Imam’s generosity

Miracles of Masoomeen 22:15

Muhammad Ibne Ibrahim, known as Ibne Kurdiy, has narrated from Muhammad Ibne Ali Ibne Ibrahim Ibne Musa Ibne Ja’far (a) who has said the following:

We were under pressure and constraint. My father said:

“Let us go to Abu Muhammad (a). People describe him as very generous and considerate.”

I asked, “Do you know him?”

He said, “No, I do not know him and I have not seen him before.”

We decided to go and meet him. My father said on the way:

“I wish he would grant us five hundred Dirhams: two hundred for clothes, two hundred to pay the debts and two hundred for expenses. We need this much very badly.”

I said to myself, “I wish he will grant me three hundred Dirhams, one hundred to buy a donkey, one hundred for expenses and one hundred for clothes to go to the mountains.”

The narrator said that when we arrived at the door a slave came out and said:

“Ali Ibne Ibrahim and his son Muhammad come inside.”

When we were in the Imam’s presence we offered greetings of peace and he said to my father:

“O Ali, what held you back from coming to us until now?”

He said, “My master, I felt shy to approach you in this condition.”

When we left, his slave gave a bag of money to my father, saying:

“This is five hundred Dirhams, two hundred for clothes, two hundred to pay debts and two hundred for expenses.”

He gave me a bag and said, “This is three hundred Dirhams, a hundred for the donkey, a hundred for clothes and a hundred for expenses. Don’t go to the mountains; go to Sawra.”

I went to Sawra and married a woman and now my income from properties is a thousand Dinars.

It is narrated from Huzaifah bin Usaid Ghiffari who said: When Hasan bin Ali bade farewell to Muawiyah and left for Medina, I accompanied him in his journey, and there was a loaded camel in front of him, not separating from him wherever he headed. One day I said to him, ‘May I be sacrificed for you, O Abu Muhammad! This luggage, you do not separate from it wherever you are headed.’ He said: ‘O Huzaifah! Do you know what it is?’ I said, ‘No.’ He said: ‘This is the register.’ I said, ‘A register of what?’ He said: ‘Register of our Shias wherein are their names.’ I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you! Show me my name.’ He said: ‘Come in the morning.’ He said: ‘I went to him in the morning and with me was a nephew of mine, and he was literate and I could not read. He said: ‘What have you come for in the morning?’ I said, ‘The need which you promised me.’ He said: ‘Who is that youth with you?’ I said, ‘A nephew of mine, and he is literate, and I am not.’ He (the narrator) said, ‘He said to me: ‘Be seated!’ So, I sat down. He said: ‘Get me the middle register.’ I came with it.’ The youth looked and there were names listed. While he was reading, he said, ‘O uncle! Here is my name!’ I said, ‘May your mother be bereft of you! Look where my name is.’ He turned a page, then said, ‘There is your name.’ So, we cheered, and the youth was martyred with Husain bin Ali” Reference: Basairud Darajaat, Pg. 172, Tr. 6, Miracles of Ahlulbayt (a.s. ) - Vol. 2.Pg.70
