Hadith 448
۞
H 235- In another report it is added that Abu Surah said: That young man asked about my well being and I mentioned my precarious finances. We continued our journey till we reached Nawawis at dawn. When we sat down at a spot, he dug in the sand with his fingers and water appeared. He performed ablution and prayed thirteen units of prayer. Then he said: Go to Abul Hasan Ali bin Yahya, convey my greetings to him and say that a person has told him to give you a hundred dinars from the seven hundred dinars that are buried at such and such place. So I went to his place immediately, knocked at his door and a maid called out from inside: Who is there?
I said: Tell your master that Abu Surah has come to meet him. I heard Abul Hasan remark: What does Abu Surah have to do with me? But in spite of that he came out and I narrated the whole story to him. He went inside and brought a hundred dinars and gave them to me. Then he asked: Did you shake hands with the Imam? Yes, I said. He took my hand and rubbed it on his face and eyes.
235- وفي حديث آخر عنه وزاد فيه: قال أبوسورة: فسألني الرجل عن حالي فأخبرته بضيقي وبعيلتي، فلم يزل يماشيني حتى انتهينا إلى النواويس في السحر فجلسنا، ثم حفر بيده فإذا الماء قد خرج فتوضأ ثم صلى ثلاث عشرة ركعة، ثم قال (لي): امض إلى أبي الحسن علي بن يحيى، فاقرأ عليه السلام وقل له: يقول لك الرجل إدفع إلى أبي سورة من السبع مائة دينار التي مدفونة في موضع كذا وكذا مائة دينار. وإني مضيت من ساعتي إلى منزله فدققت الباب فقال: من هذا؟ فقلت قولي لابي الحسن:هذا أبو سورة، فسمعته يقول: ما لي ولابي سورة، ثم خرج إلي فسلمت عليه وقصصت عليه الخبر، فدخل وأخرج إلي مائة دينار فقبضتها، فقال لي: صافحته؟ فقلت: نعم، فأخذ يدي فوضعها على عينيه ومسح بها وجهه.
