أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَظِیمِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْعَلَوِیِّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: تَارِکُ الزَّکَاهِ وَ قَدْ وَجَبَتْ لَهُ کَمَانِعِهَا وَ قَدْ وَجَبَتْ عَلَیْهِ.
1. My father رحمه الله said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Khalid from Abdul-Adheem from Abdillah al-Alawi from al-Hassan b. Ali from some of our companions from Abi Abdillah عليه السلام who said: “One who is needy and does not accept Zakat, is like one on whom Zakat has become obligatory and he is not paying it.”
