Imam Sadiq (a.s) narrated that once when Imam Ali (a.s) had sent his servant to do something, he came back a little too late. Imam Ali (a.s) told him to rush, and he did. Then when he came to Imam Ali (a.s), Ameer al-Momineen (a.s) said
“I see no other way to be kind with you. Go you are free.”
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
بعث علي (عليه السلام) غلاما له في حاجة فأبطأ عليه، فلما جاءه قال: اسع فسعى، ثم أقبل، فقال له أمير المؤمنين: ما أرى إلا وقد أشفقت عليك، فاذهب فأنت حر.
