John Shaqi

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ لِي أَرْضَ خَرَاجٍ وَ قَدْ ضِقْتُ بِهَا ذَرْعاً قَالَ فَسَكَتَ هُنَيْهَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ قَائِمَنَا لَوْ قَدْ قَامَ كَانَ نَصِيبُكَ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْهَا وَ لَوْ قَدْ قَامَ قَائِمُنَا ( عليه السلام ) كَانَ الْأُسْتَانُ أَمْثَلَ مِنْ قَطَائِعِهِمْ .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ismail Bin Marrar, from Yunus, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, from his father who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘For me is a land of taxes, and I am straitened by it, tired’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So he<sup>asws</sup> was silent for a while, then said: ‘When our<sup>asws</sup> Qaim<sup>asws</sup> rises, your share in the land would be greater than it, and if our<sup>asws</sup> Qaim<sup>asws</sup> were to rise, Al Astaan would be more ideal than their pieces (of land)’.
