Hadith 175
۞
4. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from his father, from abu al-Jahm from Musa ibn Bakr from Ahmad ibn Sulayman who has said the following
“Abu al-Hassan, Musa (a.s.), has said, ‘A stingy person is one who exercises stinginess in paying what Allah has made obligatory upon him to pay.’”
4ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي الْجَهْمِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ بَكْرٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ
الْبَخِيلُ مَنْ بَخِلَ بِمَا افْتَرَضَ الله عَلَيْهِ.
