Piety Of Amir’ul-Mu’minin (a.s) – 2

Ibn Athir has written in Tarikh Kamil that Harun Ibn Antara narrates from his father that he went to Amir’ul-Mu’minin (a.s) to obtain his share of poor people. It was a cold season and Ali (a.s) was shivering as he had only an old cloth thrown over himself. The narrator said to him, “The Almighty Allah has appointed a share for you in the Public Treasury. Why have you not taken anything for yourself?” He replied, “By Allah, I do not like anything of your property. By Allah, this is my own quilt that I had brought with me from Medina.” Reference :Akhlaq al-A’imma, Morals & Manners of the Holy Imams
