Rabee’ bin Sulaimaan (rahimahullah) narrates the following:

On one occasion, we were with Imaam Shaafi‘ee (rahimahullah) when he exited from the musjid in Egypt and the strap of his sandal broke. Seeing what transpired, a certain person came forward, fixed the strap of Imaam Shaafi‘ee’s (rahimahullah) sandal and handed it back to him.

Imaam Shaafi‘ee (rahimahullah) turned to me and asked, “O Rabee’! Do you have any of the money that we brought for expenses?” I replied in the affirmative. Imaam Shaafi‘ee (rahimahullah) asked, “How much do you have?” I replied, “Seven dinars (gold coins).” Imaam Shaafi‘ee (rahimahullah) instructed, “Give the entire amount to this man.”

(Manaaqib-ush-Shaafi‘ee lil-Bayhaqi pg. 2/221)
