28- وَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْأَسْوَدُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَحْمِلُ الْأَمْوَالَ الَّتِي تُجْعَلُ فِي بَابِ الْوَقْفِ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ الْعَمْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَيَقْبِضُهَا مِنِّي فَحَمَلْتُ إِلَيْهِ يَوْماً شَيْئاً مِنَ الْأَمْوَالِ فِي آخِرِ أَيَّامِهِ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بِسَنَتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثِ سِنِينَ فَأَمَرَنِي بِتَسْلِيمِهِ إِلَى أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ الرَّوْحِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَ كُنْتُ أُطَالِبُهُ بِالْقُبُوضِ- فَشَكَا ذَلِكَ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الْعَمْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ لَا أُطَالِبَهُ بِالْقَبْضِ وَ قَالَ كُلَّمَا وَصَلَ إِلَى أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ وَصَلَ إِلَيَّ قَالَ فَكُنْتُ أَحْمِلُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ الْأَمْوَالَ إِلَيْهِ وَ لَا أُطَالِبُهُ بِالْقُبُوضِ.
قال مصنف هذا الكتاب رضي الله عنه الدلالة في هذا الحديث هي في المعرفة بمبلغ ما يحمل إليه و الاستغناء عن القبوض و لا يكون ذلك إلا من أمر الله عز و جل
28 - And narrated to us Abu Ja’far Muhammad bin Ali Aswad رضي الله عنه that he said:
“I handed over to Abu Ja’far Muhammad bin Uthman Amri cash/kind that was supposed to be paid to the Imam so that he may convey the same to the Holy Imam عليه السلام. He accepted the things from me. Then two or three years before his demise once again I took some payments of the Imam to him (Amri). This time he told me to take the same to Abul Qasim Husain bin Rauh. I complained to Abu Ja’far but was told not demand that and he said: Whatever has reached Abul Qasim has reached me. Finally I took the monies to Abul Qasim and did not demand that which was in his possession.
