قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَدْ عَرَفْتَ حَالِي وَ سَعَةَ يَدِي وَ تَوَسُّعِي عَلَى إِخْوَانِي فَأَصْحَبُ النَّفَرَ مِنْهُمْ فِي طَرِيقِ مَكَّةَ فَأَتَوَسَّعُ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالَ لَا تَفْعَلْ يَا شِهَابُ إِنْ بَسَطْتَ وَ بَسَطُوا أَجْحَفْتَ بِهِمْ وَ إِنْ أَمْسَكُوا أَذْلَلْتَهُمْ فَاصْحَبْ نُظَرَاءَكَ.
English translationMuhammad Sarwar
7. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from al-Hassan ibn al-Husayn al-Lu’lu’iy from Muhammad ibn Sinan from Hudhayfah ibn Mansur from Shihab ibn ‘Abd Rabbihi who has said the following: “I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), ‘You are aware of my affluent condition and my extending helping hand toward my brothers (in belief). Should I accompany certain individuals from among them during my journey to Makkah and extend a helpful hand toward them?’ He (the Imam) replied, ’You must not do so, O Shihab. If you do so, they will also do it, you overburden them, and if they did not do so, you have humiliated them. Therefore, accompany people like yourself.”’
