إِنَّا نَتَّجِرُ إِلَى هَذِهِ الْجِبَالِ فَنَأْتِي مِنْهَا عَلَى أَمْكِنَةٍ لَا نَقْدِرُ أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ إِلَّا عَلَى الثَّلْجِ فَقَالَ أَلَّا تَكُونُ مِثْلَ فُلَانٍ يَرْضَى بِالدُّونِ وَ لَا يَطْلُبُ تِجَارَةً لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ إِلَّا عَلَى الثَّلْجِ .


Translation

From him, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Hashim, from Husayn Bin Abu Al A’ala, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> that a man came to Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, so he said, ‘We do business to these mountains, so we come to places where we are not able to Pray except upon the snow’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Can’t you become like so and so who is pleased with the less and he does not seek business where he is not able to Pray except upon the snow?’
