It is narrated that a man brought a huge quantity of money
for Imam Ali Reza (a.s.); but he saw that the Imam was not pleased on receiving
it. Therefore, he was disappointed and said to himself: “I brought such a huge
quantity of money to His Eminence, but he didn’t display any joy on receiving
it.”
His Eminence ordered his servant to bring jug and the water
pail, and himself sat on a stool. He said: “Servant, pour water on my hands.”
When the water was poured, that man saw gold pouring out from the hands of Imam
(a.s.). At that moment Imam (a.s.) glanced at him and said: “These monies are
not important in the view of one who is as such.”
