Hadith 49

said: ‘Whatever was to be from the charity, and the Salat, and the Fasting, and the righteous works, all of these voluntary, the most superior of these would be whatever was done secretly, and whatever was an Imposed Obligation from that, the best of it is he should be open with it’’. [71]
And from Ali-asws: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Repel with the charity, the diseases and the sores, and the drowning, and the burning, and the crushing, and the insanity’ – until he-saww counted seventy types of afflictions’’. [72]

He was saddened at that with severe sadness and concealed him, and he went on to delay the consummation until his wife, and his son, and family members of the woman insisted upon him. When he could not find any means, he sought the Choice of Allah-azwj and said, ‘Perhaps that was from the Satan-la! ’
He (father) sent his (son’s) wife to him, while he spent the night of consummation, standing and waiting what would happen to his son until when it was the next morning, he went to him and found him being upon excellent state. He praised Allah-azwj and lauded upon Him-azwj. When it was the night, he slept. There came to him the one who had come to him in his dream.

He said, ‘You inform me with it! ’
He was modest from him. He said, ‘There is no escape from you informing me with the news! ’
He said, ‘Yes. When we were free from what we were in, from feeding the people, a lot of surplus from the food remained for us, and the wife was brought to me. When I was isolated with her and went near her, a beggar paused at the door. He said, ‘O people of the house! Extend to us from what Allah-azwj has Graced you! ’
I stood up to him and held his hand and let him enter and drew him closer to the food, and I said to him, ‘Eat! ’
He ate until he was satiated, and I said, ‘Are there dependants for you? ’
He said, ‘Yes’. I said, ‘Carry to them whatever you want! ’
He carried whatever he was able upon and left, and I left to go to my wife’. His father praised him and informed him with the news’’. [73]
