9 ـ عن أبي هريرة: جاءَ رجُلٌ إلى النّبيِّ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ)، فَشَكا إلَيه الجُوعَ، فَبَعثَ رسولُ اللّهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) إلى بُيوتِ أزواجِه
فقُلْنَ: ما عندَنا إلّا الماءُ . فقالَ رسولُ اللّهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): مَن لِهذا الرّجُلِ اللّيلةَ ؟ فقالَ عليُّ بنُ أبي طالبٍ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): أنا له يا رسولَ
اللّهِ. وأتى فاطمةَ (عَلَيهَا الّسَلامُ) فقالَ لها: ما عندَكِ يا ابنةَ رسولِ اللّهِ ؟ فقالتْ: ما عندَنا إلّا قُوتُ الصبيّة، لكِنّا نُؤثِرُ ضَيْفَنا، فقالَ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ):
يا ابنةَ محمّدٍ، نَوِّمي الصِّبْيَةَ وأطفئي المِصْباحَ. |

9 - Abu Hurayra narrated, ‘A man came to the Prophet (SAWA) and complained to him of hunger, so the Prophet (SAWA) sent a messenger to the homes of his wives, but they said that they had nothing but water. The Prophet (SAWA) asked, ‘Who can host this man tonight?’ So Ali b. Abi Talib (AS) said, ‘I will host him, O Messenger of Allah.’ He came to Fatima (AS) and asked her, ‘What do you have, O daughter of the Prophet?’ She said, ‘We only have food for tonight, but we will give it to our guest.’ He (AS) said, ‘O Daughter of Muhammad. Take the children to bed and put off the lamp.’ The next morning, Ali (AS) came to the Prophet (SAWA) and told him the story. No sooner had he left than Allah, the Exalted, revealed the verse: “…but prefer [others] to themselves…”.[ Nur al-Thaqalayn, v. 5, p. 285, no. 53] |

12 ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ في قَولِهِ تَعالى: وَ يُطْعِمُونَ الطَّعَامَ عَلَى حُبِّهِ مِسْكِينًا وَ يَتِيمًا وَ أَسِيرًا ـ: كانَ عِندَ فاطِمَةَ (عَلَيهَا الّسَلامُ) شَعيرٌ، فَجَعَلوهُ عَصيدَةً، فَلَمّا أنضَجوها ووَضَعوها بَينَ أيديهِم جاءَ مِسكينٌ، فَقالَ المِسكينُ: رَحِمَكُمُ اللّهُ! أطعِمونا مِمّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللّهُ، فَقامَ عَلِيٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) فَأَعطاهُ ثُلُثَها. فَما لَبِثَ أن جاءَ يَتيمٌ، فَقالَ اليَتيمُ: رَحِمَكُمُ اللّهُ ! أطعِمونا مِمّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللّهُ، فَقامَ عَلِيٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) فَأَعطاهُ ثُلُثَهَا الثّانِيَ. فَما لَبِثَ أن جاءَ أسيرٌ، فَقالَ الأَسيرُ: يَرحَمُكُمُ اللّهُ ! أطعِمونا مِمّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللّهُ، فَقامَ عَلِيٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) فَأعطاهُ الثُّلُثَ الباقِيَ، وما ذاقوها. فَأَنزَلَ اللّهُ فيهِم هذِهِ الآيَةَ إلى قَولِهِ: وَ كَانَ سَعْيُكُم مَّشْكُورًا. |

12 - Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘Fatima (AS) had some barley which she made into a sweet paste. When they had finished cooking it and placed it on the table, a poor man came and said, ‘May Allah have mercy upon you.’ So Ali (AS) stood up and gave him a third of it. Soon afterwards, an orphan came and said, ‘May Allah have mercy upon you.’ Ali (AS) stood up and gave him a third. Soon afterwards, a prisoner of war came and said, ‘May Allah have mercy upon you.’ So Ali (AS) gave him the last third, and they did not even taste it. So Allah, the Exalted, sent down the Qur’anic verses honouring them, and they apply to every believer who does the same for the sake of Allah, the Exalted.[ Ibid. p. 470, no. 20] |
