4. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from abu al-Qasim al-Kufiy from those who narrated to him from Muhammad ibn al-Walid al-Kirmaniy who has said the following
“I once asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about musk. He (the Imam) said, ‘My father once commanded to prepare for him musk in frankincense for seven hundred dirham. Fadl ibn Sahl then informed him (the Imam) that people scorn it. He (the Imam) wrote to him saying, ‘O Fadl, did you not know that Yusuf ‘Alayhi al-Salam, a Prophet wore brocades with buttons of gold and sat on the chair made of gold and it did not reduce of his wisdom anything?’ He (the Imam) said that he commanded to prepare for him al-Ghaliyah for four thousand dirham.’”
عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ الْكُوفِيِّ عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ الْكِرْمَانِيِّ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الثَّانِي ( عليه السلام ) مَا تَقُولُ فِي الْمِسْكِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَبِي أَمَرَ فَعُمِلَ لَهُ مِسْكٌ فِي بَانٍ بِسَبْعِمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ يُخْبِرُهُ أَنَّ النَّاسَ يَعِيبُونَ ذَلِكَ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ يَا فَضْلُ أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ يُوسُفَ ( عليه السلام ) وَ هُوَ نَبِيٌّ كَانَ يَلْبَسُ الدِّيبَاجَ مُزَرَّراً بِالذَّهَبِ وَ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى كَرَاسِيِّ الذَّهَبِ وَ لَمْ يَنْقُصْ ذَلِكَ مِنْ حِكْمَتِهِ شَيْئاً قَالَ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ فَعُمِلَتْ لَهُ غَالِيَةٌ بِأَرْبَعَةِ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ .
