And it was so that whenever he -asws stood in his -asws Salat, his -asws colour would be overcome by another colour, and his -asws standing in his -asws Salat was standing of the humble slave in front of the Majestic King. His -asws limbs would tremble from the fear of Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic, and he -asws would pray the farewell Salat viewing that he -asws will not be praying after it, ever. And one day he -asws was praying Salat, and the cloak fell off from one of his -asws shoulders.
He -asws did not even it until he -asws was free from his -asws Salat. One of his -asws companions asked him -asws about that. He -asws said: ‘Woe be unto you! Don’t you know in front of Whom I -asws was? The servant, it will not be Accepted from his Salat except what he is attentive upon it by his heart, from it’. The man said, ‘We are destroyed!’ He -asws said: ‘Never! Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic would be Completing that with the optional Salats’.
And he -asws would go out during the dark night and carry the sack upon his -asws back, and in it would be the seed and the Dinars and the Dirhams, and sometimes he -asws would carry the good, or the firewood, until he -asws would come to a door and knock it. Then he -asws would give to the one who comes out to him -asws . And he -asws used to cover his -asws face when giving to a poor lest he recognises him -asws .
When he -asws passed away, they lost that, then they knew it was Ali -asws Bin Al-Husayn -asws . When he -asws was placed to the washers, they looked at his -asws back, and upon him -asws were like the marks of the camels, due to what he -asws was carrying upon his -asws back to the houses of the poor and the destitute(s). And one day he -asws went out, and upon him -asws was a woollen coat. A beggar presented to him -asws and attached with his -asws coat. So he -asws continued and left it.
And he -asws would buy the woollen (clothing) during the winter and sell it in the summer and give in charity with its price. And he -asws had looked at a group of people on the day of Arafaat begging the people. He -asws said: ‘Woe be unto you all! Is it other than Allah -azwj you are asking in the like of this day? It is wished for during this day regarding the pregnancies that (they children) become fortunate’. And he -asws would refuse to eat with his -asws mother -as .
