Hadith 45
Hadith.1641 - It is narrated from Ali ibn Yaqtin, who said
I said to Abu al-Hasan al-Awwal (Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (as)) "A man died, and he had Zakat due on him. He instructed in his will that the Zakat be paid on his behalf, but his children are needy. Paying the Zakat would cause them severe hardship. What should they do?" The Imam (as) replied: "They should pay the Zakat and then return it to themselves, keeping a portion to be given to others."
1641 - رُوِيَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلْأَوَّلِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ رَجُلٌ مَاتَ وَ عَلَيْهِ زَكَاةٌ وَ أَوْصَى أَنْ تُقْضَى عَنْهُ اَلزَّكَاةُ وَ وُلْدُهُ مَحَاوِيجُ إِنْ دَفَعُوهَا أَضَرَّ بِهِمْ ذَلِكَ ضَرَراً شَدِيداً فَقَالَ «يُخْرِجُونَهَا فَيَعُودُونَ بِهَا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَ يُخْرِجُونَ مِنْهَا شَيْئاً فَيُدْفَعُ إِلَى غَيْرِهِمْ ».

Hadith 46
Hadith.1642 - Isma'il ibn Jabir narrated: I said to Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) "Is it permissible for a man to take Zakat even though he does not need it, and then give it in charity?" Imam (as) replied: "Yes." Imam (as) also said the same regarding the Fitrah.
1642 - وَ رَوَى إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَابِرٍ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَحِلُّ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ اَلزَّكَاةَ وَ هُوَ لاَ يَحْتَاجُ إِلَيْهَا فَيَتَصَدَّقَ بِهَا قَالَ «نَعَمْ» وَ قَالَ فِي اَلْفِطْرَةِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ.

Hadith 47
Hadith.1643 - It is narrated from Abu Basir, who said
I asked Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) "What obligation does the Imam have concerning Zakat?" Imam (as) replied: "O Abu Muhammad, do you not know that the world belongs to the Imam? He places it wherever he wishes and gives it to whomever he wishes, and this is permissible for him by Allah (swt), the Almighty. The Imam never spends a single night while there remains a right of Allah (swt), the Almighty, upon him without fulfilling it, for Allah (swt) will hold him accountable for it."
1643 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مَا عَلَى اَلْإِمَامِ مِنَ اَلزَّكَاةِ فَقَالَ «يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ اَلدُّنْيَا لِلْإِمَامِ يَضَعُهَا حَيْثُ يَشَاءُ وَ يَدْفَعُهَا إِلَى مَنْ يَشَاءُ جَائِزٌ مِنَ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ ذَلِكَ إِنَّ اَلْإِمَامَ لاَ يَبِيتُ لَيْلَةً أَبَداً وَ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي عُنُقِهِ حَقٌّ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْهُ ».
