٣- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ جَمِيعاً عَنْ حَنَانِ بْنِ سَدِيرٍ قَالَ كَانَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مَعَنَا فِي الْحَيِّ وَلَهَا جَارِيَةٌ نَائِحَةٌ فَجَاءَتْ إِلَى أَبِي فَقَالَتْ يَا عَمِّ أَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مَعِيشَتِي مِنَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ثُمَّ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْجَارِيَةِ النَّائِحَةِ وَقَدْ أَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ تَسْأَلَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَإِنْ كَانَ حَلالا وَإِلا بِعْتُهَا وَأَكَلْتُ مِنْ ثَمَنِهَا حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ اللهُ بِالْفَرَجِ فَقَالَ لَهَا أَبِي وَاللهِ إِنِّي لأعْظِمُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ عَنْ هَذِهِ الْمَسْأَلَةِ قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا عَلَيْهِ أَخْبَرْتُهُ أَنَا بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) أَتُشَارِطُ قُلْتُ وَاللهِ مَا أَدْرِي تُشَارِطُ أَمْ لا فَقَالَ قُلْ لَهَا لا تُشَارِطُ وَتَقْبَلُ مَا أُعْطِيَتْ‏.
3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isma’il all from Hanan ibn Sadir who has said the following: “In our neighborhood there was a woman who had a slave-girl who sang eulogies. She came to my father and said, ‘O Uncle, you know about my means of living from Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, and then it is from this slave-girl’s singing eulogies. I like if you ask abu ‘Abd Allah , for me about it if it is lawful; otherwise, I will sell her and use the funds from selling her until Allah opens up a door for me.’ My father said to her, ‘I consider abu ‘Abd Allah , greatly exalted and cannot ask such things from him.’ He (the narrator) has said that when we visited him (the Imam) I informed him (the Imam) about it and abu ‘Abd Allah , asked, ‘Does she set a condition?’ I replied, ‘By Allah, I do not know if she does or does not do.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Tell her not to set up a condition for payment but accept whatever is given to you.’”
