8ـ حَمَّادُ بْنُ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّهُ يَجْتَمِعُ عِنْدِي الشَّيْءُ فَيَبْقَى نَحْواً مِنْ سَنَةٍ أَ نُزَكِّيهِ قَالَ لاَ كُلُّ مَا لَمْ يَحُلْ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَكَ الْحَوْلُ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ فِيهِ زَكَاةٌ وَكُلُّ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ رِكَازاً فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ فِيهِ شَيْءٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَمَا الرِّكَازُ قَالَ الصَّامِتُ الْمَنْقُوشُ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ ذَلِكَ فَاسْبِكْهُ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ فِي سَبَائِكِ الذَّهَبِ وَنِقَارِ الْفِضَّةِ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الزَّكَاةِ.
8. Hammad ibn ‘Isa has narrated from Hariz from Ali ibn Yaqtin who has said the following: “I once said to abu Ibrahim عليه السلام, certain things accumulate with me and remain for about a year. Is there Zakat on it? He (the Imam) said, ‘No, Zakat is not due on it. Use whatever is with you until one is passed, Zakat is not due on it and whatever is not rika’z you do not owe anything therefor.’ I then asked, ‘What is rika’z? He (the Imam) said, ‘It is solid with designs on it.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘If you like you can cast them because Zakat is not due on alloys of silver and gold.”’
