14- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ إِنَّ رَجُلا أَتَى أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فَقَالَ إِنِّي لا أُحْسِنُ أَنْ أَعْمَلَ عَمَلا بِيَدِي وَلا أُحْسِنُ أَنْ أَتَّجِرَ وَأَنَا مُحَارَفٌ مُحْتَاجٌ فَقَالَ اعْمَلْ فَاحْمِلْ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ وَاسْتَغْنِ عَنِ النَّاسِ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) قَدْ حَمَلَ حَجَراً عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ فَوَضَعَهُ فِي حَائِطٍ لَهُ مِنْ حِيطَانِهِ وَإِنَّ الْحَجَرَ لَفِي مَكَانِهِ وَلا يُدْرَى كَمْ عُمْقُهُ إِلا أَنَّهُ ثَمَّ [بِمُعْجِزَتِهِ].
14. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ‘Umar ibn ‘Udhaynah from Zurarah who has said the following: “Once a man came to abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), and said, ‘I am not good in working with my hands and I am not good in doing business, thus I am deprived and needy.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘You must work and carry it on your head and set yourself free from asking people for help. The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, carried a stone on his shoulder to place it in a certain place of his walls. The stone is still in its place, and it is not known how large it is, but it is there [by his miracle]”’
