The Obligation of al-Zakat (charity) and Necessary Payments from Properties
6ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مَرَّارٍ عَنْ مُبَارَكٍ الْعَقَرْقُوفِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) إِنَّ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَضَعَ الزَّكَاةَ قُوتاً لِلْفُقَرَاءِ وَتَوْفِيراً لأَمْوَالِكُمْ.
6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Isma’il ibn Marrar from Mubarak al-‘Aqarqufiy who has said the following: “Abu al-Hassan عليه السلام, has said, ‘Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, has made zakat as means of living for the needy and to increase your properties.’”
