 ١٥ـ إِسْحَاقُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ كَانَ لِي فَرَسٌ وَكُنْتُ بِهِ مُعْجَباً أُكْثِرُ ذِكْرَهُ فِي الْمَحَالِّ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ يَوْماً فَقَالَ لِي مَا فَعَلَ فَرَسُكَ فَقُلْتُ هُوَ عِنْدِي وَهُوَ ذَا هُوَ عَلَى بَابِكَ وَعَنْهُ نَزَلْتُ فَقَالَ لِيَ اسْتَبْدِلْ بِهِ قَبْلَ الْمَسَاءِ إِنْ قَدَرْتَ عَلَى مُشْتَرِي وَلا تُؤَخِّرْ ذَلِكَ وَدَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا دَاخِلٌ وَانْقَطَعَ الْكَلامُ فَقُمْتُ مُتَفَكِّراً وَمَضَيْتُ إِلَى مَنْزِلِي فَأَخْبَرْتُ أَخِي الْخَبَرَ فَقَالَ مَا أَدْرِي مَا أَقُولُ فِي هَذَا وَشَحَحْتُ بِهِ وَنَفِسْتُ عَلَى النَّاسِ بِبَيْعِهِ وَأَمْسَيْنَا فَأَتَانَا السَّائِسُ وَقَدْ صَلَّيْنَا الْعَتَمَةَ فَقَالَ يَا مَوْلايَ نَفَقَ فَرَسُكَ فَاغْتَمَمْتُ وَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ عَنَى هَذَا بِذَلِكَ الْقَوْلِ قَالَ ثُمَّ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ وَأَنَا أَقُولُ فِي نَفْسِي لَيْتَهُ أَخْلَفَ عَلَيَّ دَابَّةً إِذْ كُنْتُ اغْتَمَمْتُ بِقَوْلِهِ فَلَمَّا جَلَسْتُ قَالَ نَعَمْ نُخْلِفُ دَابَّةً عَلَيْكَ يَا غُلامُ أَعْطِهِ بِرْذَوْنِيَ الْكُمَيْتَ هَذَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ فَرَسِكَ وَأَوْطَأُ وَأَطْوَلُ عُمُراً.
 15. Ishaq has said that narrated to me Ali ibn Zayd ibn Ali ibn al-Husayn ibn Ali  the following. “I had a horse that I liked very much and I would admire it often in gatherings. One day I went to see abu Muhammad  and he said, “What has your horse done?” I said, “I still have it and it is in front of your. I just dismounted it.” He said, “Change it before this evening if you can if you would find a buyer and do not delay.” Someone came in and our conversation discontinued. I then left anxiously for home and informed my brother about it and he said, “I do not know what to say about it.” I felt covetous about it procrastinated in offering for sale until it was evening we had just prayed the late evening prayer that the horse trainer came in saying, “My master your horse has died.” I became sad and realized that this was abu Muhammad  meant. After several day I went to see abu Muhammad  and I was saying to myself, “I wish he would replace my horse with another one. It was his words that made me so sad.” When I sat down he said, “Yes, we will replace your horse. Young man, give to him my dark brown nag which better than your horse to ride and will live longer.”
