40-8 Al-Hakim Abu Ali Al-Husayn ibn Ahmad al-Bayhaqi narrated that Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Sowli quoted on the authority of Harun ibn Abdullah al-Mohallabi
“When Ibrahim ibn Al-Abbas and De’bel al-Khoza’ee reached Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) after the people had pledged allegiance to him, De’bel said,‘The schools for the Qur’anic verses are void of reciting nowand the landing site of revelations is left like a barren desert!’And Ibrahim ibn Al-Abbas recited the following,‘After enduring calamities, they will remove the weariness of the hearts:The shrines of the children of the Prophet Muhammad.’Then Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) granted them twenty-thousand Dirhams which were coined in his name. De’bel went towards Qum with his share of ten-thousand Dirhams and exchanged each Dirham with ten other Dirhams. Thus he got one-hundred thousand Dirhams. Ibrahim had most of the money except for some which he had donated to some people or his family until he died - may God forgive him. The expenses for his shrouding and burial were paid for by using that money.

لَمَّا وَصَلَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ وَدِعْبِلُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ إِلَى الرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ وَقَدْ بُويِعَ لَهُ بِالْعَهْدِ أَنْشَدَهُ دِعْبِلٌ:مَدَارِسُ آيَاتٍ خَلَتْ مِنْ تِلاوَةٍوَمَنْزِلُ وَحْيٍ مُقْفِرُ الْعَرَصَاتِ‏وَأَنْشَدَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ:أَزَالَ عَزَاءَ الْقَلْبِ بَعْدَ التَّجَلُّدِمَصَارِعُ أَوْلادِ النَّبِيِّ مُحَمَّدٍفَوَهَبَ لَهُمَا عِشْرِينَ أَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ مِنَ الدَّرَاهِمِ الَّتِي عَلَيْهَا اسْمُهُ كَانَ الْمَأْمُونُ أَمَرَ بِضَرْبِهَا فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ قَالَ فَأَمَّا دِعْبِلٌ فَصَارَ بِالْعَشَرَةِ آلافٍ الَّتِي حِصَّتُهُ إِلَى قُمَّ فَبَاعَ كُلَّ دِرْهَمٍ بِعَشَرَةِ دَرَاهِمَ فَتَخَلَّصَتْ لَهُ مِائَةُ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ وَأَمَّا إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَلَمْ تَزَلْ عِنْدَهُ بَعْدَ أَنْ أَهْدَى بَعْضَهَا وَفَرَّقَ بَعْضَهَا عَلَى أَهْلِهِ إِلَى أَنْ تُوُفِّيَ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فَكَانَ كَفَنُهُ وَجَهَازُهُ مِنْهَا.
