عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بُنْدَارَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ مَرَّ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ فَرَأَى أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ عَلَيْهِ ثِيَابٌ كَثِيرَةُ الْقِيمَةِ حِسَانٌ فَقَالَ وَ اللَّهِ لآَتِيَنَّهُ وَ لَأُوَبِّخَنَّهُ فَدَنَا مِنْهُ فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ مَا لَبِسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) مِثْلَ هَذَا اللِّبَاسِ وَ لَا عَلِيٌّ ( عليه السلام ) وَ لَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ آبَائِكَ Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Bundar, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Muhammad Bin Ali, raising it, said, ‘Sufyan Al-Sowry passed by in the Sacred Masjid, so he saw Abu Abdullah -asws and upon him ‑asws were a lot of clothes of goodly price.
He said, ‘By Allah -azwj ! I will go to him -asws and rebuke him -asws ’. Upon approaching him -asws , he said, ‘O son -asws of Rasool-Allah -saww ! Rasool-Allah -saww did not wear the likes of these clothes, nor did Ali -asws , nor did anyone (else) from your -asws forefathers’.
فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فِي زَمَانِ قَتْرٍ مُقْتِرٍ وَ كَانَ يَأْخُذُ لِقَتْرِهِ وَ اقْتِدَارِهِ وَ إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَرْخَتْ عَزَالِيَهَا فَأَحَقُّ أَهْلِهَا بِهَا أَبْرَارُهَا ثُمَّ تَلَا قُلْ مَنْ حَرَّمَ زِينَةَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي أَخْرَجَ لِعِبادِهِ وَ الطَّيِّباتِ مِنَ الرِّزْقِ وَ نَحْنُ أَحَقُّ مَنْ أَخَذَ مِنْهَا مَا أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ غَيْرَ أَنِّي يَا ثَوْرِيُّ مَا تَرَى عَلَيَّ مِنْ ثَوْبٍ إِنَّمَا أَلْبَسُهُ لِلنَّاسِ Abu Abdullah -asws said to him: ‘Rasool-Allah -saww was in an era of scarcity and financial straitness, and he -saww used to take in accordance with his -saww straitness and his -saww ability, and the world after that has long gone past it, thus the most deserving of its people with it are its righteous ones’.
