192 — Muhammad ibn Umāra al-Asadī al-Kūfī narrated to me: Sahl ibn Āmir al-Bajalī narrated to us: Abū Khālid al-Ahmar narrated to us, from al-Hajjāj ibn Artāh, who said: “Abū Jafar asked me, ‘Hajjāj, how is your mutual support?’ I replied, ‘It is good, Abū Jafar.’ He asked, ‘When one of you is in need, does he put his hand into his brother’s purse and take what he needs?’ I replied, ‘As for that, no.’ He said, ‘Had you done so, you would not have been in need.’”
