Hadith record

2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from the one whom he has mentioned from al- Tayyar who has said the following: ‘Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), once asked me, ‘What do you manage? What do you make?’ I replied, ‘I am not in anything.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Find a house, (a facility) broom its yards, sprinkle water around, spread the merchandise on it. In doing this you have done what should have been done.’ I (the narrator) followed his instruction and found sustenance.’”
