٣- عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بُنْدَارَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الثَّقَفِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُعَلَّى عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قِيلَ لَهُ مَا بَالُ أَصْحَابِ عِيسَى (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) كَانُوا يَمْشُونَ عَلَى الْمَاءِ وَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ فِي أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) قَالَ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَ عِيسَى (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) كُفُوا الْمَعَاشَ وَإِنَّ هَؤُلاءِ ابْتُلُوا بِالْمَعَاشِ.
3. Ali ibn Muhammad Bandar has narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from Ibrahim ibn Muhammad al-Thaqafiy from Ali ibn Mu‘alla’ from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad in a marfu’ manner who has said the following: “Once it was asked of abu ‘Abd Allah , ‘How is it that disciples of Jesus could walk on water and the companions of Muhammad, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, do not have such ability? Abu ‘Abd Allah , replied, ‘The disciples of Jesus were self-sufficient financially and these people have trouble with their financial matters.’”
