According to some hadiths, one day a beggar entered the [[mosque of the Prophet (s)]] and asked for help; but, no one gave him anything. He raised his hands toward the sky and said, "O [[God]]! Witness that I asked for help in the mosque of Your Prophet (s) and no one gave me anything." When he said this, [[Imam Ali (a)]] was performing ruku' and pointed to the small finger of his right hand which had a ring on. The beggar went near and took the ring off [[Imam]]'s (a) finger. This event is reported to have happened in [[9]]/630-31 or [[10]]/631-2. | According to some hadiths, one day a beggar entered the [[mosque of the Prophet (s)]] and asked for help; but, no one gave him anything.
