أَتَتِ الْمَوَالِي أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالُوا نَشْكُو إِلَيْكَ هَؤُلَاءِ الْعَرَبَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) كَانَ يُعْطِينَا مَعَهُمُ الْعَطَايَا بِالسَّوِيَّةِ وَ زَوَّجَ سَلْمَانَ وَ بِلَالًا وَ صُهَيْباً وَ أَبَوْا عَلَيْنَا هَؤُلَاءِ وَ قَالُوا لَا نَفْعَلُ فَذَهَبَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) فَكَلَّمَهُمْ فِيهِمْ فَصَاحَ الْأَعَارِيبُ أَبَيْنَا ذَلِكَ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ أَبَيْنَا ذَلِكَ فَخَرَجَ وَ هُوَ مُغْضَبٌ يُجَرُّ رِدَاؤُهُ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمَوَالِي إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ قَدْ صَيَّرُوكُمْ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْيَهُودِ وَ النَّصَارَى يَتَزَوَّجُونَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَ لَا يُزَوِّجُونَكُمْ وَ لَا يُعْطُونَكُمْ مِثْلَ مَا يَأْخُذُونَ فَاتَّجِرُوا بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ فَإِنِّي قَدْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) يَقُولُ الرِّزْقُ عَشَرَةُ أَجْزَاءٍ تِسْعَةُ أَجْزَاءٍ فِي التِّجَارَةِ وَ وَاحِدَةٌ فِي غَيْرِهَا .
Translation
Ahmad Bin Muhammad Al Asamy, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Al nahdy, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Shareef Bin Sabiq, from Al Fazl Bin Abu Qurra, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The partisans came over to Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup>, so they said, ‘We complain to you<sup>asws</sup> of these Arabs. Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> would give us the gifts along with them with the equality, and he<sup>saww</sup> got Salman<sup>as</sup>, and Bilal, and Suhayb married, and they are refusing upon us, and they are saying, We will not do it’. So Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> went to them and he<sup>asws</sup> spoke among them. So the Bedouins shouted, ‘We refuse that, O Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup>! We refuse that’. So he<sup>asws</sup> went out and he<sup>asws</sup> was angered with his<sup>asws</sup> cloak dragging, and he<sup>asws</sup> was saying: ‘O group of partisans! They have considered you at the status of the Jews and the Christians. They are getting married to you (your daughters), but they are not marrying (their daughters) to you, and they are not giving you the like of what they are taking. Therefore, do business! Allah<sup>azwj</sup> will Bless for you, for I<sup>asws</sup> have heard Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> saying: ‘The sustenance is of ten parts. Nine parts are in the business and one is in something else’.
