Hadith.1597 - Asim ibn Humayd reported from Abu Basir, who said
I said to Abu Ja’far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) "A man from among our companions feels embarrassed to take from Zakat. Can I give it to him without telling him that it is from Zakat?" The Imam (as) replied: "Give it to him without mentioning that it is Zakat, and do not humiliate the believer."
1597 - رَوَى عَاصِمُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلرَّجُلُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا يَسْتَحْيِي أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مِنَ اَلزَّكَاةِ فَأُعْطِيهِ مِنَ اَلزَّكَاةِ وَ لاَ أُسَمِّي لَهُ أَنَّهَا مِنَ اَلزَّكَاةِ فَقَالَ «أَعْطِهِ وَ لاَ تُسَمِّ لَهُ وَ لاَ تُذِلَّ اَلْمُؤْمِنَ ».
