Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Salih ibn abu Hammad from Muhammad ibn Sinan from abu Ja’far al-Ahwal who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), once asked me, ‘How do you make a living?’ I replied, ‘I have two slaves and two camels.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘You must not speak about it to your brothers (in belief); if they do not harm, they do not benefit you either.’” شهور - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (9/417))
