11ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله رَفَعَهُ قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) لابْنِهِ الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم)
يَا بُنَيَّ مَا السَّمَاحَةُ قَالَ الْبَذْلُ فِي الْيُسْرِ وَالْعُسْرِ.
11. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah in a marfu‘ manner saying: “’Amir al-Mu’minin 
, once asked his son, al-Hassan , ‘My son, what is generosity?’ He replied,
‘It is providing assistance in both easy and difficult conditions.’”
