كُنْتُ مَعَ مُوسَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بِيَنْبُعَ وَ قَدْ نَفِدَتْ نَفَقَتِي فِي بَعْضِ الْأَسْفَارِ فَقَالَ لِي بَعْضُ وُلْدِ الْحُسَيْنِ مَنْ تُؤَمِّلُ لِمَا قَدْ نَزَلَ بِكَ فَقُلْتُ مُوسَى بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ إِذاً لَا تُقْضَى حَاجَتُكَ ثُمَّ لَا تُنْجَحُ طَلِبَتُكَ قُلْتُ وَ لِمَ ذَاكَ قَالَ لِأَنِّي قَدْ وَجَدْتُ فِي بَعْضِ كُتُبِ آبَائِي أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَمْلِ عَلَيَّ فَأَمْلَاهُ عَلَيَّ فَقُلْتُ لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا أَسْأَلُهُ حَاجَةً بَعْدَهَا.
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Hassan, from one of our companions, from Abbad Bin Yaqoub Al Rawwajiny, from Saeed Bin Abdul Rahman who said, ‘I was with Musa Bin Abdullah at Yanbu, and my expense monies had depleted in one of the journeys. So one of the sons of Al-Husayn<sup>asws</sup> said to me, ‘Who will take care of what has befallen you?’ So I said, ‘Musa Bin Abdullah’. So he said, ‘Then your need would not be fulfilled. Then your seeking would not be accomplished’. I said, ‘And why is that so?’ He said, ‘Because I have found in one of the Books of my forefathers<sup>asws</sup> that Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic is Saying . . .’, and he mentioned similar to it (the above Hadeeth). So I said, ‘O son of Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>! Dictate it to me’. So he dictated it to me. So I said, ‘No, by Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! I will not ask him for a need after it’.
