20. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Ismail b. Bazee’ from Muhammad b. Adhafir from ’Amru b. Yazid from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said
Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) was asked, “Should we give Sadaqah to beggars or to our near relatives?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Give it to your near relatives for it carries greater reward.”

سُئِلَ عَنِ الصَّدَقَهِ عَلَی مَنْ یَسْأَلُ عَلَی الْأَبْوَابِ أَوْ یُمْسِکُ ذَلِکَ عَنْهُمْ وَ یُعْطِیهِ ذَوِی قَرَابَتِهِ فَقَالَ لَا بَلْ یَبْعَثُ بِهَا إِلَی مَنْ بَیْنَهُ وَ بَیْنَهُ قَرَابَهٌ فَهَذَا أَعْظَمُ لِلْأَجْرِ.
