Sovaid Ibne Ghofleh says: When people pledged allegiance with Imam Ali to become a caliph, I went to the Imam who was sitting on a small mat while there was nothing else in his room. I said: O Amiralmomenin! Now the public fund is in your hand and you have nothing at home, why don’t you meet your needs by withdrawing from public fund? The Imam said: “O son of Ghofleh! A wise man never fills with many fitting a house from which he must depart. For us, there is a haven to which we have sent the best goods and we will soon go there.”
