100. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad and Abu Ali Al-Ashari, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar altogether from Ibn Fadhal, from Ali Bin Uqba, from Sa'id Bin Amro and Al-Ju’fi, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said: ‘I came up to Abu Ja’far (asws) one day and (I felt that) he was resting (upon something) whilst eating, and he had been telling us that it is undesirable. So I looked at him, so he called me over to eat with him. When he had finished, he said: ‘O Muhammad, you had been thinking that no eye had seen the Rasulallah (saww) eating whilst leaning (upon something) from the time Allah (azwj) Sent him up to his passing away’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Then he referred to himself and said: ‘No! By Allah (azwj), no eye had seen his eating whilst leaning (upon something) from the time Allah (azwj) Sent him up to his passing away. Then said: ‘O Muhammad! Perhaps you think that he satiated himself from good bread for three continuous days from the time Allah (azwj) Sent him up to his passing away’. Then he referred to himself, then said: ‘No! By Allah, he did not satiate himself from good bread for three continuous days since Allah sent him up to his passing away. But, I am not saying that he could not find it, for he used to gift one man a hundred camels. Had he intended to eat it he would have eaten. And Jibra'il had come to him with the Keys of the treasures of the earth three times giving him the option without any reduction of anything from Allah from what Allah (azwj) had Prepared for him for the Day of Judgement. He chose the modesty to his Lord (azwj). And when asked for anything he never said, ‘No’, at all. He would say: ‘If I had it I would give it’. And if was not available, he would say: ‘It would come’, and whenever Allah (azwj) Gave anything at all he would hand it over to him, to the extent that if the man has been Given the Paradise, which Allah (azwj) would submit to him, then he would give it to him by his own hands’. And said: ‘Your Master (Amir-ul-Muminin) used to sit like the sitting of the slave, and eat like the eating of the slave, and would feed the people good bread and the meat, and would return to his family to eat bread with oil. And if he were to buy Al-Sunbulani shirt, then he would give his slave the choice of the better one, then would wear the remaining one. So if he would find a little excess he would withdraw it, and if his would feel that his heel had exceeded he would have removed it. No two matters would be referred to him at all for the sake of Allah except that he would opt for the more difficult one upon his body, and he was the ruler of the people for five years but did not place a brick upon a brick, and did not build a construction upon a construction, and did not acquire a piece of land, and did not leave a legacy behind him, white or red except for seven hundred Dirhams as a gifts, intending that he would buy a servant for his Family. No one could bear any of his works, and Ali Bin Al-Husayn (a.s.) used to look into a Book from the Books of Ali, so he would strike the ground with it and would say: ‘Who can endure this?’
IsnādUn groupe de nos compagnons de Sahl ibn Ziyad, d'Abu Ali al-Ash'ari, de Muhammad ibn Abd al-Jabbar, tous de la part d'Ibn Faddal, de Ali ibn Uqba, de Sa'id ibn Amr al-Ju'fi, de Muhammad ibn Muslim, a dit : "Je suis entré un jour chez Abu Ja'far (que la paix soit sur lui) alors qu'il mangeait en étant adossé. Il était rapporté que cela lui déplaisait. Je me mis donc à le regarder, et il m'invita à partager son repas. Quand il eut fini, il dit : 'Ô Muhammad, peut-être penses-tu que le Messager d'Allah (que la paix et les bénédictions d'Allah soient sur lui) ne mangeait pas en étant adossé, et qu'Allah l'avait envoyé jusqu'à ce qu'Il le rappelle.' Puis il se reprit et dit : 'Non, par Allah, le Messager d'Allah (que la paix et les bénédictions d'Allah soient sur lui) mangeait en étant adossé, et Allah l'avait envoyé jusqu'à ce qu'Il le rappelle.' Ensuite, il dit : 'Ô Muhammad, peut-être penses-tu qu'il se rassasiait de pain d'orge pendant trois jours consécutifs avant qu'Allah ne le rappelle.' Puis il se reprit et dit : 'Non, par Allah, il ne se rassasiait pas de pain d'orge pendant trois jours consécutifs depuis qu'Allah l'avait envoyé jusqu'à ce qu'Il le rappelle.' Il ajouta : 'Je ne dis pas qu'il ne pouvait pas nourrir cent chameaux avec un seul grain, s'il avait voulu manger, il aurait mangé. Certes, Gabriel (que la paix soit sur lui) lui apporta les clés des trésors de la terre trois fois, lui laissant le choix sans que cela diminue ce qu'Allah, le Béni et Très-Haut, lui avait préparé pour le Jour de la Résurrection. Il choisit l'humilité envers son Seigneur, le Puissant et Majestueux, et jamais il ne refusa quoi que ce soit. S'il donnait, il donnait, sinon il disait : "Il sera." Jamais il ne refusa quoi que ce soit à Allah. Il remit tout à Lui, même s'il devait donner le Paradis à un homme, Allah le lui remettrait. Puis il me prit par la main et dit : 'Si ton compagnon s'assoit comme un serviteur, mange comme un serviteur, nourrit les gens de pain d'orge et de viande, puis retourne chez lui pour manger du pain et de l'huile, s'il achète une chemise de lin et laisse son serviteur choisir la meilleure, puis porte le reste, et s'il coupe ses doigts et ses talons, et s'il ne reçoit jamais deux ordres sans les exécuter pour Allah, sa satisfaction, alors il tiendra fermement les deux choses les plus difficiles sur son corps.' Les gens lui furent soumis pendant cinq ans sans qu'il ne mette un dirham sur un autre dirham, ni un lait sur un autre lait, ni qu'il ne coupe une part blanche ou rouge sans qu'elle ne vaille sept cents dirhams de plus que ce qu'il avait donné. Il voulait acheter un serviteur pour sa famille avec cela. Personne ne pouvait supporter son travail, même Ali ibn al-Husayn (que la paix soit sur lui) regardait dans les livres d'Ali (que la paix soit sur lui), frappait la terre avec eux et disait : "Qui peut supporter cela?"
