Hadith 33:1441

Abu Usama narrated to us, from Zakariya, from Abu Ishaq, from Sa’d ibn Ma’bad, who said: Asma bint Umays narrated to me that Ja’far came to her when they were in Abyssinia, and he was weeping. She said: "What is the matter with you?" He said: "I saw a pampered youth from Abyssinia, large-bodied, pass by a woman and knock over flour that was with her, and the wind blew it away." She said: "Have you left it until the day when the King sits upon the throne and takes [justice] for the oppressed from the oppressor?"

حدثنا أبو أسامة عن زكريا عن أبي إسحاق عن سعد بن معبد قال حدثتني أسماء ابنة عميس أن جعفرا جاءها إذ هم بالحبشة وهو يبكي فقالت ما شأنك قال رأيت فتى مترفا من الحبشة جسيما مر على امرأة فطرح دقيقا كان معها فنسفته الريح قالت أكللت إلى يوم يجلس الملك على الكرسي فيأخذ للمظلوم من الظالم
