Hadith 540
۞
16. Abi (rah) from Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Abi Nasr from Muhammad b. Sama’a from Ibn Mihran from his father from Abi Basir from one of them who said
The narrator asked Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) or Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.), “Which Sadaqah is the best?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Sadaqah given from a little wealth. Didn’t you hear Allah’s saying: ‘and prefer (them) before themselves though poverty may afflict them’? Do you realize its excellence now?”
أَبِی ره عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِی نَصْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَمَاعَهَ عَنِ ابْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ أَبِی بَصِیرٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا قَالَ
قُلْتُ لَهُ أَیُّ الصَّدَقَهِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ جُهْدُ الْمُقِلِّ أَ مَا سَمِعْتَ قَوْلَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- وَ یُؤْثِرُونَ عَلی أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَ لَوْ کانَ بِهِمْ خَصاصَهٌ تَرَی هَاهُنَا فَضْلًا.
