Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘Fatima (AS) had some barley which she made into a sweet paste. When they had finished cooking it and placed it on the table, a poor man came and said, ‘May Allah have mercy upon you. So Ali (AS) stood up and gave him a third of it. Soon afterwards, an orphan came and said, ‘May Allah have mercy upon you. Ali (AS) stood up and gave him a third. Soon afterwards, a prisoner of war came and said, ‘May Allah have mercy upon you. So Ali (AS) gave him the last third, and they did not even taste it. So Allah, the Exalted, sent down the Quranic verses honouring them, and they apply to every believer who does the same for the sake of Allah, the Exalted.
ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ في قَولِهِ تَعالى: وَ يُطْعِمُونَ الطَّعَامَ عَلَى حُبِّهِ مِسْكِينًا وَ يَتِيمًا وَ أَسِيرًا ـ: كانَ عِندَ فاطِمَةَ (عَلَيهَا الّسَلامُ) شَعيرٌ، فَجَعَلوهُ عَصيدَةً، فَلَمّا أنضَجوها ووَضَعوها بَينَ أيديهِم جاءَ مِسكينٌ، فَقالَ المِسكينُ: رَحِمَكُمُ اللّهُ! أطعِمونا مِمّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللّهُ، فَقامَ عَلِيٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) فَأَعطاهُ ثُلُثَها. فَما لَبِثَ أن جاءَ يَتيمٌ، فَقالَ اليَتيمُ: رَحِمَكُمُ اللّهُ ! أطعِمونا مِمّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللّهُ، فَقامَ عَلِيٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) فَأَعطاهُ ثُلُثَهَا الثّانِيَ. فَما لَبِثَ أن جاءَ أسيرٌ، فَقالَ الأَسيرُ: يَرحَمُكُمُ اللّهُ ! أطعِمونا مِمّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللّهُ، فَقامَ عَلِيٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) فَأعطاهُ الثُّلُثَ الباقِيَ، وما ذاقوها. فَأَنزَلَ اللّهُ فيهِم هذِهِ الآيَةَ إلى قَولِهِ: وَ كَانَ سَعْيُكُم مَّشْكُورًا.
