9ـ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ الامَامُ يُجْرِي وَيُنَفِّلُ وَيُعْطِي مَا شَاءَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَقَعَ السِّهَامُ وَقَدْ قَاتَلَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) بِقَوْمٍ لَمْ يَجْعَلْ لَهُمْ فِي الْفَيْ‏ءِ نَصِيباً وَإِنْ شَاءَ قَسَمَ ذَلِكَ بَيْنَهُمْ.
9. Ali has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Jamil from Zurara who has said the following. “The Imam has the right before the distribution to spend form (booties of war), give as gift, grants and other causes. The Messenger of Allah had a confrontation with a people and he did not leave anything for them from al-Fay’. He may have given them a share if he would have wanted.”
