صَحِبْتُهُ بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَجَاءَ سَائِلٌ فَأَمَرَ أَنْ يُعْطَى ثُمَّ جَاءَ آخَرُ فَأَمَرَ أَنْ يُعْطَى ثُمَّ جَاءَ آخَرُ فَأَمَرَ أَنْ يُعْطَى ثُمَّ جَاءَ الرَّابِعُ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يُشْبِعُكَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّ عِنْدَنَا مَا نُعْطِيهِ وَ لَكِنْ أَخْشَى أَنْ نَكُونَ كَأَحَدِ الثَّلَاثَةِ الَّذِينَ لَا يُسْتَجَابُ لَهُمْ دَعْوَةٌ رَجُلٌ أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ مَالًا فَأَنْفَقَهُ فِي غَيْرِ حَقِّهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي فَلَا يُسْتَجَابُ لَهُ وَ رَجُلٌ يَدْعُو عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ أَنْ يُرِيحَهُ مِنْهَا وَ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَمْرَهَا إِلَيْهِ وَ رَجُلٌ يَدْعُو عَلَى جَارِهِ وَ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ السَّبِيلَ إِلَى أَنْ يَتَحَوَّلَ عَنْ جِوَارِهِ وَ يَبِيعَ دَارَهُ .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Husayn Bin Mukhtar, from Al Waleed Bin Sabeeh, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I accompanied him<sup>asws</sup> between Makkah and Al-Medina, and a beggar came over. So he<sup>asws</sup> ordered that he should be given. Then another one came over, so he<sup>asws</sup> ordered that he should be given. Then another one came over, so he<sup>asws</sup> ordered that he should be given. Then the fourth one came over, so Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘May Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Satiate you’. Then he<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> turned towards us and he<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> said: ‘But there is with us<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> what we<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> can give him, but I<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> fear lest we<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> would become like one of the three whose supplications are not Answered for them – a man whom Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> had Given wealth, so he spent it in other that its rightful place, then says, ‘O Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup>! Grace me’, so it would not be Answered for him. And a man who I supplicating against his wife that he be freed from her, and Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic has already Made her matter to him; and a man who is supplicating against his neighbour, and Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic has already Made a way for him that he can move away from his neighbour and buy his house (somewhere else)’.
