Al-Kafi 8462

Translation

From him, from Yusuf Bin Al Sukht, from Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Suleyman, from his father, from Isa Bin Abdullah who said, ‘(Death) presented itself to Abdullah, so his creditors gathered around him so they sought the debts which were for them. So he said, ‘There is no wealth with me so I can give it to you, but turn to whoever you like from the son of my uncle Ali^asws Bin Al Husayn^asws and Abdullah Bin Jaffer’. So the creditors said, ‘Abdullah Bin Ja’far delays and prolongs (matters), and Ali^asws Bin Al-Husayn^asws is a man with no wealth for him^asws, (but) is a truthful one, and he^asws is the more beloved of the two to us’. So he sent for him^asws, so he^asws said: ‘I^asws take the responsibility for you for the wealth to a harvest (time)’ as a show of kindness, and there was no harvest for him^asws. So the people said, ‘You^asws have pleased us’, and they held him^asws as a guarantor. So when the time of harvest came, Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Gave him^asws the (required) wealth, so he^asws paid it’.
