حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ بَحْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ هَاشِمِ بْنِ الْبَرِيدِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا صَالِحٌ بَيَّاعُ الأَكْسِيَةِ، عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ
قَالَتْ: رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ اشْتَرَى تَمْرًا بِدِرْهَمٍ، فَحَمَلَهُ فِي مِلْحَفَتِهِ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ، أَوْ قَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ: أَحْمِلُ عَنْكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ؟ قَالَ: لَا، أَبُو الْعِيَالِ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يَحْمِلَ
Salih, the garment-seller, reported that his grandmother said, “I saw Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, buy fates for a dirham and put them in his blanket. I said to him (or a man said to him), ‘I will carry it for you, Amir al-Muminin.’ He said, ‘No, the father of the family is the one who is the most entitled to carry it.’”
