٢- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ السِّنْدِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ عُمَارَةَ عَنْ سَدِيرٍ الصَّيْرَفِيِّ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي عَنِ الْحَسَنِ الْبَصْرِيِّ فَإِنْ كَانَ حَقّاً فَإِنَّا للهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ قَالَ وَمَا هُوَ قُلْتُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ الْحَسَنَ الْبَصْرِيَّ كَانَ يَقُولُ لَوْ غَلَى دِمَاغُهُ مِنْ حَرِّ الشَّمْسِ مَا اسْتَظَلَّ بِحَائِطِ صَيْرَفِيٍّ وَلَوْ تَفَرَّثَ كَبِدُهُ عَطَشاً لَمْ يَسْتَسْقِ مِنْ دَارِ صَيْرَفِيٍّ مَاءً وَهُوَ عَمَلِي وَتِجَارَتِي وَفِيهِ نَبَتَ لَحْمِي وَدَمِي وَمِنْهُ حَجِّي وَعُمْرَتِي فَجَلَسَ ثُمَّ قَالَ كَذَبَ الْحَسَنُ خُذْ سَوَاءً وَأَعْطِ سَوَاءً فَإِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلاةُ فَدَعْ مَا بِيَدِكَ وَانْهَضْ إِلَى الصَّلاةِ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ أَصْحَابَ الْكَهْفِ كَانُوا صَيَارِفَةً.
2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Salih ibn al-Sindiy from Ja’far ibn Bashir from Khalid ibn ‘ Urn a rah from Sadir al- Sayrafiy who has said the following: “I once said to abu Ja‘far , ‘A Hadith has reached me from al-Hassan al-Basriy. If it is a true Hadith then, ‘We are for Allah and to Him we return.’ He (the Imam) asked, ‘What does it say?’ ‘I am told that al-Hassan al-Basriy would say that even if his brain comes to a boiling point due to the hot sun, he will not seek shelter of the shadow of a wall that belongs to a money changer. Even if his liver cracks down because of thirst he will not use the water that comes from the house of a money changer.’ This is my business and profession. With this business my flesh and blood have grown. With this business I have performed Hajj and ‘Umrah.’ He (the Imam) sat straight and said, ‘Al-Hassan has spoken a lie. Take with fairness and give with fairness. When it is time for Salat (prayer), stop doing business and rise for Salat (prayer). Did you know that people of the cave were Say ar if ah (money exchangers)?”’
