Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35073 — What they said on stipends
٣٥٠٧٣ - حدثنا حميد بن عبد الرحمن عن الحسن بن (قيس) (١) عن أبيه قال: أتيت عليا بابن (عم) (٢) لي فقلت: يا أمير المؤمنين افرض لهذا، قال: أربع -يعني أربعمائة، قال: قلت: إن أربعمائة لا تغني شيئًا زده المائتين (التي) (٣) زدت الناس قال: فذاك له، وقد كان زاد الناس مائتين (٤).
Qays (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I brought my paternal cousin to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "O Commander of the Believers, assign a stipend for him as well." He said: "Four hundred dirhams." I said: "Four hundred dirhams will be of no benefit to him. Add two hundred dirhams more for him, as you have added for the people." He said: "That is added for him as well." The narrator said: He had added two hundred dirhams for the people.
