[Machine] Ali used to carry a load on his shoulders for Fudhayl. The food he carried was not enough, so he sat by the well. Fudhayl came to them and said, "What are you doing to Ali? We had a sheep in Kufa that ate a small amount of fodder for some princes or kings or those who resemble them, and I didn't give her milk afterwards." They said, "We didn't know, O Abu Ali, that it was for you."
أنَّ عَلِيًّا كَانَ يَحْمِلُ عَلَى أَبَاعِرَ كَانَتْ لِفُضَيْلٍ فَنَقَصَ الطَّعَامُ الَّذِي حَمَلَهُ فَجَلَسَ عِنْدَ الْكَرِيِّ فَأَتَى الْفُضَيْلُ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ تَفْعَلُونَ هَذَا بِعَلِيٍّ لَقَدْ كَانَتْ لَنَا شَاةٌ بِالْكُوفَةِ فَأَكَلَتْ شَيْئًا يَسِيرًا مِنْ عَلَفٍ لِبَعْضِ الْأُمَرَاءِ أَوِ الْمُلُوكِ أَوْ مَنْ يُشْبِهُهُمْ فَمَا شَرِبْتُ لَهَا لَبَنًا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالُوا لَمْ نَعْلَمْ يَا أَبَا عَلِيٍّ أَنَّهُ إِلَيْكَ
