كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ مَا أَزْرَعُ الزَّرْعَ لِطَلَبِ الْفَضْلِ فِيهِ وَ مَا أَزْرَعُهُ إِلَّا لِيَنَالَهُ الْمُعْتَرُّ وَ ذُو الْحَاجَةِ وَ تَنَالَهُ الْقُنْبُرَةُ مِنْهُ خَاصَّةً مِنَ الطَّيْرِ .
Translation
And by his chain, said, ‘Ali<sup>asws</sup> Bin Al-Husayn<sup>asws</sup> was saying: ‘I do not farm the plantation in order to seek the Grace in it, and I<sup>asws</sup> do not farm except for the beggar to take from it, and the one with the need, and what the grouse takes from it, particularly from the birds’.
