The Fay’, al-Anfal, al-Khums, its rules and the properties subject to al-Khums

27. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father who has said the following. “I was in the presence of abu Ja‘far al-Thani عليه السلام that Salih ibn Muhammad ibn Sahl came and he was his supervisor of endowments in Qumm. He said, “My master, wave to me ten thousand because I have already spent it.” The Imam عليه السلام said, “It is waved in your favor.” When Salih left then abu Ja‘far عليه السلام said as herein below. “Once one of them gets his hand on the property that belongs to Ahl al-Bayt of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, to their orphans, their destitute, to their needy and to those of them who become needy on a journey and then he comes to us and says, “Wave it in my favor.” Do you think I can say, “No, I will not wave it in your favor?” By Allah, Allah will soon ask them on the Day of Judgment without any concession.”
