Hadith 103

(The book) ‘Al Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashub –
‘A guest lodged with Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws, so he-asws borrowed an ounce of honey from Qanbar which he had come with from Al-Yemen. When Ali-asws sat to distribute it, he-asws said: ‘O Qanbar!

He-asws said: ‘What carried you-asws upon taking from it before the distribution? ’ He-asws said: ‘There is a right for us-asws in it. So, when you-asws give it, we-asws shall return it’. He-asws said: ‘May your-asws father-asws be sacrificed! And even if there was a right for you-asws in it, it isn’t for you-asws that you-asws should benefit with your-asws right before the Muslims have benefitted from their rights! Had I-asws not seen Rasool-Allah-saww kissing your-asws hands, I-asws would have pained you-asws with a strike’. Then he-asws handed a Dirham to Qanbar and said: ‘But some new honey with it what you are able upon’. The reporter said, ‘It is as if I am looking at the hands of Ali-asws upon the opening of the bag (of honey) and Qanbar was turning the honey in it, then he-asws tied it and said: ‘O Allah-azwj! Forgive it for Al-Hassan-asws, for he-asws does not know’’. [24] (derogatory
Explanation (by Majlisi) – ‘the way of the adversaries (despite it being in a Shia book), and we do not regard it as correct based on its validity, that he-asws would happen to take it before the distribution along with his-asws right in it being objectionable’’.
