30. Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Bandar has narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from a man whom has named from al-Husayn al-Jammal who has said the following
“One day I saw Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar pack his bag, ready to move, when a man came asking to exchange dirham with dinar. He opened his bag, gave him dirham and took the dinar. I then said, ‘Allah is free of all defects, how dinar can be better?’ Ishaq said, ‘I did not do it because of my interest in dinar, but I heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), saying, “One who considers a small amount of sustenance little becomes deprived of a great deal of sustenance.’””
30- عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بُنْدَارَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ رَجُلٍ سَمَّاهُ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ الْجَمَّالِ قَالَ
شَهِدْتُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنَ عَمَّارٍ يَوْماً وَقَدْ شَدَّ كِيسَهُ وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَقُومَ فَجَاءَهُ إِنْسَانٌ يَطْلُبُ دَرَاهِمَ بِدِينَارٍ فَحَلَّ الْكِيسَ فَأَعْطَاهُ دَرَاهِمَ بِدِينَارٍ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ مَا كَانَ فَضْلُ هَذَا الدِّينَارِ فَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ مَا فَعَلْتُ هَذَا رَغْبَةً فِي فَضْلِ الدِّينَارِ وَلَكِنْ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ مَنِ اسْتَقَلَّ قَلِيلَ الرِّزْقِ حُرِمَ الْكَثِيرَ.
