Hadith 675
۞
24. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allah from ‘Abd Allah ibn Ja’far from Ayyub ibn Nuh who has said the following
“I once wrote to abu al-Hassan, the third (a.s.), that a (certain) people have asked me about al-Fitrah. They ask if they can bring its price to you. In the year before, this man had delivered to you. He had asked me to ask you but I had forgotten about it. This year I have sent you for every one of my dependents one dirham as price of nine Artal for one dirham. Grant us your decision, I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause. He (the Imam) wrote to me, ‘Questions about al- Fitrah have become so many and I dislike whatever leads to popularity (unnecessary propagation). Cut down its mention, accept from those who have given, and abstain from those who have not paid.’”
24ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ نُوحٍ قَالَ
كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الثَّالِثِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أَنَّ قَوْماً سَأَلُونِي عَنِ الْفِطْرَةِ وَيَسْأَلُونِّي أَنْ يَحْمِلُوا قِيمَتَهَا إِلَيْكَ وَقَدْ بَعَثَ إِلَيْكَ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ عَامَ أَوَّلَ وَسَأَلَنِي أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ فَنَسِيتُ ذَلِكَ وَقَدْ بَعَثْتُ إِلَيْكَ الْعَامَ عَنْ كُلِّ رَأْسٍ مِنْ عِيَالِي بِدِرْهَمٍ عَلَى قِيمَةِ تِسْعَةِ أَرْطَالٍ بِدِرْهَمٍ فَرَأْيُكَ جَعَلَنِيَ الله فِدَاكَ فِي ذَلِكَ فَكَتَبَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) الْفِطْرَةُ قَدْ كَثُرَ السُّؤَالُ عَنْهَا وَأَنَا أَكْرَهُ كُلَّ مَا أَدَّى إِلَى الشُّهْرَةِ فَاقْطَعُوا ذِكْرَ ذَلِكَ وَاقْبِضْ مِمَّنْ دَفَعَ لَهَا وَأَمْسِكْ عَمَّنْ لَمْ يَدْفَعْ.
