7. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Muhammad al-Asadi from Salim ibn Mukram from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “At one time, among the companions of the Messenger of Allah, the financial conditions of one man became very difficult and his wife suggested that he see the Messenger of Allah about it. He went to the Holy Prophet and, when the Holy Prophet saw him, he said, ‘Whoever asks us for help, we help, but whoever appears to be rich when, in fact, he is not so, Allah will make him rich. ’ The man thought the Holy Prophet had addressed him only. He returned to his wife and told her the story. She said, ‘The Messenger of Allah is only a man. Let him know what you need.’ He went back and, when the Messenger of Allah saw him, he said, ‘Whoever asks us for help we help but whoever appears to be rich when, in fact, he is not so, Allah will make him rich. ’ This was repeated with that man three times. Thereafter, he borrowed a pick and went to the mountains, climbed it and cut down a certain amount of firewood. He climbed down and sold the firewood for half a mud (a certain measure) of flour, came home and used it for food. The next day he did the same thing and saved a little on the side until he was able to buy a pick of his own and sometime later he bought two young camels and a slave and then he became rich until he became very affluent. One day he went to see the Holy Prophet. He informed him of his whole story. The Holy Prophet said, ‘I told you, whoever asks us for help we help, but whoever appears to be rich when, in fact, he is not so, Allah will make him rich.’”
IsnādMuhammad ibn Yahya a rapporté de Muhammad ibn al-Husayn, de Abderrahman ibn Muhammad al-Asadi, de Salim ibn Mukram, de Abi Abdullah (sur lui la paix)
Il a dit: "La situation d'un homme parmi les compagnons du Prophète (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) devint difficile. Sa femme lui dit: 'Si tu allais voir le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) et que tu lui demandais?' Il se rendit donc auprès du Prophète (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui). Quand le Prophète (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) le vit, il dit: 'Celui qui nous demande, nous lui donnons; et celui qui se suffit, Allah le rend autonome.' L'homme dit: 'Il ne s'agit pas de moi.' Il retourna vers sa femme et lui expliqua. Elle dit: 'Le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) est un être humain, informe-le.' Il revint donc le voir. Quand le Prophète (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) le vit, il dit: 'Celui qui nous demande, nous lui donnons; et celui qui se suffit, Allah le rend autonome.' L'homme répéta cela trois fois. Ensuite, l'homme emprunta une hache, se rendit à la montagne, coupa du bois, le vendit pour la moitié d'un moud de blé, revint, le mangea, puis le lendemain revint avec plus de bois, le vendit, et ainsi de suite, jusqu'à ce qu'il achète une hache, puis deux jeunes chameaux et un esclave, et il devint riche. Il revint voir le Prophète (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) pour lui expliquer comment il était venu le voir et ce qu'il avait entendu du Prophète (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui). Le Prophète (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) lui dit: 'Je t'ai dit que celui qui nous demande, nous lui donnons; et celui qui se suffit, Allah le rend autonome.'"
