إِنَّ حَارِثاً الْأَعْوَرَ أَتَى أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) وَ قَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أُحِبُّ أَنْ تُكْرِمَنِي بِأَنْ تَأْكُلَ عِنْدِي فَقَالَ لَهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) عَلَى أَنْ لَا تَتَكَلَّفَ لِي شَيْئاً وَ دَخَلَ فَأَتَاهُ الْحَارِثُ بِكِسْرَةٍ فَجَعَلَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) يَأْكُلُ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْحَارِثُ إِنَّ مَعِي دَرَاهِمَ وَ أَظْهَرَهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ فِي كُمِّهِ فَإِنْ أَذِنْتَ لِي اشْتَرَيْتُ لَكَ شَيْئاً غَيْرَهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) هَذِهِ مِمَّا فِي بَيْتِكَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Hadeed, from Murazam Bin Hakeym, from the one who raised it to him, said, ‘Harsa Bin Al-Awr came over to Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> and said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup>! I would love it if you<sup>asws</sup> could honour me by eating with me’. So Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘Upon the condition that you would not make efforts for me for anything’. And he<sup>asws</sup> went over. So Al-Haris gave him<sup>asws</sup> a piece of bread, so Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> went on to eat it. So Al-Haris said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘I have some Dirhams with me’, and he went on to show these, and these were in his sleeve, ‘So if you<sup>asws</sup> were to allow me, I would buy something for you other than this’. So Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘This here is from what was in your house’.
