    1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Hisham ibn Salim who has said the following: “When it became dark and a part of the night had passed, abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, would pick up on his shoulder a sack of bread, meat and money and go to the needy people of al-Madinah, distribute it among them, and no one knew who he was. When abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, passed away, they missed him and realized that he (the helping person) was abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam.”

    3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Khalid from Sa‘dan ibn Muslim from Mu ’alia ibn Khunays who has said the following: “One rainy night, abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, went out to Zullah of banu Sa‘idah. I followed him and saw that some of his things fell down. He said, ‘Bismi Allah (by the name of Allah). O Lord, please return it back to us.’ I went to him and greeted him with the greetings of peace. He said, ‘Is it you, Mu‘alla’?’ I replied, ‘Yes, may Allah keep my soul in the service of your cause.’ He said. ‘Search with your hands and give us whatever you find.’ I found a great deal of bread spread around and kept giving whatever bread I found to him. I found a sack full of bread so heavy that I could not lift it up. I then said, ‘May Allah keep my soul in the service of your cause; allow me to pick it up on my head.’ He said, ‘No, I am more proper for this than you are, but come along with me.’ We then reached Zullah of banu Sa‘idah and found a whole company of people sleeping. He then began to make one or two breads available to each one to the last of them, in a way that no one else could see. We then returned and I asked, ‘May Allah keep my soul in the service of your cause, do these people know the truth (are they Shi‘a)?’ He replied, ‘Were they of those who know the truth, we would have joined them for bread with salt. Allah, the most Blessed, the most High, has made a treasurer for everything He has created, except charity. The Lord Himself is the treasurer thereof. When my father would give charity, he would place it in the hand of the person asking for help, then take it back from him, kiss and smell it, and then give it back to him. Giving charity during the night extinguishes the anger of the Lord, deletes the great sin and makes presentation of one’s accounts easier. Giving charity during the day increases one’s wealth and longevity of life. Jesus, son of Mary, when passing by the coastline of the ocean, threw a loaf of bread in the water. Someone among his disciples said, ‘O the Spirit and Word of Allah, why did you throw your bread in the water, it was your food for the day?’ Jesus replied, ‘I did it for the living things in the ocean that may eat it and the reward for it with Allah is great.’”

    3. Ahmad ibn Muhammad from has narrated from his father from Ali ibn Wahban from his uncle, Harun ibn ‘Isa who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, once said to his son, Muhammad, ‘Son, how much is left with you of that (money) for expenses?’ He replied, ‘Forty dinars are left.’ He said, ‘You should go out and give it away as charity.’ The son said, ‘No more money is left with me besides this.’ The Imam said, ‘You should give it as charity, Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, will replace it. Have you not noted that for everything there is a key, and the key to greater means of sustenance is giving charity, so give it as charity.’ The son followed the instruction. Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, waited for only ten days until he received four thousand dinars from a certain place. He then said, ‘Son, we gave Allah forty dinars and He has given us four thousand dinars.’”

Allah then took it away from him.’ Mu’ammar has said, ‘So and so was present at that time.’”

    1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan from al-Walid ibn Sabih who has said the following: “Once I was in the presence of abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, when someone came asking for help. He gave him charity, then another one came, he gave him charity, yet another came for help, and he gave him charity. Then one more came for help and he said, ‘Allah will provide you.’ The Imam then said, ‘One may possess thirty or forty thousand dirham and then decide to spend it for a true cause until nothing is left with him. So he becomes one of the three kinds of people whose prayers are not heard.’ I then asked, ‘Who are such people?’ He replied, ‘One of them is a man who has a certain amount of wealth that he spends improperly and then prays to Allah for more wealth. He is then asked, “Have We not created ways and means to accumulate wealth?”’ (There is a mention of the other two kinds of people in al-Kafi, vol. 2, part 2, book of prayer Chapter 32 Hadith 1).

He said, ‘Come back and allow me to tell you about something that I heard from Ja’far ibn Muhammad, ‘Alayhi al-Salam.’ I returned and he said to me, ‘I asked abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al- Salam, “Can I give the amount of zakat I owe to someone I trust so he can distribute among the needy?” He (the Imam) replied, ‘It is just fine. He receives a reward like the donors of charity. Salih has said, “I then took the dirhams back after hearing the Hadith, and distributed them (among the needy).”’”

Should he give preference to another person who does not have sustenance even for one day, or one month or one year, or in all cases, is there no blame in not giving preference because of sustenance being barely enough for himself? 5 He (the Imam) said, ‘There are two issues. Those of you who are more inclined to giving preference to others over themselves are excellent. Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, has said, “They give preference to others over themselves even though they themselves are in dire need.” (59:9) The other issue is that in not giving preference to others over themselves, they are not blamed; however, a providing hand has the upper hand over a non-providing hand, but you must begin with your dependents.’”
