Imam Ali Naqi (as) was brought to al-Mutawakkil while he drunk at the table of wine. When he saw Imam al-Hadi (a.s.), he offered him a glass of wine, but Imam al-Hadi (a.s.) shouted at him, ‘By Allah, it has never cryhe recited the following verses that changed the ecstasy of al-Mutawakkil into sorrow and weeping, “They were on the tops of mountains,
guarded by strong, brave men, but those tops sufficed them not. After glory, they were taken down from their positions, and put into holes. How bad abode they dwelt in! A crier called them after been buried: Where are the thrones, crowns, and treasures? Where are the faces that were at ease and luxury, that curtains and screens were put before them? The grave showed those faces where worms were fighting on them. How long they ate and drank! But after that long eating, they were eaten!”
Al-Mutawakkil was shaken and intoxication flew from his head. He began terribly crying. The attendants in the meeting feared for Imam al-Hadi (a.s.) that al-Mutawakkil might assault him and they thought that al-Mutawakkil would revenge on him.
Al-Mutawakkil ordered his men to take the glasses of wine away from the meeting. He turned to the pure Imam (a.s.) and said to him reverently, ‘O Abul Hasan, are you in debt?’
Imam al-Hadi (a.s.) said, ‘Yes, four thousand dinars.’
Al-Mutawakkil ordered four thousand dinars to be given to Imam al-Hadi (a.s.). He returned him back to his house with respect and honor. ( Murooj ath-Thahab, vol.4 p.44-45. )
