3. Ahmad ibn Muhammad from has narrated from his father from Ali ibn Wahban from his uncle, Harun ibn ‘Isa who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, once said to his son, Muhammad, ‘Son, how much is left with you of that (money) for expenses?’ He replied, ‘Forty dinars are left.’ He said, ‘You should go out and give it away as charity.’ The son said, ‘No more money is left with me besides this.’ The Imam said, ‘You should give it as charity, Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, will replace it. Have you not noted that for everything there is a key, and the key to greater means of sustenance is giving charity, so give it as charity.’ The son followed the instruction. Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, waited for only ten days until he received four thousand dinars from a certain place. He then said, ‘Son, we gave Allah forty dinars and He has given us four thousand dinars.’”
IsnādAhmad ibn Muhammad a rapporté de son père, de Ali ibn Wahban, de son oncle Haroun ibn Issa, qui a dit : Abu Abdullah (que la paix soit sur lui) a dit à son fils Muhammad : "Ô mon fils, combien as-tu reçu de bénédictions de cette aumône ?" Il répondit : "Quarante dinars." Il dit alors : "Sors et fais-en aumône." Il répondit : "Il ne me reste rien d'autre que cela." Il dit : "Fais-en aumône, car Allah le Très Haut te le remplacera. Ne sais-tu pas que chaque chose a une clé, et la clé de la subsistance est l'aumône. Fais-en donc aumône." Il obéit et Abu Abdullah (que la paix soit sur lui) ne passa que dix jours jusqu'à ce qu'il reçoive de l'endroit quatre mille dinars. Il dit : "Ô mon fils, donnons quarante dinars à Allah." Allah nous donna alors quatre mille dinars.
