Ask Qul - Miscellaneous - buying a statue of naken man

Pearl of Wisdom

'I saw Aba 'Abdillah (AS) with a spade in his hand and wearing thick clothes, working in his yard with sweat dripping from his back. I stepped forward and said, may I be your ransom, allow me to work in your place.' He replied, 'Verily I love for a man [myself] to bear the sun's heat in the quest for a living.'

Abu 'Amr al-Shaybani

al-Kafi, v. 5, p. 76, no. 13
