Chapter on Safeguarding Expenses During Travel
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 2|Book 3|Chapter 19
رُوِيَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ اَلْجَمَّالِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنَّ مَعِي أَهْلِي وَ أَنَا أُرِيدُ اَلْحَجَّ فَأَشُدُّ نَفَقَتِي فِي حَقْوَيَّ قَالَ «نَعَمْ فَإِنَّ أَبِي عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ كَانَ يَقُولُ» «مِنْ قُوَّةِ اَلْمُسَافِرِ حِفْظُ نَفَقَتِهِ ».
It is narrated from Safwan al-Jammal, who said: I said to Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, "I am traveling for Hajj with my family, and I secure my expenses by tying them around my waist." Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes, for my father عليه السلام used to say: 'Part of the strength of a traveller is safeguarding their expenses.'"
