سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ وَ قَدْ قَالَ لَهُ أَبُو حَنِيفَةَ عَجِبَ النَّاسُ مِنْكَ أَمْسِ وَ أَنْتَ بِعَرَفَةَ تُمَاكِسُ بِبُدْنِكَ أَشَدَّ مِكَاساً يَكُونُ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ مَا لِلَّهِ مِنَ الرِّضَا أَنْ أُغْبَنَ فِي مَالِي قَالَ فَقَالَ أَبُو حَنِيفَةَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا لِلَّهِ فِي هَذَا مِنَ الرِّضَا قَلِيلٌ وَ لَا كَثِيرٌ وَ مَا نَجِيئُكَ بِشَيْءٍ إِلَّا جِئْتَنَا بِمَا لَا مَخْرَجَ لَنَا مِنْهُ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from Ali Bin Abu Abdullah, from Al Husayn Bin Yazeed who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying, and Abu Haneefa had said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘The people were astonished from you<sup>asws</sup> yesterday in Arafaat haggling for your sacrificial animal with an intense bargaining’. So Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said to him: ‘And what would be the Pleasure from Allah<sup>azwj</sup> if I<sup>asws</sup> were to incur a loss in my<sup>asws</sup> own wealth?’ He (the narrator) said, ‘So Abu Haneefa said, ‘No, by Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! There is no Pleasure from Allah<sup>azwj</sup> in this, neither little nor more, and we do not come with anything except that he<sup>asws</sup> comes to us with what there is no way out for us from it’.
