It is reported that once, a beggar came to Hazrat Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) and asked for something. Hazrat Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) turned to one of his two sons, either Hazrat Hasan or Hazrat Husain (radhiyallahu \u2018anhuma), and said to him, \u201cGo to your mother and tell her that I said, \u2018I had kept six dirhams by you, so give me one dirham from the six (so that I may give it to the beggar).\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
The son went to his mother, Hazrat Faatimah (radhiyallahu \u2018anha), and thereafter returned with the following message. He said to his father, \u201cMy mother mentioned that you had kept the six dirhams by her for purchasing flour.\u201d Hearing this, Hazrat Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) said, \u201cA servant\u2019s imaan will not be true and perfect until he has more reliance on that which is in the hand of Allah Ta\u2018ala compared to what a servant possesses (i.e. a servant should place his reliance upon Allah Ta\u2018ala and His promises that by spending in charity, he will be blessed with barakah for the good deed and he should not hold back his wealth out of fear of poverty).\u201d<\/p>\n
Hazrat Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) then said to his son, \u201cGo to your mother, and tell her to give me all the six dirhams (so that I may give it to the beggar).\u201d He thus went to his mother and then returned with the six dirhams which Hazrat Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) handed over to the beggar.<\/p>\n
Not long thereafter, a man passed by Hazrat Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) with a camel which he was selling. Hazrat Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) asked him, \u201cHow much are you selling the camel for?\u201d The man replied, \u201cI am selling it for one hundred and forty dirhams.\u201d Hazrat Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) then purchased the camel from him. After purchasing the camel, Hazrat Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) said, \u201cTie the camel here, and we will pay you later.\u201d The man thus tied the camel and departed.<\/p>\n
Thereafter, another man passed by, and on seeing the camel, he asked, \u201cWho does this camel belong to?\u201d Hazrat Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) replied, \u201cIt belongs to me.\u201d The man asked, \u201cAre you selling it?\u201d When Hazrat Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) replied that he was selling it, the man asked, \u201cHow much are you selling it for?\u201d Hazrat Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) responded, \u201cI am selling it for two hundred dirhams.\u201d The man was satisfied with the price and thus accepted the offer and concluded the sale saying, \u201cI have bought it from you.\u201d He then handed the two hundred dirhams to Hazrat Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu), took his camel and departed.<\/p>\n
Hazrat Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) then went to the man who had sold him the camel and paid him the one hundred and forty dirhams which he owed him. Thereafter, he returned home to his respected wife, Hazrat Faatimah (radhiyallahu \u2018anha), with the sixty dirhams that he had made as profit (and gave it to her).<\/p>\n
When Hazrat Faatimah (radhiyallahu \u2018anha) saw the sixty dirhams, she asked him, \u201cWhat is this? Where did this money come from?\u201d Hazrat Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) replied, \u201cThis is what Allah Ta\u2018ala has promised us, through the following words revealed upon the blessed tongue of Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam).\u201d<\/p>\n
Hazrat Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) then recited the following verse of the Qur\u2019aan Majeed:<\/p>\n
\u0645\u064e\u0646\u06e1 \u062c\u064e\u0627\u0653\u0621\u064e \u0628\u0650\u0627\u0644\u06e1\u062d\u064e\u0633\u064e\u0646\u064e\u06c3\u0650 \u0641\u064e\u0644\u064e\u06c1\u0657 \u0639\u064e\u0634\u06e1\u0631\u064f \u0627\u064e\u0645\u06e1\u062b\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0650\u06c1\u064e\u0627<\/p>\n
The one who brings a good deed, he will receive <\/em> ten times the reward (for the deed he had done) (Surah An\u2019aam v. 160)<\/em><\/p>\n In other words, Hazrat Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) explained to Hazrat Faatimah (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) that when he spent six dirhams in sadaqah, Allah Ta\u2018ala blessed him with a reward ten times more then what he had spent, and hence he now had sixty dirhams in place of the six dirhams which he gave to the beggar.<\/p>\n (Hayaat-us-Sahaabah 2\/191)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It is reported that once, a beggar came to Hazrat Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) and asked for something.
