11ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فَقَالَ إِنِّي شَيْخٌ كَثِيرُ الْعِيَالِ ضَعِيفُ الرُّكْنِ قَلِيلُ الشَّيْءِ فَهَلْ مِنْ مَعُونَةٍ عَلَى زَمَانِي فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ وَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ أَصْحَابُهُ وَقَالَ قَدْ أَسْمَعَنَا الْقَوْلَ وَأَسْمَعَكُمْ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ كُنْتُ مِثْلَكَ بِالأَمْسِ فَذَهَبَ بِهِ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ فَأَعْطَاهُ مِرْوَداً مِنْ تِبْرٍ وَكَانُوا يَتَبَايَعُونَ بِالتِّبْرِ وَهُوَ الذَّهَبُ وَالْفِضَّةُ فَقَالَ الشَّيْخُ هَذَا كُلُّهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ الشَّيْخُ أَقْبَلُ تِبْرَكَ فَإِنِّي لَسْتُ بِجِنِّيٍّ وَلا إِنْسِيٍّ وَلَكِنِّي رَسُولٌ مِنَ الله لأَبْلُوَكَ فَوَجَدْتُكَ شَاكِراً فَجَزَاكَ الله خَيْراً.
11. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from a man who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that once a man came to the Holy Prophet, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, and said, ‘I am an old man with a large family to feed, of weak health and poor. Is there any help to overcome my difficulties?’ The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, looked to his companions and his companions looked at him. He said, ‘He made us and you to hear his words.’ A man then stood up and said, ‘Yesterday I was like you.’ He then took him to his house and gave him a bar of gold that they used instead of currency for buying and selling. The old man then asked, ‘Is all this for me?’ He said, ‘Yes, all of it is for you.’ The old man said, ‘I accept your bar of gold, but I am not a Jinny or a human being. I am a messenger of Allah to test you. I have found you a thankful person. May Allah grant you good reward.’”
