Ismail Ibne Muhammad Ibne Ali Ibne Ismail Ibne Ali Ibne Abdullah Ibne Abbas Ibne Abdul Muttalib said:
Once I sat on the side of the road waiting for Abu Muhammad (a) to pass by so that I can present before him my complaint against a need. When he was passing by, I mentioned the complaint and swore that I didn’t have even a Dirham for lunch or dinner.
The narrator said that the Imam (a) said:
“You falsely swore by Allah. You have buried two hundred Dinars. These words of mine are not to deny you any grants. Young man, give him whatever is with you. His servant, gave me one hundred Dinars. He then turned to me and said:
“You will be deprived of it in your worst days.”
He meant those Dinars that I had buried for a difficult day. What he said was true. I had buried two hundred Dinars thinking that they would only be used in very difficult times. When I faced such a difficult day and all the ways to find a living was closed, I went to take out the two hundred Dinars, but found that there was not even a single Dinar. In fact, my son had learned where the Dinars were and had taken them and run away. I could not benefit from any of that money.
