13. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ja‘far ibn Muhammad al-Astdariy from ibn al-Qaddah who has said the following
“Once abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), was leaning against me or he said, ‘against my father’ when ‘Abbad ibn Kathir al-Basriy met him (the Imam) and he (the Imam) had a dress of fabrics made in Marw (name of place) of fine quality. He (‘Abbad) said, ‘O abu ‘Abd Allah, you are of the family of the Holy Prophet, and your father was (so pious). What is this dress, made in Marw, on you? I wish you dressed in a lower quality dress.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), said to him, ‘Woe on you, O ‘Abbad! Who has made unlawful the beautiful things that Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has brought out for His servants and the very fine kinds of means of sustenance. When Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, grants bounties on His servant He loves to see it on him and it is not harmful. Woe on you, O ‘Abbad, I am a piece of the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, do not trouble me.’ ‘Abbad wore two pieces of clothes made in Qitr (name of a place).”’
عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ الْقَدَّاحِ قَالَ
كَانَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مُتَّكِئاً عَلَيَّ أَوْ قَالَ عَلَى أَبِي فَلَقِيَهُ عَبَّادُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ وَ عَلَيْهِ ثِيَابٌ مَرْوِيَّةٌ حِسَانٌ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّكَ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ كَانَ أَبُوكَ وَ كَانَ فَمَا هَذِهِ الثِّيَابُ الْمَرْوِيَّةُ عَلَيْكَ فَلَوْ لَبِسْتَ دُونَ هَذِهِ الثِّيَابِ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَيْلَكَ يَا عَبَّادُ مَنْ حَرَّمَ زِينَةَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي أَخْرَجَ لِعِبَادِهِ وَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ مِنَ الرِّزْقِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِذَا أَنْعَمَ عَلَى عَبْدِهِ نِعْمَةً أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَرَاهَا عَلَيْهِ لَيْسَ بِهَا بَأْسٌ وَيْلَكَ يَا عَبَّادُ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَضْعَةٌ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَلَا تُؤْذِنِي وَ كَانَ عَبَّادٌ يَلْبَسُ ثَوْبَيْنِ قِطْرِيَّيْنِ .
