Hadith 8

(The book) ‘Kitab Al Rowza’, (and) ‘Al Fazaail’ of Ibn Shazan, from Ibrahim Bin Mihran who said, ‘There was a man at Al-Kufa teknonymed at Abu Ja’far, and he was of goodly dealings with Allah-azwj the Exalted, and the ones from the Alawites who came to him seeking something from him, he would give it, and he would say to his slave, ‘O you! Write, ‘This is what Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws has taken’. And he remained upon that for a time. Then the times sat with him and he was impoverished. One day he looked at his accounting. So, all what he found a name of a tribe upon it, from its debt, he went on to send a messenger to him, to seek it, and the one who had died, he would strike off his name. While he was seated at the door of his house when a man passed by him. He said, ‘What did Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws do with your wealth? ’
He was saddened at that with intense sadness and entered his house. When the night shielded, he saw the Prophet-saww (in the dream) and Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws were walking in front of him-saww. The Prophet-saww said to them-asws: ‘What happened to your-asws father-asws? ’ Ali-asws answered from behind him-saww: ‘Here I-asws am, O Rasool-Allah-saww! ’
He-saww said to him-asws: ‘Why didn’t you-asws hand over to this man his right? ’ Ali-asws said: ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! This is his right, I-asws have come with it’. The Prophet-saww said to him-asws: ‘Hand it over to him’. He-asws gave him a bag of white wool. He-asws said: ‘This is your right, so take it. You did not prevent the ones from my-asws children who came to you seeking anything, so there will be no poverty upon you after this’. The man said, ‘I woke up and the bag was (physically) in my hand. I called out to my wife and said to her, ‘Here! ’ I gave her the bag, and in there were a thousand Dinars. She said to me, ‘O you man! Fear Allah-azwj the Exalted and do not let your poverty carry you upon taking what you are not rightful of, and if you have deceived one of the traders of his wealth, then return it to him’. So, I narrated to her with the Hadeeth. She said, ‘If you were truthful, then show me the account of Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws’. I presented the ledger and opened it but could not find anything in it from the writing, by the Power of Allah-azwj the Exalted’’. [8]
