13. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn ‘Abd Allah from his father from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad ibn Sulayman who has said that narrated to him Jamil ibn Salih from abu ‘Amr al-Shaybaniy who has said the following
“I once saw abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), with a shovel in his hand wearing a very thick dress working inside his walls and his back drenched in perspiration. I then asked, I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, allow me to help you.’ He said to me, ‘I Love that man endures hardships in the hot sun to make a living.”
13- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي جَمِيلُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو الشَّيْبَانِيِّ قَالَ
رَأَيْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) وَبِيَدِهِ مِسْحَاةٌ وَعَلَيْهِ إِزَارٌ غَلِيظٌ يَعْمَلُ فِي حَائِطٍ لَهُ وَالْعَرَقُ يَتَصَابُّ عَنْ ظَهْرِهِ فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ أَعْطِنِي أَكْفِكَ فَقَالَ لِي إِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ يَتَأَذَّى الرَّجُلُ بِحَرِّ الشَّمْسِ فِي طَلَبِ الْمَعِيشَةِ.
