Professor Ansarian pointed out in one his lectures that if a scholar is stingy and tight fisted and justifies himself that he does not have any power or tendency, his actions will be imprisoned and the people of one area, village or city will suffer from ignorance. When this happens, Allah,s worship is not done seriously and serving the people fades away, therefore in the Holy Quran we see how the lord of the universe talks about his beloved servants and he describes one great and accepted trait of his beloved servant as follows. And “who spend their property for the cause of Allah”. In other words, they love spending whatever I have granted them, and they spend their prestige which I have given them for positive works and affairs. They have no money themselves, but they use their prestige and make the good wealthy people spend their money positively. They encourage those rich people to give charity, do good deeds and solve people,s problems. These people did not use to have any strength or power in the society. Now they have power and they are known by people, administrations, organizations, lawyers and ministers. The use the power which is given by me to solve people,s problems. They do not want power because of power, they do not want the power for themselves, they do not want power to be famous in the society, they have nothing to do with such issues, but they say: my lord has given me a power so that I write a letter, I request for something and do everything for the servants of my master,
Professor Ansarian said: one of the valid narrators who is a remarkable figure said: I was doing Tawaf (one of the Islamic rituals of pilgrimage.) along with Imam sadiq peace be upon him. The Tawaf we were in was an obligatory one, it was the third round of Tawaf I was performing with Imam sadiq that suddenly a friend of mine was asking me to help him, since I was in an obligatory Tawaf, I made myself understood by some gestures that I cannot quit doing this obligatory Tawaf, but he was keep asking me for help. Imam sadiq saw him and asked: is that man calling you? I said: o son of the messenger of Allah, yes, he said: who is he? I said: he is one of our shias and followers. Imam said: go there and see what can you do for him. I said: he has already told me that he had a problem I can solve, he said: do not continue your Tawaf and go, I said: o Sir this Tawaf is obligatory, he said: I know that, I said: should we not continue an obligatoryTawaf? He said: I know that too, is quitting Tawaf not Harram (forbidden)? I know that as well, but now that someone is in trouble and you can solve his problems, you are not allowed to continue your Tawaf. So, stop performing Tawaf, go sovle that man,s problem and come back again and restart your Tawaf.
