The answer came to what I had sent...

The answer came to what I had sent, articulating that I was holding one thousand dinārs and had sent him only two hundred dinārs, because I had doubts and the rest of his money was still with me. It was as he had said. He had added, ‘If you want to transact through anyone, you must refer to Abu al-Husain al-Asadi in Ray.’” I asked, “Was it as he had written to you?” He said, “Yes. I had sent two hundred dinārs, because I had doubts.

Then Allah removed my doubts.” Hājiz died after two or three days. I went and told him about his death. He became much sorrowful. I said to him, “Grieve not. It was in his letter to you. His informing that the money was a thousand dinārs and then ordering you to act through al-Asadi was because he knew Hājiz would die.” 6- Al-Kharā’ij wa al-Jarā’ih: Muhammad Ibn al-Husain says, al-Tamīmī narrated to me from a man from Astarabad, saying, I went to al-‘Askar with thirty dinārs in an enfolder.

One of these coins was a Syrian dinār. I reached the gate and as I was sitting there, a bondmaid or a page, which I don’t clearly remember, came out and said, “Give me what you have brought.” I said, “I don’t have anything.” The person returned and then came back again and said, “You have thirty dinārs in a green enfolder, one of which is a Syrian dinār. There is also a ring.” I had forgotten about the ring. I delivered them to him and took the ring.

7- Al-Kharā’ij wa al-Jarā’ih: It has been narrated from Marūr al-Tabbākh that he said, I wrote to al-Hasan Ibn Rāshid about a severity I was experiencing at my home. I did not find him at his house and came back. I entered the city of Abu Ja‘far. As I was walking in the courtyard, a man came across me whom I had not seen. He held my hand and slipped a white sac into it.

I looked; there was a writing on it, “Twelve dinārs.” There was a writing on the sac that read, “Masrūr al-Tabbākh.” قد جعلتها للناحية بخمسمائة دينار، ولا والله ما نطقت بذلك ولا قلت، فكتب (ع) إلى محمد بن جعفر: اقبض الحوانيت من محمد بن هارون بخمسمائة دينار التي لنا عليه.
