The Sufficient (Vol 6) · Hadith 1022 (#Ḥadīth #4)

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَدِيدٍ عَنْ مُرَازِمِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ عَمَّنْ رَفَعَهُ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ إِنَّ حَارِثاً الْأَعْوَرَ أَتَى أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) وَ قَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أُحِبُّ أَنْ تُكْرِمَنِي بِأَنْ تَأْكُلَ عِنْدِي فَقَالَ لَهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) عَلَى أَنْ لَا تَتَكَلَّفَ لِي شَيْئاً وَ دَخَلَ فَأَتَاهُ الْحَارِثُ بِكِسْرَةٍ فَجَعَلَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) يَأْكُلُ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْحَارِثُ إِنَّ مَعِي دَرَاهِمَ وَ أَظْهَرَهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ فِي كُمِّهِ فَإِنْ أَذِنْتَ لِي اشْتَرَيْتُ لَكَ شَيْئاً غَيْرَهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) هَذِهِ مِمَّا فِي بَيْتِكَ .

4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn Hadid from Murazim ibn Hakim from the one who has narrated it in a marfu‘ manner saying the following: “Harith al-A‘war once came to ’Amir al-Mu’minin , and said, ‘O ’Amir al- Mu’minin, I wish you grant me the honor of having food with me. ’Amir al-Mu’minin , said, ‘I accept your invitation, provided, that you do not overburden yourself by acting formally’. He (the Imam) went to his house. Harith brought a piece of bread and ’Amir al-Mu’minin began to eat. Al-Harith said, ‘I have a few dirham’ and he showed them. They were in his sleeves. ‘If you give permission I like to buy something for you besides these pieces of bread.’ ’Amir al- Mu’minin , said, ‘This is what is in your house (so it is sufficient).”’
