كَانَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُنْكَدِرِ يَقُولُ لِأَبِي يَا أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا لَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ لَوْ أَخَذْتَ دِينَاراً وَ الصَّرْفُ بِثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ فَدُرْتَ الْمَدِينَةَ عَلَى أَنْ تَجِدَ مَنْ يُعْطِيكَ عِشْرِينَ مَا وَجَدْتَهُ وَ مَا هَذَا إِلَّا فِرَاراً وَ كَانَ أَبِي يَقُولُ صَدَقْتَ وَ اللَّهِ وَ لَكِنَّهُ فِرَارٌ مِنْ بَاطِلٍ إِلَى حَقٍّ.

10. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir would say to my father, ‘O abu Ja‘far, Allah has granted you kindness, by Allah, we know, if you take a dinar and the rate is eighteen and you go around the whole of al-Madinah to find one who would give you twenty, you will not find and this is no more than running away. My father would say, ‘You are right, by Allah, however, it is running away from falsehood to the truth . 555
