Hadith 464
۞
Hadith.3581 - It is narrated from Muhammad ibn Udhafir, from his father, who said
Abu Abdullah (as), handed me seven hundred dinars and said:
"O 'Udhafir, invest it in something."
Imam (as) then added: "I am not doing this out of greed, but I wish for Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, to see me seeking His bounties."
Udhafir said: I earned a profit of one hundred dinars from it. So, while performing Tawaf, I said to him: "May I be your ransom! Allah (swt), the Exalted, has grant a profit of one hundred dinars in it."
Imam (as) replied: "Add it to my capital."
3581 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُذَافِرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
دَفَعَ إِلَيَّ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ سَبْعَمِائَةِ دِينَارٍ وَ قَالَ "يَا عُذَافِرُ اِصْرِفْهَا فِي شَيْءٍ مَا" وَ قَالَ "مَا أَفْعَلُ هَذَا عَلَى شَرَهٍ مِنِّي وَ لَكِنِّي أَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ يَرَانِيَ اَللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى مُتَعَرِّضاً لِفَوَائِدِهِ" قَالَ عُذَافِرٌ فَرَبِحْتُ فِيهَا مِائَةَ دِينَارٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فِي اَلطَّوَافِ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ قَدْ رَزَقَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِيهَا مِائَةَ دِينَارٍ قَالَ "أَثْبِتْهَا فِي رَأْسِ مَالِي".
