Reward of paying Zakat

“One who takes out full Zakat from his wealth and disburses it in the proper manner would not be questioned from where he gathered his wealth.”

2. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his father that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “Whenever Allah wants to offer something good to His slave He sends the angel who is the treasurer of Paradise to that person. That angel strokes the chest of that slave and he would get the virtue of paying Zakat.” Amirul Momineen (a.s.) says in his will, “By Allah, be careful about Zakat because it silences the anger of your Lord.”

3. The narrator says that he heard Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) say, “Protect your wealth with the help of Zakat. Cure the sick among you with the help of Sadaqah. And no wealth is lost in land or sea except of the one who does not pay Zakat.”
