Ali Ibne Yaqteen narrates that once Haroon Rasheed gave him a royal black dress woven with golden strings. He sent that dress with other gifts to Imam Moosa Kazim (a.s.).
Imam (a.s.) accepted the other gifts and returned the lack dress with an advice to preserve the the dress as it will be useful to me.
One of my slave who was aware of my love towards Imam Kazim ( a.s.) complained to Haroon Rasheed about my relationship with Imam (a.s.). He also informed that I have sent the expensive dress gifted by Haroon to Imam (a.s.). Haroon was very furious with me and called me.
He enquired about the dress and asked me to show him the dress. I asked my servant to get a particular cover which contained the dress and was kept in a particular bag. The servant brought the cover and I showed the dress to Haroon. His anger cool down and he ordered the slave to be whipped. Finally, the slave died of the whipping.
