19ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) عَنِ الْكَنْزِ كَمْ فِيهِ قَالَ الْخُمُسُ وَعَنِ الْمَعَادِنِ كَمْ فِيهَا قَالَ الْخُمُسُ وَكَذَلِكَ الرَّصَاصُ وَالصُّفْرُ وَالْحَدِيدُ وَكُلُّ مَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمَعَادِنِ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهَا مَا يُؤْخَذُ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ.
19. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayar from Hammad from abu ‘Abdallah عليه السلام who has said the following about how much al-Khums is on treasures. “One fifth of treasure found is paid as al-Khums.” The question said, “How much is on minerals?” The Imam عليه السلام said, “one fifth. So is lead, zinc and iron. All minerals are like gold and silver on which the religious due is one fifth.”
