40- حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ الْقَاضِي رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ حَامِدٍ الْكَاتِبِ قَالَ: كَانَ بِقُمَّ رَجُلٌ بَزَّازٌ مُؤْمِنٌ وَ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ مُرْجِئِيٌّ فَوَقَعَ بَيْنَهُمَا ثَوْبٌ نَفِيسٌ فَقَالَ الْمُؤْمِنُ يَصْلُحُ هَذَا الثَّوْبُ لِمَوْلَايَ فَقَالَ لَهُ شَرِيكُهُ لَسْتُ أَعْرِفُ مَوْلَاكَ وَ لَكِنْ افْعَلْ بِالثَّوْبِ مَا تُحِبُّ فَلَمَّا وَصَلَ الثَّوْبُ إِلَيْهِ شَقَّهُ ع بِنِصْفَيْنِ طُولًا فَأَخَذَ نِصْفَهُ وَ رَدَّ النِّصْفَ وَ قَالَ لَا حَاجَةَ لَنَا فِي مَالِ الْمُرْجِئِيِّ.
42 -Narrated to us Ahmad bin Harun Faami رضي الله عنه: Narrated to us Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Ja’far Himyari from his father from Ishaq bin Haamid Katib that he said:
“There was in Qom a faithful cloth seller. One of his partners in business was from the Murjiah sect. Once they received a very fine piece of cloth. The believer said: I will send this cloth to the Master (Imam). His partner said: I don’t know your Master, but you can do what you like. So the believer sent that cloth to the Imam. The Imam cut the cloth into half, kept one piece and returned the other and said: We don’t need anything from Murjiah.”
