- ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; my father narrated to me; Yahya ibn Saʿid narrated to us, from Abu Hayyan, who said that Mujammaʿ told him: ʿAli—may Allah honor his countenance—would have the public treasury swept, then sprinkled with water, after which he would offer prayer inside it, hoping it would testify for him on the Day of Resurrection that he had never withheld any wealth there from the Muslims.
٦٩٥ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَيَّانَ، حَدَّثَنِي مُجَمِّعٌ «أَنَّ عَلِيًّا (رضي الله عنه) كَانَ يَأْمُرُ بِبَيْتِ الْمَالِ فَيُكْنَسُ ثُمَّ يُنْضَحُ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ رَجَاءَ أَنْ يَشْهَدَ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَحْبِسْ فِيهِ الْمَالَ عَنِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ»
