Contentment and Generosity

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Muhammad ibn `Abdullah Bakri has reported: I went to Medina to take a loan but no one offered me any. So I said to myself, “I would better go to Imam Musa and tell him about my grievances.” Hence, I went to his plantation which stood on the heights of the city. The Imam came to me along with his servant. He had a basket in his hand with pieces of meat which I shared with him and then he asked about my needs. I told him the story and we set out for his house. He went inside and after a few seconds, he came out giving me a purse of three hundred Dinars. Being satisfied, I mounted the mule and left Medina.Kitab al-Irshad: 232/2. )  Reference: Ahlalbayt TheCelestial Beings On The Earth
