سُئِلَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنْ قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ «مَنْ ذَا اَلَّذِي يُقْرِضُ اَللّٰهَ قَرْضاً حَسَناً » قَالَ «نَزَلَتْ فِي صِلَةِ اَلْإِمَامِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ ».
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام was asked about the saying of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty: "Who is it that will lend to Allah سبحانه وتعالى a goodly loan?" Imam عليه السلام said: "It was revealed concerning the support of the Imam عليه السلام."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «دِرْهَمٌ يُوصَلُ بِهِ اَلْإِمَامُ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ أَلْفِ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ يُنْفَقُ فِي غَيْرِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ».
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "A dirham given to support the Imam is better than a million dirhams spent on others in the way of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «مَنْ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ عَلَى صِلَتِنَا فَلْيَصِلْ صَالِحِي شِيعَتِنَا يُكْتَبْ لَهُ ثَوَابُ صِلَتِنَا وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ عَلَى زِيَارَتِنَا فَلْيَزُرْ صَالِحِي مَوَالِينَا يُكْتَبْ لَهُ ثَوَابُ زِيَارَتِنَا».
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "Whoever is unable to support us should support the righteous among our Shia; it will be written for him as the reward of supporting us. And whoever is unable to visit us should visit the righteous among our followers; it will be written for him as the reward of visiting us."
