شَهِدْتُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنَ عَمَّارٍ يَوْماً وَ قَدْ شَدَّ كِيسَهُ وَ هُوَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَقُومَ فَجَاءَهُ إِنْسَانٌ يَطْلُبُ دَرَاهِمَ بِدِينَارٍ فَحَلَّ الْكِيسَ فَأَعْطَاهُ دَرَاهِمَ بِدِينَارٍ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مَا كَانَ فَضْلُ هَذَا الدِّينَارِ فَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ مَا فَعَلْتُ هَذَا رَغْبَةً فِي فَضْلِ الدِّينَارِ وَ لَكِنْ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ مَنِ اسْتَقَلَّ قَلِيلَ الرِّزْقِ حُرِمَ الْكَثِيرَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Bundar, from Ahmad Bin Abdu Abdullah, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from a man who heard it from Al Husayn Al Jammal who said, ‘I Witnessed Is’haq Bin Ammar one day and he had packed his bag and he wanted to move, when a person came asking to exchange Dirhams with Dinars. So he opened his bag and gave him Dirhams for Dinars. So I said to him, ‘Glory be to Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! How Dinars can be better?’ So Is’haq said, ‘I did not do this (exchange) in my craving regarding the preference of the Dinar, but I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘The one who belittles the little sustenance, would deprived of a lot’.
