قُلْتُ لِلرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ النَّاسَ رَوَوْا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) كَانَ إِذَا أَخَذَ فِي طَرِيقٍ رَجَعَ فِي غَيْرِهِ فَكَذَا كَانَ يَفْعَلُ قَالَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ وَ أَنَا أَفْعَلُهُ كَثِيراً فَافْعَلْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي أَمَا إِنَّهُ أَرْزَقُ لَكَ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Al haysam Bin Abu Masrouq Al Nahdy, from Musa Bin Umar Bin Bazie who said, ‘I said to Al-Reza<sup>asws</sup>, ‘May I be sacrificed you<sup>asws</sup>! The people are reporting that whenever Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> took to a road, would return via another (path), so that is what he<sup>saww</sup> used to do’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And I<sup>asws</sup> (also) do it many a time, therefore do it’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘However, it is (upon, it brings in) more sustenance for him’.
