Hadith.3713 - Al-Sakuni narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), from his forefathers (peace be upon them) who said
A man came to Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) and said: "I have earned wealth, but I was not careful in seeking it, whether it was lawful or unlawful. Now I wish to repent, but I do not know what portion of it is lawful and what is unlawful, as it has become mixed."
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "Take out one-fifth of your wealth, for Allah (swt), the Mighty and Exalted, has accepted one-fifth from a person, and the rest of the wealth is entirely lawful for you."
3713 - وَ رَوَى اَلسَّكُونِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَلَيْهِمُ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
"أَتَى رَجُلٌ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقَالَ إِنِّي كَسَبْتُ مَالاً أَغْمَضْتُ فِي طَلَبِهِ حَلاَلاً وَ حَرَاماً فَقَدْ أَرَدْتُ اَلتَّوْبَةَ وَ لاَ أَدْرِي اَلْحَلاَلَ مِنْهُ وَ لاَ اَلْحَرَامَ فَقَدِ اِخْتَلَطَ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "أَخْرِجْ خُمُسَ مَالِكَ فَإِنَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَدْ رَضِيَ مِنَ اَلْإِنْسَانِ بِالْخُمُسِ وَ سَائِرُ اَلْمَالِ كُلُّهُ لَكَ حَلاَلٌ" ".
