Hadith.3407 - It is narrated: When Abdullah ibn al-Hasan was on his deathbed, his creditors gathered around him and demanded repayment of their debts. He replied: "I do not have anything to give you, but accept as your guarantor whomever you wish from my brother and my cousins- Imam Ali ibn al-Husayn (as) or Abdullah ibn Ja'far." The creditors said: "As for Abdullah ibn Ja'far, he is wealthy but delays payments, and as for Imam Ali ibn al-Husayn (as), he has no wealth, but he is truthful, and he is the most beloved of the two to us." So, they sent for Imam Ali ibn al-Husayn (as) and informed him of the situation. Imam (as) said: "I will guarantee your payment until the harvest comes," though he did not have any harvest. The creditors agreed, and he guaranteed the payment. When the harvest came, Allah (swt) Almighty provided him with the means, and he repaid the debts.
