fifth century, in his book titled Al-Gaiba (Seclusion ) reported Bishr
Al-Ansari (a servant of 10th Imam, Imam Ali Al-Naqi (as)) as saying
that one day, Imam Ali Al-Naqi (as) called him and said: "O' Bishr,
you are from the Ansars (inhabitants of Madina who believed in and
supported Prophet Mohammad (SAW) when he migrated from Makkah to
Madina in the early years of Islam) who have always been our loyal and
our trustworthy through generations, therefore I want to exalt you and
chasten you with the honor of carrying out a furtive mission."
Bishr Al-Ansari said that he became very anxious as Imam Ali Al-Naqi
(as) wrote a letter in Roman language, closed it and affixed his seal
on it. Then he took out a yellow bundle containing 220 golden Dinars.
Imam Ali Al-Naqi (as) handed me the gold bundle and the letter telling
me to go to Baghdad and to be near the crossing of Euphrates there in
the morning of so and so day. Imam Ali Al-Naqi (as) said: "when you
see the arrival of ships with many captive women brought in for sale
as slave girls, stay put as various panders for the Abbasid and a
number of young Arab buyers gather around. Watch from distance a slave
trader by the name of Umar bin Yazid Al-Nakhas, until he brings out a
slave girls wearing silk and looks so and so. She will refuse to take
the veil off her face, she will decline to show herself off or even
let anyone touch her. She will cry out in Roman language to save her
chastity from being attacked."
Imam Ali Al-Naqi (as) added: "One buyer will admire her chastity and
offers the salve trader 300 Dinars to buy her from him. She will say
to him: I have no desire for you even if you wore King Solomon's
clothes and owned a kingdom like his, so do not waste your money on
me. The slave trader will say to her: What's the idea? You are to be
sold anyhow. She would reply: Why the hurry? I will choose a buyer
whom my heart likes and accepts his loyalty and honesty. Then you
approach the slave trader and tell him that you have a letter from a
nobleman written in Roman language and inscription describing his
generosity, loyalty, benevolence and noblesse. Show her this letter,
and that if she tends to accept the vices of the writer, then you
could buy her for him."
