٢٢٣٦١ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا ابن فضيل عن حصين قال: شهدت شريحا (وأتاه) (١) رجل ومعه ابن أخيه قد استعدى عليه، فقال (٢) الرجل: إن ابن أخي يكثر (٣) السكر، يعرّض (٤) بالشراب، قال شريح: أمسك عليه ماله، وأنفق عليه بالمعروف، قال: وكان ابن أخيه قد خرجت لحيته.
Hazrat Husain (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that I was present with Hazrat Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) when a man came along with his nephew, against whom he was seeking help. The man submitted that his nephew consumes a lot of intoxicating substances (he was referring to alcohol). Hazrat Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) said, "Stop giving him pocket money and spend on him in a good manner." Hazrat Husain (may Allah have mercy on him) states that the nephew had already grown a beard.
