Reward of giving Sadaqah
Thawāb al-Aʿmāl wa ʿiqāb al-Aʿmāl|Volume 1|Book 2|Chapter 293
أَبِی ره عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِی نَصْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَمَاعَهَ عَنِ ابْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ أَبِی بَصِیرٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ أَیُّ الصَّدَقَهِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ جُهْدُ الْمُقِلِّ أَ مَا سَمِعْتَ قَوْلَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- وَ یُؤْثِرُونَ عَلی أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَ لَوْ کانَ بِهِمْ خَصاصَهٌ تَرَی هَاهُنَا فَضْلًا.
16. Abi رحمه الله from Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Abi Nasr from Muhammad b. Sama’a from Ibn Mihran from his father from Abi Basir from one of them who said: The narrator asked Imam Muhammad Baqir عليه السلام or Imam Ja’far Sadiq عليه السلام, “Which Sadaqah is the best?” Imam عليه السلام replied, “Sadaqah given from a little wealth. Didn’t you hear Allah’s saying: ‘and prefer (them) before themselves though poverty may afflict them’? Do you realize its excellence now?”
