Hadith 525
1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Yahya al-’Attar from Muhammad b. Ahmad from al-Hassan b. al-Hassan al-Lu’lu’ee who raised it to from ’Amru b. Shimr from Jabir from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said
“A worshipper prayed to Allah for eighty years. Then he fell in love with a woman and fulfilled his desires with her. When the angel of death approached him, he became mute. A beggar happened to pass by. That person pointed out the beggar to take the piece of bread lying in his pocket. The Almighty Allah had destroyed his worship of eighty years due to the adultery committed by him but He forgave him for offering that piece of bread.”

3. The narrator was present near Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) when there was a discussion about illness. Imam said, “Treat your illness with Sadaqah. Why don’t you offer a day’s food as Sadaqah? If the angel of death is ordered to take out the soul of a person and he pays Sadaqah, the angel of death is told to return.”

6. It was narrated to me by al-Hassan b. Ahmad from his father from Muhammad b. Ahmad b. Ibrahim b. Hashim from Musa b. Abi al-Hassan from al-Ridha (a.s.) who said
Imam Ridha (a.s.) narrates that there was drought in Bani Israel for many years at a stretch. A woman kept a morsel in her mouth. A beggar passed by and called out, “O woman! I am hungry.” The woman thought that she should offer Sadaqah and took out the morsel from her mouth and gave it to the beggar. The woman had a young child who had gone to collect some firewood in the forest. A wolf picked the child up and started running away. The woman started chasing that wolf. Allah sent Jibraeel at that time and he took the child from wolf and returned him to his mother and told her, “O woman! Are you happy to get the return of that morsel through this one?”

12. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) narrates that Amirul Momineen (a.s.) said that once he gave a dinar as Sadaqah. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) told him, “O Ali! Don’t you know, that before a believer gives Sadaqah seventy Satans are released and they plead him not to do so. This Sadaqah passes through the hands of Allah before reaching the hands of the beggar.” Then he recited the verse: ‘Don’t you know that only Allah accepts the repentance of the servants and takes Sadaqah. Surely Allah is the Greatest Forgiver and Most Merciful.”

23. And from the previous chain from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah from his father from Sa’dan b. Muslim from Abdillah b. Sinan who said
It is narrated that a beggar came to Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) on Thursday night. Imam returned him empty-handed and told the people present there, “I had enough money to give him as Sadaqah but Sadaqah given on Friday carries multiple rewards.”
وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ سَعْدَانَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ
أَتَی سَائِلٌ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَشِیَّهَ الْخَمِیسِ فَسَأَلَهُ فَرَدَّهُ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَی جُلَسَائِهِ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّ عِنْدَنَا مَا یُتَصَدَّقُ عَلَیْهِ وَ لَکِنَّ الصَّدَقَهَ یَوْمَ الْجُمُعَهِ تُضَاعَفُ أَضْعَافاً.
