52. Sahl ibn Ziyad has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa ibn ‘Ubayd from al-Hassan ibn Ali ibn Yaqtin from al-Fadl ibn Kathir al- Mada’iniy from those whom he has mentioned who has said the following: “Once a certain person of the followers of abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, came to visit him (the Imam) and he saw his shirt had a patch on it, so he kept looking at it. Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, asked, ‘Why are you looking?’ He replied, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, there is a patch on your shirt.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Pick up this book and read what is there’ - there was a book in front of him (the Imam) or nearby. The man looked in the book and it was written there, ‘One who does not feel shy has no faith, one who does not plan has no wealth and one who does not have anything old cannot have anything new.’”
