Imam Sajjad (a.s.) - Helping Poors and Needy

Imam Ali bin Husain as-Sajjad (a.s.) would cover his face and go out in the city of Madinah to meet the needs of the poor and the needy himself. Whenever he met a needy person on the way who would express his need to him, he (a.s.) would welcome him with these words:
“Welcome, O, the one who carries my provisions towards the hereafter.”

Behaar al-Anwaar, v. 46, p. 98, C. 5, H. 86
