دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ عَلَيَّ نَعْلٌ بَيْضَاءُ فَقَالَ يَا سَدِيرُ مَا هَذِهِ النَّعْلُ احْتَذَيْتَهَا عَلَى عِلْمٍ قُلْتُ لَا وَ اللَّهِ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَقَالَ مَنْ دَخَلَ السُّوقَ قَاصِداً لِنَعْلٍ بَيْضَاءَ لَمْ يُبْلِهَا حَتَّى يَكْتَسِبَ مَالًا مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ قَالَ أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ أَخْبَرَنِي سَدِيرٌ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُبْلِ تِلْكَ النَّعْلَ حَتَّى اكْتَسَبَ مِائَةَ دِينَارٍ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Al Sayyari, from Abu Suleyman Al Khawwas, from Al Fazl Bin Dukeyn, from Sadeyr Al Sayrafi who said, ‘I went over to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> and upon me were white sandals. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O Sadeyr! What is this sandal? Did you wear this knowingly?’ I said, ‘No, by Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, may I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>!’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The one who enters the market intending the white shoes, would not renew it (buy another new pair) until he attains wealth from where he did not expect’. Abu Nuaym said, ‘Sadeyr (the narrator) informed me that he did not renew that sandal until he had attained one hundred Dinars from where he did not expect’.
