The Life of Sheikh Ansari – Part7

In the Name of God


   Preference of the Truth over Personal Issues!



Another instance of Sheikh Ansari’s piety is depicted below:

A large sum of money was entrusted to him. That night his wife started experiencing labor pain. He had no one in his house and no money.
He thought a lot and wondered whether he could use the money entrusted to him.
He went towards the money, wanted to touch it but returned.
On one hand his wife’s moans and on the other not having money had put Sheikh in a very bad situation.
He finally said, “The truth has priority over my wife”.  And he decided not to touch the money.
It is said that he went towards the money seven times but finally did not use it. He set out towards his Master, Imam Ali (AS).
On the way, he met a few ladies who rushed towards him.
He asked, “Who are you?”
They replied, “We have come to help your wife!”
And his daughter, lady Zahra, was born. 

The same night Sheikh dreamt of Satan with ropes in his hands. But one of the ropes was torn and very thick. There were seven or nine signs on it and it had finally torn.  
He asked, “Who do these ropes belong to?”
Satan replied, “I have put each one of them around one person’s neck.”

“This rope belongs to you, but you tore it”
