قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَيُّ شَيْءٍ مَعَاشُكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ غُلَامَانِ لِي وَ جَمَلَانِ قَالَ فَقَالَ اسْتَتِرْ بِذَلِكَ مِنْ إِخْوَانِكَ فَإِنَّهُمْ إِنْ لَمْ يَضُرُّوكَ لَمْ يَنْفَعُوكَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Muhammad, from Salih Bin Abu Hammad, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Abu Ja’far Al Ahowl who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘Which thing is your livelihood?’ I said, ‘There are two slaves for me and two camels’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Conceal that from your brethren, for if they do not harm you, they would not benefit you (either)’.
