Hadith 442
۞
4. We were told by Muhammed bin Ali Majilawayh, from his paternal uncle, Muhammed bin Abi’l-Qasem, from Muhammed bin Ali al-Kufi, from Abu Jameela, from Jabir, from Abu Ja’far, peace be upon him, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said
The stingy is not the one who gives the obligatory alms tax from his property and grants the final to his people. Rather, the stingy, the truly stingy, is the one who prevents (the deduction of) the obligatory alms tax from his property, and who prevents (the giving of) the final to his people, and who spendthrifts in other than that.
حدثنا محمد بن علي ماجيلويه، عن عمه محمد بن أبي القاسم، عن محمد بن علي الكوفي، عن أبي جميلة، عن جابر، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال
قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: ليس البخيل من يؤدي - أو الذي يؤدي – الزكاة المفروضة من ماله ويعطي البائنة في قومه وإنما البخيل حق البخيل الذي يمنع الزكاة المفروضة من ماله ويمنع البائنة في قومه و هو في ما سوى ذلك يبذر.
