كَانَ رَجُلٌ يَدْخُلُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَغَبَرَ زَمَاناً لَا يَحُجُّ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ بَعْضُ مَعَارِفِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ فُلَانٌ مَا فَعَلَ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ يُضَجِّعُ الْكَلَامَ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا يَعْنِي الْمَيْسَرَةَ وَ الدُّنْيَا فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) كَيْفَ دِينُهُ فَقَالَ كَمَا تُحِبُّ فَقَالَ هُوَ وَ اللَّهِ الْغِنَى .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Ibn Fazzal, from Yunus Bin Yaqoub, from one of his companions who said, ‘A man from his<sup>asws</sup> used to come over to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, but he was absent for a time not performing Hajj. So one of his acquaintances came over to him<sup>asws</sup>. So he<sup>asws</sup> said to him: ‘So and so, what happened?’ So he went on laying down the speech, thinking that he, rather, had become rich, the affluent, and the worldly. So Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘How is his Religion?’ So he said, ‘Just as you<sup>asws</sup> love’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘By Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! It is the richness’.
