John Shaqi

قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَا أَبَا الصَّبَّاحِ شِرَاءُ الدَّقِيقِ ذُلٌّ وَ شِرَاءُ الْحِنْطَةِ عِزٌّ وَ شِرَاءُ الْخُبْزِ فَقْرٌ فَنَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الْفَقْرِ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Abdullah Bin Jabala, from Abu Al Sabbah Al Kinany who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘O Abu Al Sabbah! Buying the flour is a disgrace, and buying the wheat is an honour, and buying the bread is poverty. We<sup>asws</sup> seek Refuge with Allah<sup>saww</sup> from the poverty’.
