مَرَّ بِيَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ أَيَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ تَصْنَعِينَ يَا أُمَّ الْحَسَنِ قُلْتُ أَغْزِلُ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ أَحَلُّ الْكَسْبِ أَوْ مِنْ أَحَلِّ الْكَسْبِ .


Translation

Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Usman Bin Isa, from Abu Zahra, from Umm Al Hassan who said, ‘Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> passed by me, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Which thing are you doing O Umm Al-Hassan?’ I said, ‘I am spinning (yarn)’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘But, it is a sweet earning’, or ‘from the sweetest of earnings’.
