Piety Of Imam Zainul Abideen (a.s) – 2

Abdullah Damishqi says, “One day I went to Imam Zainul Abideen (a.s) and found him patching his cloak. I had come with 5000 Dirhams as Khums money and I presented it to the Imam and said, ‘Master, it is my desire that you take some money from this amount and buy yourself a new cloak, your cloak has become very old.’ The Imam said, ‘Keep the money here and announce in Medina that whoever is in need may come to me in the Prophets’ mosque.’ I made the announcement according to his directions and very soon people converged in hordes. The Imam distributed all the money and I was left astounded.” Reference :Akhlaq al-A’imma, Morals & Manners of the Holy Imams
