وَ كَانَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَخْرُجُ فِي اَلْهَاجِرَةِ فِي اَلْحَاجَةِ قَدْ كُفِيَهَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَرَاهُ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى يُتْعِبُ نَفْسَهُ فِي طَلَبِ اَلْحَلاَلِ.
It is reported that Commander of the Faithful عليه السلام used to go out during the midday heat for tasks that had already been taken care of, desiring that Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted, would see him exerting himself in the pursuit of lawful sustenance.
