The Sufficient (Vol 8) · Hadith 124 (#Ḥadīth #1)

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْهَيْثَمِ بْنِ أَبِي مَسْرُوقٍ النَّهْدِيِّ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِلرِّضَا (عليه السلام) إِنَّ النَّاسَ رَوَوْا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) كَانَ إِذَا أَخَذَ فِي طَرِيقٍ رَجَعَ فِي غَيْرِهِ فَهَكَذَا كَانَ يَفْعَلُ قَالَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ فَأَنَا أَفْعَلُهُ كَثِيراً فَافْعَلْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي أَمَا إِنَّهُ أَرْزَقُ لَكَ.

124. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Al-Haysam Bin Abu Masrouq Al-Nahdy, from Musa Bin Umar Bin Bazi’e who said: ‘I said to Al-Ridha that, ‘The people are reporting that the Rasool Allah ﷺ, whenever he ﷺ used to take to a road, would return via another road. So this is what he ﷺ used to do’. He said: ‘Yes, as I do so quite frequently, so do it’. Then he said to me: ‘But rather, it is better for your sustenance’.
