Hadith 28:372
Muhammad ibn Fudayl narrated to us, from Harun ibn Antara, from his father, who said: My father was a friend of Qanbar. He said: I went with Qanbar to Ali, and he said: "O Commander of the Faithful, come with me, for I have hidden a treasure for you." So he went with him to his house, and suddenly I was before a basket filled with bowls of gold and silver. He said: "O Commander of the Faithful, you do not leave anything except that you distribute it or spend it." So he drew his sword and said: "Woe to you! You have loved to bring a great fire into my house." Then he struck it with his sword, and it scattered, with some vessels cut in half and others in thirds. Ali said: "Call the overseers (al-urafa)." They came, and he said: "Distribute this in shares." He said: So they did, while he was saying: "O yellow one, O white one, deceive someone other than me." He began to say: "This is my harvest and its best is in it, while every harvester puts his hand to his mouth." He said: There were needles and awls in the treasury, and he used to take from every people their tax from the work of their hands. He said: He said to the overseers: "Distribute this." They said: "We have no need for it." He said: "By the One in Whose hand is my soul, we shall certainly distribute it, its good along with its bad."
حدثنا محمد بن فضيل عن هارون بن عنترة عن أبيه قال كان أبي صديقا لقنبر قال انطلقت مع قنبر إلى علي فقال يا أمير المؤمنين قم معي قد خبأت لك خبيئة فانطلق معه إلى بيته فإذا أنا بسلة مملوءة جامات من ذهب وفضة فقال يا أمير المؤمنين إنك لا تترك إلا شيئا قسمته أو أنفقته فسل سيفه فقال ويلك لقد أحببت أن تدخل بيتي نارا كبيرة ثم استعرضها بسيفه فضربها فانشترت بين إناء مقطوع نصفه وثلثه قال علي بالعرفاء فجاؤا فقال اقسموا هذه بالحصص قال ففعلوا وهو يقول يا صفراء يا بيضاء غوي غيري قال وجعل يقول % هذا جناي وخياره فيه % إذ كل جان يده إلى فيه % قال في بيت المال مسال وإبر وكان يأخذ من كل قوم خراجهم من عمل أيديهم قال وقال للعرفاء إقسموا هذا قالوا لا حاجة لنا فيه قال والذي نفسي بيده لنقسمنه خيره مع شره
