(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja far asws having said: If I asws were to perform a Hajj, it would be more beloved to me asws than if I asws were to free a neck, and a neck until he asws ended up to ten, and similar to it, and similar to it until it ends up to seventy; and if I asws were to support a family from the Muslims, satiate their hunger, and clothe their nakedness, and restrain their faces from the people, it would be more beloved to me asws than if I asws were to perform a Hajj, and a Hajj, and a Hajj, until it ends up to ten, and ten, and ten, and similar to it, and similar to it, until it ends up to seventy. 3 ع د ة م ن أ ص ح اب ن ا ع ن س ل ب ن ز ي اد ع ن الن و ف ل ي ع ن الس ك ون ي ع ن أ ب ي ع ب د للا ( عليه السالم ) ق ال ق ال ر س ول للا ( صلى للا عليه وآله ) م ن ص د ق ب ال خ ل ف ج اد ب ال ع ط ي ة. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuny, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws having said: Rasool-Allah saww said: The one who is certain of the Replacement would be generous with the giving. 4 ع ل ي ب ن م ح م د ع ن أ ح م د ب ن م ح م د ع ن م ح م د ب ن خ ال د ع ن ع ب د للا ب ن ال ق اس م ع ن ع ب د للا ب ن س ن ان ق ال ق ال أ ب و ع ب د للا ( عليه السالم ) د او وا م ر ض اك م ب الص د ق ة و اد ف ع وا ال ب ال ء ب الد ع اء و اس ت ن ز ل وا الر ز ق ب الص د ق ة ف إ ن ا ت ف ك م ن ب ي ن ل ح ي س ب ع م ائ ة ش ي ط ان و ل ي س ش ي ء أ ث ق ل ع ل ى الش ي ط ان م ن الص د ق ة ع ل ى ا لم ؤ م ن و ه ي ت ق ع ف ي ي د الر ب ت ب ار ك و ت ع ال ى ق ب ل أ ن ت ق ع ف ي ي د ال ع ب د. Ali Bin Muhammad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Abdullah Bin Al Qasim, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said, Abu Abdullah asws said: Treat your sick ones with the charity and repel the afflictions with the supplication, and cause the sustenance to descend with the charity. Charity finds its way through the beards of seven hundred devils, and there is nothing heavier upon the Satan la than the charity upon the Believer, and it falls into the Hand of the Lord azwj Blessed and High before it falls into the hand of the servant. 5 أ ح م د ب ن ع ب د للا ع ن ج د ه ع ن م ح م د ب ن ع ل ي ع ن م ح م د ب ن ال ف ض ي ل ع ن ع ب د الر ح م ن ب ن ز ي د ع ن أ ب ي ع ب د للا ( عليه السالم ) ق ال ق ال ر س ول للا ( صلى للا عليه وآله ) أ ر ض ال ق ي ام ة ن ار م ا خ ال ظ ل ال م ؤ م ن ف إ ن ص د ق ت ه ت ظ ل ه. Ahmad Bin Abdullah, from his grandfather, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Muhammad Bin Al Fuzayl, from Abdul Rahman Bin Zayd, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws having said: Rasool-Allah saww said: The land of the Day of Judgement is Fire except what shades the Believer, for his charity would shade him. 6 ع ل ي ب ن إ ب ر اه يم ع ن أ ب يه ع ن اب ن أ ب ي ع م ي ر ع ن ع ب د للا ب ن س ن ان ق ال س م ع ت أ ب ا ع ب د للا ( عليه السالم ) ي ق ول الص د ق ة ب ال ي د ت ق ي م يت ة الس و ء و ت د ف ع س ب ع ين ن و عا م ن أ ن و اع ال ب ال ء و ت ف ك ع ن ل ح ي س ب ع ين ش ي ط انا ك ل م ي أ م ر ه أ ن ل ي ف ع ل.

I heard Abu Abdullah asws saying: The charity with the hand negates the evil death and repels seventy types from the types of the afflictions, and it (charity) finds its way through the beards of seventy devils, all of them instructing him that he should not do so. 7 م ح م د ب ن ي ح ي ى ع ن أ ح م د ب ن م ح م د ب ن ع يس ى ع ن ع ل ي ب ن الن ع م ان ع ن م ع او ي ة ب ن ع م ار ق ال س م ع ت أ ب ا ع ب د للا ( عليه السالم ) ي ق ول ك ان ف ي و ص ي ة الن ب ي ( صلى للا عليه وآله ) ل م ير ال م ؤ م ن ين ص ل و ات للا و س ال م ه ع ل ي ه و أ م ا الص د ق ة ف ج د ك ج د ك ح ت ى ي ق ال ق د أ س ر ف ت و ل م ت س ر ف. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al No man, form Muawiya Bin Ammar who said, I heard Abu Abdullah asws saying: It was in the bequest of the Prophet saww to Amir Al- Momineen asws and his saww greetings upon him asws : And as for the charity, so you asws should strive with such a striving until it is said, He asws has been extravagant, and you asws would not be extravagant. 8 ( عليه السالم ) ع ل ي ب ن إ ب ر اه يم ع ن أ ب يه ع ن اب ن أ ب ي ع م ي ر ع ن ع ب د للا ب ن س ن ان ع ن أ ب ي ع ب د للا ي س ت ح ب ل ل م ر يض أ ن ي ع ط ي الس ائ ل ب ي د ه و ي أ م ر الس ائ ل أ ن ي د ع و ل ه. ق ال س م ع ت ه ي ق ول Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws, said, I heard him asws saying: It is recommended for the sick one that he should give the beggar with his own hands, and he should instruct the beggar that he supplicates for him. 9 ع د ة م ن أ ص ح اب ن ا ع ن أ ح م د ب ن أ ب ي ع ب د للا ع ن م ح م د ب ن ع ل ي ع ن م ح م د ب ن ع م ر ب ن ي ز يد ق ال أ خ ب ر ت أ ب ا ال ح س ن الر ض ا ( عليه السالم ) أ ن ي أ ص ب ت ب اب ن ي ن و ب ق ي ل ي ب ن ي ص غ ير ف ق ال ت ص د ق ع ن ه ث م ق ال ح ين ح ض ر ق ي ام ي م ر الص ب ي ف ل ي ت ص د ق ب ي د ه ع ز و ج ل ب ال ك س ر ة و ال ق ب ض ة و الش ي ء و إ ن ق ل ف إ ن ك ل ش يء ي ر اد ب ه للا و إ ن ق ل ب ع د أ ن ت ص د ق الن ي ة ف يه ع ظ يم إ ن للا ي ق ول ف م ن ي ع م ل م ث قال ذ ر ة خ ي را ي ر ه و م ن ي ع م ل م ث قال ذ ر ة ش ر ا ي ر ه A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Muhammad Bin Umar Bin Yazeed who said, I informed Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza asws that I have been hit by (the death of) two sons, and there remains for me one young son. So he asws said: Give charity on his behalf. Then he asws said when I was about to arise, Instruct the child so let him give the charity with his own hands, with the bread, and the handful (of foodstuff), and the thing, be it little, for everything by which Allah azwj is intended even though it may be little after the sincerity of the intention in it, is great. Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic is Saying [99:7] So, he who has done a little of good shall see it [9:8] And he who has done a little of evil shall see it. و ق ال ف ال اق ت ح م ال ع ق ب ة و ما أ د راك م ا ال ع ق ب ة ف ك ر ق ب ة أ و إ ط عام ف ي ي و م ذ ي م س غ ب ة ي ت يما ذا م ق ر ب ة أ و م س ك ينا ذا م ت ر ب ة ع ل م للا ع ز و ج ل أ ن ك ل أ ح د ل ي ق د ر ع ل ى ف ك ر ق ب ة ف ج ع ل إ ط ع ام ال ي ت يم و ال م س ك ين م ث ل ذ ل ك ت ص د ق ع ن ه. 7 Al Kafi V 4 The Book of Zakaat Ch 48 H 7 8 Al Kafi V 4 The Book of Zakaat Ch 48 H 8 9 Al Kafi V 4 The Book of Zakaat Ch 48 H 9 6 out of 46
And He azwj Said [90:11] But he would not attempt the uphill road, [90:12] And what will make you comprehend what the uphill road is? [90:13] (It is) the setting free of a slave, [90:14] Or the giving of food in a day of hunger [90:15] To an orphan, having relationship, [90:16] Or to the poor man lying in the dust. Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic Knows that everyone is not able upon freeing a neck, so He azwj Made feeding the orphan and the poor as being similar to that. Give charity on his behalf. 10 غ ي ر و اح د م ن أ ص ح اب ن ا ع ن أ ح م د ب ن أ ب ي ع ب د للا ع ن غ ي ر و اح د ع ن أ ب ي ج م يل ة ع ن أ ب ي ع ب د للا ( عليه السالم ) ق ال ق ال ر س ول للا ( صلى للا عليه وآله ) ت ص د ق وا و ل و ب ص اع م ن ت م ر و ل و ب ب ع ض ص اع و ل و ب ق ب ض ة و ل و ب ب ع ض ق ب ض ة و ل و ب ت م ر ة و ل و ب ش ق ت م ر ة ف م ن ل م ي ج د ف ب ك ل م ة ل ي ن ة Someone else from our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from someone else, from Abu Jameela, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws having said: Rasool-Allah saww said: Give charity and even if it is with a Sa a (a unit of measurement) of dates, and even if it is with part of a Sa a, and even if it is with a handful, and even if it is part of a handful, and even if it is with one date, and even if it is with a part of a date. So the one who cannot find (even that), so with soft words. ف ق ائ ل ل ه أ ل م أ ف ع ل ب ك أ ل م أ ج ع ل ك س م يعا ب ص يرا أ ل م أ ج ع ل ل ك م ا ل و و ل دا ف ي ق ول ب ل ى ف ي ق ول للا ت ب ار ك و ف إ ن أ ح د ك م ل ق للا ت ع ال ى ف ان ظ ر م ا ق د م ت ل ن ف س ك ق ال ف ي ن ظ ر ق د ام ه و خ ل ف ه و ع ن ي م ين ه و ع ن ش م ال ه ف ال ي ج د ش ي ئا ي ق ي ب ه و ج ه م ن الن ار. So when one of you meet Allah azwj, it would be Said to him: Did I azwj not Do (such and such) with you? Did I azwj not Make for you hearing, sight? Did I azwj not Make wealth and children to be for you? So he would be saying, Yes. So Allah azwj Blessed and High would be Saying: So look what you have sent for yourself. He asws said: So he would look in front of him, and behind him, and on his right, and on his left, so he would not find anything with which he could save his face from the Fire. 11 Chapter 49 The charity repels the affliction ب اب أ ن الص د ق ة ت د ف ع ال ب ال ء ع د ة م ن أ ص ح اب ن ا ع ن س ل ب ن ز ي اد ع ن ال ح س ن ب ن م ح ب وب ع ن أ ب ي و ل د ق ال س م ع ت أ ب ا ع ب د للا ( عليه السالم ) ي ق ول ب ك ر وا ب الص د ق ة و ار غ ب وا ف ي ا ف م ا م ن م ؤ م ن ي ت ص د ق ب ص د ق ة ي ر يد ب ا م ا ع ن د للا ل ي د ف ع للا ب ا ع ن ه ش ر م ا ي ن ز ل م ن الس م ا ء إ ل ى ا ل ر ض ف ي ذ ل ك ال ي و م إ ل و ق اه للا ش ر م ا ي ن ز ل م ن الس م اء إ ل ى ا ل ر ض ف ي ذ ل ك ال ي و م. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Abu Wallad who said, I heard Abu Abdullah asws saying: Arise early with the charity and be desirous (eager) in it. There is no Believer who gives charity intending by it what is in the Presence of Allah azwj, Allah azwj would Repel by it from him the evil of whatever descends from the 10 Al Kafi V 4 The Book of Zakaat Ch 48 H 10 11 Al Kafi V 4 The Book of Zakaat Ch 48 H 11 7 out of 46

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuny, (It has been narrated) from Ja far asws from his asws forefathers asws who said: Rasool- Allah saww said: Allah azwj, there is no god except for Him azwj, Repels with the charity, the disease and the boils, and the burning and the drowning, and the destruction and the insanity, and he asws counted seventy doors (aspects) from the evil. 13 ع ل ي ب ن م ح م د ع ن أ ح م د ب ن م ح م د ع ن م ح م د ب ن ع ل ي ع ن ع ب د الر ح م ن ب ن م ح م د ا ل س د ي ع ن س ال م ب ن م ك ر م ع ن أ ب ي ع ب د للا ( عليه السالم ) ق ال م ر ي ود ي ب الن ب ي ( صلى للا عليه وآله ) ف ق ال الس ام ع ل ي ك ف ق ال ر س ول للا ( صلى للا عليه وآله ) ع ل ي ك ف ق ال أ ص ح اب ه إ ن م ا س ل م ع ل ي ك ب ال م و ت ق ال ال م و ت ع ل ي ك ق ال الن ب ي ( صلى للا عليه وآله ) و ك ذ ل ك ر د د ت Ali Bin Muhammad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Abdul Rahman Bin Muhammad Al Asady, from Salim Bin Mukram, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws having said: A Jew passed by the Prophet saww, so he said, The poison (Al-Saam) be upon you saww. So Rasool- Allah saww said: Upon you. So his saww companions said, But rather, he greeted upon you with the death. He said, The poison be upon you saww. The Prophet saww said: And such is how I saww responded. ث م ق ال الن ب ي ( صلى للا عليه وآله ) إ ن ه ذ ا ال ي ود ي ي ع ض ه أ س و د ف ي ق ف اه ف ي ق ت ل ه ق ال ف ذ ه ب ال ي ود ي ف اح ت ط ب ح ط با ك ث يرا ف اح ت م ل ه ث م ل م ي ل ب ث أ ن ان ص ر ف ف ق ال ل ه ر س ول للا ( صلى للا عليه وآله ) ض ع ه ف و ض ع ال ح ط ب ف إ ذ ا أ س و د ف ي ج و ف ال ح ط ب ع اض ع ل ى ع ود ف ق ال ي ا ي ود ي م ا ع م ل ت ال ي و م ق ال م ا ع م ل ت ع م ال إ ل ح ط ب ي ه ذ ا اح ت م ل ت ه ف ج ئ ت ب ه و ك ان م ع ي ك ع ك ت ا ن ف أ ك ل ت و اح د ة و ت ص د ق ت ب و اح د ة ع ل ى م س ك ين ف ق ال ر س ول للا ( صلى للا عليه وآله ) ب ا د ف ع للا ع ن ه و ق ال إ ن الص د ق ة ت د ف ع ن س ان. م يت ة الس و ء ع ن ا ل Then the Prophet saww said: This Jew will be stung by the black snake in the scruff of his neck, so he would be killed. So the Jew went away and gathered a lot of firewood and carried it. Then it was not long before he passed by. So Rasool- Allah saww said to him: Place it down. So he placed the firewood down, and there was a black snake in the middle of the firewood biting upon a stick. So he saww said: O Jew! What did you do today? He said, I have not done any deed except for this firewood of mine which I was carrying. So I went over with it and there were two cakes with me, so I ate one of them and gave one in charity to a poor one. So Rasool-Allah saww said: By it Allah azwj has Repelled from it. And he saww said: The charity repels the evil death from the human being. 14 ( عليه السالم ) ( عليه السالم ) ع ل ي ب ن إ ب ر اه يم ع ن أ ب يه ع ن الن و ف ل ي ع ن الس ك ون ي ع ن أ ب ي ع ب د للا ي ر و ن أ ن الص د ق ة ت د ف ع ب ا ع ن الر ج ل الظ ل وم. ق ال ق ال ع ل ي ك ان وا 12 Al Kafi V 4 The Book of Zakaat Ch 49 H 1 13 Al Kafi V 4 The Book of Zakaat Ch 49 H 2 14 Al Kafi V 4 The Book of Zakaat Ch 49 H 3 8 out of 46

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Abdul Rahman Bin Hammad, from Hanan Bin Sudeyr, from his father, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja far asws having said: The charity tends to repel seventy afflictions from the afflictions of the world, along with the evil death. Its performer would not be dying an evil death, ever, along with whatever has been Hoarded for its performer in the Hereafter. 17 ( عليه السالم ) ع ل ي ب ن إ ب ر اه يم ع ن أ ب يه ع ن اب ن أ ب ي ع م ي ر ع ن ب ش ر ب ن س ل م ة ع ن م س م ع ب ن ع ب د ال م ل ك ع ن أ ب ي ع ب د للا ق ال م ن ت ص د ق ب ص د ق ة ح ين ي ص ب ح أ ذ ه ب للا ع ن ه ن ح س ذ ل ك ال ي و م.

Then he (the narrator) said, Abu Ja far asws said: There was a man from the Children of Israel who had a son for him, and was beloved to him. So, someone came in his dream and said to him, Your son, on the night he sleeps with his wife, he would die. So when it was that night in particular, and his father had built upon it, so that prediction occurred to his father. But, in the morning, his son was safe. So his father went over to him and said to him, O my son! Did you do anything from the goodness yesterday? He said, No, except that a beggar came to the door, and I had hoarded some food for me, so I gave it to the beggar. So he said, By this, Allah azwj has Repelled it from you. 19 س ن اد ع ن ع ل ي ب ن أ س ب اط ع م ن ر و اه ع ن أ ب ي ع ب د للا ( عليه السالم ) ق ال ك ان ب ي ن ي و ب ي ن ر ج ل ق س م ة أ ر ض و و ب ذ ا ا ل ك ان الر ج ل ص اح ب ن ج وم و ك ان ي ت و خ ى س اع ة الس ع ود ف ي خ ر ج ف ي ا و أ خ ر ج أ ن ا ف ي س اع ة الن ح وس ف اق ت س م ن ا ف خ ر ج ل ي خ ي ر ال ق س م ي ن ف ض ر ب الر ج ل ي د ه ال ي م ن ى ع ل ى ال ي س ر ى ث م ق ال م ا ر أ ي ت ك ال ي و م ق ط ق ل ت و ي ل ا ل خ ر و م ا ذ اك ق ال إ ن ي ص اح ب ن ج وم أ خ ر ج ت ك ف ي س اع ة الن ح وس و خ ر ج ت أ ن ا ف ي س اع ة الس ع ود ث م ق س م ن ا ف خ ر ج ل ك خ ي ر ال ق س م ي ن And by this chain, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from the one who reported it, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws, having said, There was a piece of land between me asws and a man, and the man was an astrologer, and he used to determine the lucky time so he would go out in it, and he determined for me asws an inauspicious time to go out in. So we divided (our profits), and the better half came out for me asws. So the man struck his right hand upon the left, then said, I have not seen a day like today at all! I said, Woe be unto others, and what is that? He said, I am an astrologer. I made you asws come out in the inauspicious time, and I went out during a lucky time. Then we divided (our profits), so the better of the two divisions came out for you asws!. ف ق ل ت أ ل أ ح د ث ك ب ح د يث ح د ث ن ي ب ه أ ب ي ق ال ق ال ر س ول للا ( صلى للا عليه وآله ) م ن س ر ه أ ن ي د ف ع للا ع ن ه ن ح س ي و م ه ف ل ي ف ت ت ح ي و م ه ب ص د ق ة ي ذ ه ب للا ب ا ع ن ه ن ح س ي و م ه و م ن أ ح ب أ ن ي ذ ه ب للا ع ن ه ن ح س ل ي ل ت ه ف ل ي ف ت ت ح ل ي ل ت ه ب ص د ق ة ي د ف ع للا ع ن ه ن ح س ل ي ل ت ه ف ق ل ت و إ ن ي اف ت ت ح ت خ ر وج ي ب ص د ق ة ف ذ ا خ ي ر ل ك م ن ع ل م الن ج وم.

Allah azwj would Remove by it, from him, the inauspciousness of his day. And the one who loved that Allah azwj should Remove from him the inauspiciousness of his night, so let him open his night with charity. Allah azwj would Repel from him the inauscpiciousness of his night. And I asws said: And I asws opened my going out with a charity. So this would have been better for you than your knowledge of the stars. 20 19 Al Kafi V 4 The Book of Zakaat Ch 49 H 8 20 Al Kafi V 4 The Book of Zakaat Ch 49 H 9 10 out of 46

The charity (given) in secret is superior than the charity in the open, and similar to that, by Allah azwj, is the worship in the secrecy being superior than it is in the open. 24 ع د ة م ن أ ص ح اب ن ا ع ن أ ح م د ب ن أ ب ي ع ب د للا ع ن أ ب يه ع ن ص ف و ان ب ن ي ح ي ى ع ن ع ب د للا ب ن ال و ل يد ال و ص اف ي ع ن أ ب ي ج عف ر ( عليه السالم ) ق ال ق ال ر س ول للا ( صلى للا عليه وآله ) ص د ق ة الس ر ت ط ف ئ غ ض ب الر ب ت ب ار ك و ت ع ال ى.

So he asws said: O Allah azwj, Return it to us asws. ق ال ف أ ت ي ت ه ف س ل م ت ع ل ي ه ق ال ف ق ال م ع ل ى ق ل ت ن ع م ج ع ل ت ف د اك ف ق ال ل ي ال ت م س ب ي د ك فم ا و ج د ت م ن ش يء ف اد ف ع ه إ ل ي ف إ ذ ا أ ن ا ب خ ب ز م ن ت ش ر ك ث ير ف ج ع ل ت أ د ف ع إ ل ي ه م ا و ج د ت ف إ ذ ا أ ن ا ب ج ر اب أ ع ج ز ع ن ح م ل ه م ن خ ب ز ف ق ل ت ج ع ل ت ف د اك أ ح م ل ه ع ل ى ر أ س ي ف ق ال ل أ ن ا أ و ل ى ب ه م ن ك و ل ك ن ام ض م ع ي He (the narrator) said, So I followed him asws and greeted him asws. So he asws said: Moalla? I said, Yes, may I be sacrificed for you asws. So he asws said to me: Seek with your hands, so whatever you find from anything, hand it over to me asws. I found a lot of pieces of bread, and I went on handing these over to him asws, whatever I found. So then I was with a basket of bread which I was frustrated from carrying it, so I said, May I be sacrificed for you asws! Carry it upon my head. So he asws said: No, I asws am first with it than you are, but come with me asws. ق ال ف أ ت ي ن ا ظ ل ة ب ن ي س اع د ة ف إ ذ ا ن ح ن ب ق و م ن ي ام ف ج ع ل ي د س الر غ يف و الر غ يف ي ن ح ت ى أ ت ى ع ل ى آخ ر ه م ث م ان ص ر ف ن ا ف ق ل ت ج ع ل ت ف د اك ي ع ر ف ه ؤ ل ء ال ح ق ف ق ال ل و ع ر ف وه ل و اس ي ن اه م ب الد ق ة و الد ق ة ه ي ال م ل ح He (the narrator) said, So we came over to a canopy of the Clan of Saeeda, and we were with a group of people sleeping. So he asws went on to tuck the bread, and two breads until he asws came to the last of them. Then we left, so I said, May I be sacrificed for you asws! Do they recognise the Truth? So he asws said, If they had recognised it, I asws would have consoled them with the delicacy, and the delicacy, it is the salt. ت ب ار ك و ت ع ال ى ل م ي خ ل ق ش ي ئا إ ل و ل ه خ از ن ي خ ز ن ه إ ل الص د ق ة ف إ ن الر ب ي ل ي ا ب ن ف س ه و ك ان أ ب ي إ ذ ا ت ص د ق ب ش ي ء إ ن للا و ض ع ه ف ي ي د الس ائ ل ث م ار ت د ه م ن ه ف ق ب ل ه و ش م ه ث م ر د ه ف ي ي د الس ائ ل إ ن ص د ق ة الل ي ل ت ط ف ئ غ ض ب الر ب و ت م ح و الذ ن ب ال ع ظ يم و ت و ن ال ح س اب و ص د ق ة الن ار ت ث م ر ال م ال و ت ز يد ف ي ال ع م ر Allah azwj Blessed and High did not Create anything except there is a treasurer for it treasuring it, except for the charity, for the Lord azwj Pursues it by Himself saww, and my asws father asws, when he asws gave something in charity, would place it in the hand of the beggar, then retract from it, so he asws would kiss it, and smell it, then return it in the hand of the beggar. A charity at night extinguishes the Anger of the Lord azwj, and obliterates the major sins, and makes the Reckoning easier; and the charity by the day yields the wealth and increases in the life span. 27 Al Kafi V 4 The Book of Zakaat Ch 51 H 2 13 out of 46
