٣٧٨٧٩ - حدثنا عفان بن مسلم قال: حدثنا جعفر بن سليمان قال: حدثنا بعض أصحابنا قال: كان مورق العجلي يتجر فيصيب المال، فلا تأتي عليه جمعة وعنده (منه) (١) شيء، قال: كان يلقى الأخ من إخوانه فيعطيه أربعمائة، خمسمائة، ثلاثمائة، فيقول: ضعها لنا عندك حتى (نحتاج) (٢) إليها، ثم يلقاه بعد ذلك فيقول: شأنك بها، ويقول الآخر: (لا) (٣) حاجة لي فيها، فيقول: إنا، واللَّه ما نحن بآخذيها أبدا، شأنك بها.
Hazrat Ja'far bin Sulaiman narrates that some of our companions related to us, saying that Hazrat Mawraq 'Ajli used to engage in trade and would acquire wealth. But not even a single Friday would pass before none of that wealth remained with him. The narrator says: If any of his brothers met him, he would give him four hundred, five hundred, or three hundred and say, "Keep this with you for us until we need it." Then, when he met him again, he would say, "You keep it." The other person would say, "I do not need it." Upon this, he would say, "By God! We will never take this money back. You keep it."
