8. Ali ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allah has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from more than one narrator from Ali ibn Asbat from al-Hassan ibn al-Jahm who has said the following: “Abu al-Hassan , once in response to the words of Isma‘il ibn Muhammad that his son had given charity on his behalf and that he is a man, said this. ‘Ask him to give charity, even if it is only a small piece of bread.’ The Imam then said that abu Ja‘far , has said, ‘A man in banu Israel had a son whom he loved a great deal. In his dream, he was told, “One night, after going to bed with his wife, your son will die.” His father helped him to get married and when that night came, he was concerned about his dream. In the morning he found his son safe and alive. He went to him and asked, “Son, did you do any good deed last night?” He replied, “No, except that a beggar came to the door last night. They had spared some food for me, and I gave it to the beggar.” He then said, “Because of this, (Allah) has repelled misfortune from you.””’
