Ibrahim bin Musa Qazzaz says: One day I was in the gathering of Imam Ali Reza (a) and I pleaded with him to help me financially.
The Imam emerged from his house to wait for some students. I also came out and waited under a castle for my relatives. Meanwhile it was time for prayers. The Imam came under the shade of a tree near the palace and told me to recite the Adhaan.
“Maula, please wait for sometime so that some of our companions may arrive after which we would recite the Adhaan and pray as right now there are only two of us.”
“May God forgive you,” he said, “Prayer must be offered at the earliest hour and it must not be delayed without compulsion.”
So I recited the Adhaan and we prayed. Finding an opportune time, I said,
“Maula, you know that I am in dire straits and you had also promised to help me; but since you are always so busy, I don’t like pestering you all the time.”
The Imam scratched the earth hard with his whip extracted a piece of gold from the ground and handed it to me, saying,
“Take this from me. God will give you in excess. But don’t divulge this to anyone.”
Almighty Allah really bestowed me in excess after that and I even acquired landed property in Khorasan worth seventy thousand Dinars and became a well known affluent man of my time.
