46. Sahl ibn Ziyad has narrated from Yahya ibn al-Mubarak from Ibrahim ibn Salih from a man from al-Ja’fariy who has said the following: “In al-Madinah there was a man with us, called abu al-Qamqa’m who was unfortunate. He went to abu al-Hassan (a.s.), and complained before him against his condition and informed him (the Imam) that wherever he goes for something he fails. Abu al-Hassan (a.s.), said, ‘In your last prayer in the morning, say, ‘Free of all defect is Allah, most Great. I ask forgiveness from Allah and plead before Him for help through His generosity’, ten times.’ Abu Qamqa’m has said, ‘I kept doing it and after very little time a people from village came to me and told me that a man from my people has died and there no heir is found for him except me. I went with them and received his legacy which made me rich.’”

47. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from ibn Mahbub from Sa‘dan from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘You must not deny loaning yeast for bread-making and taking fire to start a fire; because it attracts sustenance to the family along with high moral manners.’”

48. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from his father from those who narrated to him from ‘Amr ibn abu al-Miqdam from al-Harith ibn Hadirah al-Azdiy who has said the following: “A man during the time of ’Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.), had found a treasure and my father bought it from him for three hundred dirham and one hundred sheep followed by their young; and my mother blamed him for it, saying, ‘You have bought it for three hundred sheep; one hundred of their young, one hundred sheep and one hundred in their womb.’ My father regretted and went to ask for a reduced price. He refused and said, ‘Take from me ten sheep, take from me twenty sheep’ and made him tired. My father then took the treasure and made a price for one thousand sheep from it. The other man came back and said, ‘Take your sheep back and give me whatever you like.’ But he refused. He tried until he was exhausted and said, ‘I can harm you.’ He complained before ’Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.), against my father. When my father told his side of the story before ’Amir al- Mu’minin (a.s.), he (the Imam) said to the owner of treasure, ‘Pay one-fifth of what you have received because it is on you as the finder of the treasure and there is nothing on him because he has taken the price of his sheep.’”
