Hadith 104

(The book) ‘Al Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashub, (and), ‘Fazaail’ of Ahmad –
Umm Kulsoom, ‘O Abu Salih! If you could have seen Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and he-asws had been brought citrons, so Al-Hassan-asws or Al-Husayn-asws went to take a citron, but he-asws snatched it from his-asws hand, then ordered with it to be distributed between the people. A man from Khas’am was Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws eating bread and vegetables and vinegar. He said to them-asws, ‘Are you-asws eating from this and in Al-Rahba there is what is therein? ’ They-asws said: ‘We-asws are not heedless from Amir Al-Momineen-asws’’. [25] (Derogatory)
From Zazan –
Qanbar forwarded to Amir Al-Momineen-asws a golden and a silver container in Al-Rahba and said, ‘You-asws do not leave anything except you-asws are distributing it, so I have hoarded this for you-asws’. He-asws unsheathed his-asws sword and said: ‘Woe be unto you! I-asws would have loved it if you would have entered fire into my-asws house (instead)! ’ Then he-asws presented it and struck it with his-asws sword until it was scattered from between the container, some thirty pieces, and said: ‘To me-asws with the administrators! ’ They came. He-asws said: ‘This is with the shares’, and he-asws said (a couplet), ‘This is my-asws felony and his choice in it, and every felon, his hand is to his mouth’’. [26]
The book) ‘Ansaab Al Sharaaf’ –
‘The maid gave him-asws a blanket in one of the nights. He-asws disliked it to be handed over. He-asws said: ‘What is this? ’ The maid said, ‘This is from the blankets of charity’. He-asws said: ‘We-asws are able to endure the cold for the remainder of our night’. And Aqeel came to him, so he-asws said to Al-Hassan-asws: ‘Give a garment to your-asws uncle’. So, he-asws gave him a shirt from his-asws shirt, and a robe from his-asws robes. When the dinner was presented, it was bread and salt. Aqeel said, ‘Isn’t there anything except what I see? ’ He-asws said: ‘Or isn’t this from the Bounties of Allah-azwj? And for Him-azwj is the abundant Praise’. He said, ‘Give me what I can pay off my debts with and hasten my rest until I depart from you-asws! ’ He-asws said: ‘How much is your debt, O Aba Yazeed? ’ He said, ‘One hundred thousand Dirhams’. He-asws said: ‘No, by Allah-azwj! It is not in my possession, nor do I-asws own it, but be patient until my-asws wages come, then I-asws shall console you, and had it not been that there is no escape from giving something to my-asws dependants, I-asws would give you all of it’. Aqeel said, ‘The public treasury is in your hand and you-asws can give me an advance to your wages. He-asws said: ‘You and I-asws are not except at the status of a man from the Muslims’. And they were both talking above the government building overlooking upon the stalls of the people of the market. Ali-asws said to him: ‘If you are refusing what I-asws am saying, O Abu Yazeed, then come down to one of these stalls and I-asws break its lock and take
