دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَذَكَرْتُ لَهُ بَعْضَ حَالِي فَقَالَ يَا جَارِيَةُ هَاتِ ذَلِكَ الْكِيسَ هَذِهِ أَرْبَعُمِائَةِ دِينَارٍ وَصَلَنِي بِهَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ فَخُذْهَا وَ تَفَرَّجْ بِهَا قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَا وَ اللَّهِ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ مَا هَذَا دَهْرِي وَ لَكِنْ أَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ تَدْعُوَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِي قَالَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَأَفْعَلُ وَ لَكِنْ إِيَّاكَ أَنْ تُخْبِرَ النَّاسَ بِكُلِّ حَالِكَ فَتَهُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ .
Translation
Ali Bin Muhammad, and Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hassan, from Al Abbas Bin Aamir, from Muhammad Bin Ibrahim Al Sayrafi, from Mufazzal Bin Qays Bin Rummana who said, ‘I came over to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, and I mentioned to him some of my state. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O maid! Bring me<sup>asws</sup> that bag!’ These are the four hundred Dinars which were sent to me by Abu Ja’far (Al-Mansour the Caliph), so take these and ease (your financial problems) with these’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So I said, ‘No, by Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! This is not my purpose, but I would love it if you<sup>asws</sup> could supplicate to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic for me’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘I<sup>asws</sup> shall be doing it, but beware of informing the people with all of your state, for you would be belittled by them’.
