كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَمَرَرْنَا عَلَى رَجُلٍ فِي أَصْلِ شَجَرَةٍ وَ قَدْ أَلْقَى بِنَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ مِلْ بِنَا إِلَى هَذَا الرَّجُلِ فَإِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ أَصَابَهُ عَطَشٌ فَمِلْنَا فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْفَرَاسِينَ طَوِيلُ الشَّعْرِ فَسَأَلَهُ أَ عَطْشَانُ أَنْتَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ لِي انْزِلْ يَا مُصَادِفُ فَاسْقِهِ فَنَزَلْتُ وَ سَقَيْتُهُ ثُمَّ رَكِبْتُ وَ سِرْنَا فَقُلْتُ هَذَا نَصْرَانِيٌّ فَتَتَصَدَّقُ عَلَى نَصْرَانِيٍّ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ إِذَا كَانُوا فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا الْحَالِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Hadeed, from Murazim, from Mosadif who said, ‘I was with Abu Abdullah between Makkah and Al-Medina, so we passed by a man at the base of a tree and he had thrown himself (fainted). So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Let us go to this man, for I<sup>asws</sup> fear that he happens to have been hit by thirst. So we went and there was a man from Al-Faraseen with long hair. So he<sup>asws</sup> asked him: ‘Are you thirsty?’ So he said, ‘Yes’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘Descend, O Musadif, and quench him’. So I descended and quenched him, then rode, and we went. So I said, ‘This is a Christian man. So you<sup>asws</sup> give charity to a Christian?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Yes, when they are upon a state like this’.
