كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ( عليه السلام ) يُعْجِبُهُ الْعِنَبُ فَكَانَ يَوْماً صَائِماً فَلَمَّا أَفْطَرَ كَانَ أَوَّلُ مَا جَاءَ الْعِنَبُ أَتَتْهُ أُمُّ وَلَدٍ لَهُ بِعُنْقُودِ عِنَبٍ فَوَضَعَتْهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَجَاءَ سَائِلٌ فَدَفَعَهُ إِلَيْهِ فَدَسَّتْ أُمُّ وَلَدِهِ إِلَى السَّائِلِ فَاشْتَرَتْهُ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ أَتَتْهُ بِهِ فَوَضَعَتْهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَجَاءَ سَائِلٌ آخَرُ فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ فَفَعَلَتْ أُمُّ الْوَلَدِ كَذَلِكَ ثُمَّ أَتَتْهُ بِهِ فَوَضَعَتْهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَجَاءَ سَائِلٌ آخَرُ فَأَعْطَاهُ فَفَعَلَتْ أُمُّ الْوَلَدِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي الْمَرَّةِ الرَّابِعَةِ أَكَلَهُ ( عليه السلام ).


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Salim who said, ‘Ali<sup>asws</sup> Bin Al-Husayn<sup>asws</sup> liked the grapes. So one day he<sup>as</sup> was Fasting, and when he<sup>as</sup> broke Fast the first of what came were the grapes, given to him<sup>asws</sup> by a mother of his<sup>as</sup> child, a cluster of grapes. So she placed these in front of him<sup>asws</sup>, and a beggar came over. So he<sup>asws</sup> handed these over to him, and the mother of his<sup>as</sup> child went to the beggar and bought them off from him. Then she came with it and placed it in front of him<sup>asws</sup>. So another beggar came over, and he<sup>asws</sup> gave these to him. So the mother of his<sup>as</sup> child did the like of that. Then she came with these and placed them in front of him<sup>as</sup>. So there came another beggar, and he<sup>asws</sup> gave these to him. So the mother of his<sup>asws</sup> child did the like of that. So when it was during the fourth time, he<sup>asws</sup> ate it (as no other beggar came over)’.
