40-7 Al-Hakim Abu Ali Al-Husayn ibn Ahmad al-Bayhaqi narrated that Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Sowli quoted on the authority of Ahmad ibn Isma’il ibn al-Khaseeb
“When Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) was appointed as the successor to the throne, Ibrahim ibn Al-Abbas and De’bel ibn Ali went to see him. They did not separate from each other. Razin ibn Ali - De’bel’s brother - was also with them. They were robbed on the way and the thieves took all their property. They took refuge with some of the people who pick various herbs and rode their animals. Ibrahim said,“These animals who were carrying herbs are now carrying earthenware.Now we are going unconsciousbut not due to being drunk.Rather it is due to being extremely weak.”Then he told Razin ibn Ali, “Finish this line up.” He added,“If you were in your previous state of festivityYour state would have been equal and you would not remain in disgrace.”Then Ibrahim told De’bel, “O Aba Ali! Finish it.” He said,“Now we have lost what we had.Therefore be patient and take it easyLet us spend the day.I will even sell my shoes for our expenses.”
7 - حَدَّثَنا الْحاكِم أَبُو عَلِي الحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أحْمَدالْبِيْهَقِيُّ قالَ حَدَّثَني مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الصُّوليُّ قالَ حَدَّثَني أَحْمَدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيل بْنِ الخصيب قالَ
لَمَّا وُلِّيَ الرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ الْعَهْدَ خَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ وَدِعْبِلُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَكَانَا لا يَفْتَرِقَانِ وَرَزِينُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ أَخُو دِعْبِلٍ فَقُطِعَ عَلَيْهِمُ الطَّرِيقُ فَالْتَجَئُوا إِلَى أَنْ رَكِبُوا إِلَى بَعْضِ الْمَنَازِلِ حَمِيراً كَانَتْ تَحْمِلُ الشَّوْكَ فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ:أُعِيدَتْ بَعْدَ حَمْلِ الشَّوْكِ أَحْمَالاً مِنَ الْخَزَفِ‏نَشَاوَى لا مِنَ الْخَمْرَةِ بَلْ مِنْ شِدَّةِ الضَّعْفِ‏ثُمَّ قَالَ لِرَزِينِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ أَجِزْهَا فَقَالَ:فَلَوْ كُنْتُمْ عَلَى ذَاكَتَصِيرُونَ إِلَى الْقَصْفِ‏تَسَاوَتْ حَالُكُمْ فِيهِوَلا تَبْقَوْا عَلَى الْخَسْفِ‏ثُمَّ قَالَ لِدِعْبِلٍ أَجِزْ يَا أَبَا عَلِيٍّ فَقَالَ:إِذَا فَاتَ الَّذِي فَاتَفَكُونُوا مِنْ ذَوِي الظَّرْفِ‏وَخُفُّوا نَقْصِفُ الْيَوْمَفَإِنِّي بَائِعُ خُفِّي‏
