Abu al-Khattab The Representative of the Imam

13. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Ali ibn ‘Aqabah who has said the following: Abu al-Khattab before corrupting his belief would present the legal questions of our companions [before the Imam] and bring back the answers. He has narrated from Abu Abdallah (a.s.) the following: ‘You should purchase goods even if prices are high; sustenance comes by means of buying.’” [al-Kafi, Volume 5, Page 150]

13 - محمد بن يحيى، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن علي بن الحكم، عن علي بن عقبة قال: كان أبو الخطاب (2) قبل أن يفسد وهو يحمل المسائل لأصحابنا ويجيئ بجواباتها روى عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال: اشتروا وإن كان غاليا فإن الرزق ينزل مع الشراء.
