28. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Muhammad ibn Harun ibn ‘Imran al-Hamadani who has said the following. “I owed five hundred Dinars to the holy location (office of Imam al-Mahdi عليه السلام . I felt extremely depressed about it. I said to myself, “The stores that have bought was for five hundred thirty Dinars. I will set them aside for the holy location (office of Imam al-Mahdi عليه السلام .” However I had not said anything in words. He wrote to Muhammad ibn Ja‘far, “Take possession of the stores from Muhammad ibn Harun as payment for the five hundred Dinars that he owed us.”
