Hadith 74

(The book) ‘Al Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashub – It is mentioned by the author of; Kitab Al HIlyah Al Imam Al NAtiq Zul Zimam Al Sabiq’ –
‘Abu Abdullah Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq-asws, and he mentioned in it with the chain from Abu Al-Hayyaj Bin Bistam who said, ‘Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws would feed (people) until there would not remain anything for his-asws dependants’’. [81]
Abu Ja’far Al Khas’amy said, ‘Al-Sadiq-asws gave me a package. He-asws said to me ‘Hand it over to a man from the clan of Hashim-as and do not let him know that I-asws had given you anything’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I went to him. He said, ‘May Allah-azwj Recompense him-asws goodly. He-asws has not ceased to send it every time, so we can live with it up to the next year, but Ja’far-asws does not help up with (even) one Dirham from his-asws abundant wealth’’. [82]
And in ‘Kitab Al Funoon’ –
‘A man from the pilgrims slept in Al-Medina, and he imagined that his money-belt had been stolen. He went out, and he saw Ja’far Al-Sadiq-asws praying Salat, and he did not recognise him-asws. He met with him-asws and said to him-asws, ‘You-asws have taken my money-belt’. He-asws said: ‘What was in it? ’ He said, ‘A thousand Dinars’. He (the narrator) said, ‘He took him to his-asws house and weighed out a thousand Dinars for him, and he returned to his house and found his money-belt. He returned to Ja’far-asws with the wealth, apologising. But he-asws refused to accept it and said: ‘A thing going out from my-asws hand cannot return to me-asws’’. And he (the narrator) said, ‘The man asked about him-asws. It was said, ‘This is Ja’far Al-Sadiq-asws’. He said, ‘No doubt this is a deed of the likes of him-asws’’. And Al-Ashja’a Al-Sulamy entered to see Al-Sadiq-asws. He found him-asws unwell, seated, and he asked about his-asws illness, his-asws mood. Al-Sadiq-asws said to him: ‘You are counting the illnesses and I-asws am mentioning what you have come for’. He said (a poem), ‘May Allah-azwj Clothe you-asws with well-being from it in your-asws sleep and your-asws wakefulness. May the sickness exit from your-asws body (like) the humble good deed (tends to) exit from your-asws neck’. He-asws said: ‘O boy! Which thing is there with you (you are looking after)? ’ He said, ‘Four hundred’. He-asws said: ‘Give it to Al-Ashja’a! ’’[83]

‘A beggar asked him-asws a need. He-asws hel
