4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ’Isma‘il ibn Marrar from Yunus from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Ali ibn abu Hamzah who has said the following
“I once asked abu Ibrahim (a.s.), about a man who is required to pay Zakat in the amount of one thousand dirham. He distributes it and thinks to give a certain amount to a certain person but then for some reason he gives it to someone else. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not harmful.’”
4ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مَرَّارٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ
قُلْتُ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ يُعْطِي الألْفَ الدِّرْهَمِ مِنَ الزَّكَاةِ فَيَقْسِمُهَا فَيُحَدِّثُ نَفْسَهُ أَنْ يُعْطِيَ الرَّجُلَ مِنْهَا ثُمَّ يَبْدُو لَهُ وَيَعْزِلُهُ وَيُعْطِي غَيْرَهُ قَالَ لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ.
