It is narrated from Salih, may Allah have mercy on him, who was a cloth merchant, that my grandmother said: I saw Sayyiduna Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, that he bought dates for one dirham and put them in his bag and picked them up. I or some man said to him: O Commander of the Faithful! I will carry them for you. He replied: No, the father of the children is more deserving to carry them.
