Hadith 172
۞
Hadith.1574 - Abdullah ibn Sinan reported from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) who said
"Indeed, Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, has ordained Zakat just as He has ordained prayer. If a man were to carry the Zakat and give it openly, there would be no fault upon him in that, because Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, has decreed for the poor in the wealth of the rich that which suffices them. And if He knew that what He has ordained for them would not suffice them, He would have increased it. The deprivation faced by the poor in what they are given stems from the refusal of those who withhold their rightful dues, not from the insufficiency of the obligation."
1574 - عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
«إِنَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَرَضَ اَلزَّكَاةَ كَمَا فَرَضَ اَلصَّلاَةَ فَلَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلاً حَمَلَ اَلزَّكَاةَ فَأَعْطَاهَا عَلاَنِيَةً لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَيْهِ فِي ذَلِكَ عَيْبٌ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَرَضَ لِلْفُقَرَاءِ فِي أَمْوَالِ اَلْأَغْنِيَاءِ مَا يَكْتَفُونَ بِهِ وَ لَوْ عَلِمَ أَنَّ اَلَّذِي فَرَضَ لَهُمْ لاَ يَكْفِيهِمْ لَزَادَهُمْ وَ إِنَّمَا يُؤْتَى اَلْفُقَرَاءُ فِيمَا أُوتُوا مِنْ مَنْعِ مَنْ مَنَعَهُمْ حُقُوقَهُمْ لاَ مِنَ اَلْفَرِيضَةِ».
