Hazrat Ali (A.S) was returning from a journey with a string of camels fully loaded with goods. On the way a beggar asked for a piece of bread. Imam Ali (a.s.) asked Qambar to give some bread to the beggar. Qambar was searching for the bread. After few moments Imam Ali (a.s.) asked about the delay. Qambar said: “I am looking for the bread.” Chief of the Philanthropy, Imam Ali (a.s.) said: “Give the beggar the camel which carries the food.” After a while the Imam (a.s.) again asked about the delay.Qambar said: “I am searching the camel which carries the bread.” Imam Ali (a.s.) ordered “Give the whole caravan” Qambar hurriedly jumped off from the camel and handed over the reins of the whole caravan to the fortunate beggar.Imam Ali (a.s.) smiled at the agility of Qambar and asked him: “Why did you jump so quickly and handed over the reins in such haste?” Qambar replied: “Master, you are in such a mood that on account of a little delay, you gave away the whole caravan. I was afraid if there was some more delay, you might give me away also with the caravan! You will get a thousand slaves like me but where will I get a master like you?”
