3. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ibrahim ibn Ishaq from Muhammad ibn Sulayman from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), once said, ‘Zakat for animals with hooves and Zakat of the cloven-footed ones are given to Muslims who maintain good-looking style but Zakat of gold, silver, and whatever is measured by measuring devices of what the earth produces is given to those who sit on dirt.’ Ibn Sinan has said that he then asked, ‘How has this become so? He (the Imam) said, ‘It is because those who maintain beauty feel shy before people to ask, thus more beautiful of the two to people is given to them and the whole thing is charity (Zakat) (after all).’”
3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ
قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) إِنَّ صَدَقَةَ الْخُفِّ وَالظِّلْفِ تُدْفَعُ إِلَى الْمُتَجَمِّلِينَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَأَمَّا صَدَقَةُ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَمَا كِيلَ بِالْقَفِيزِ مِمَّا أَخْرَجَتِ الأرْضُ فَلِلْفُقَرَاءِ الْمُدْقَعِينَ قَالَ ابْنُ سِنَانٍ قُلْتُ وَكَيْفَ صَارَ هَذَا كَذَا فَقَالَ لأَنَّ هَؤُلاَءِ مُتَجَمِّلُونَ يَسْتَحْيُونَ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَيُدْفَعُ إِلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَلُ الأمْرَيْنِ عِنْدَ النَّاسِ وَكُلٌّ صَدَقَةٌ.
