[Machine] He said, "I witnessed on a Friday, when a petitioner came to Abu Musa, and he was the first person I saw. He said, 'Indeed, I am a burdened petitioner.' So the people encouraged him, and clothes and coins were thrown at him until he said, 'That is enough.' Then he went to his family and found that they had given him his petition and an additional three hundred dirhams. So he came to Abu Musa and asked him. Abu Musa commanded him to place it in the same manner as the others, and we have been narrated a similar story from Ali ibn Abi Talib as a resemblance to this story. Ali came and asked him about the preference. Abu Musa said, 'Place it among the petitioners, and it should be mentioned in the book of the petitioners.'"
