14ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأشْعَرِيُّ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ مَنْ مَنَعَ قِيرَاطاً مِنَ الزَّكَاةِ فَلْيَمُتْ إِنْ شَاءَ يَهُودِيّاً أَوْ نَصْرَانِيّاً.
14. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from those whom he has mentioned from Hafs ibn ‘Umar from Salim from abu Basir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said that one (Muslim) who does not pay zakat dies as a Jew or a Christian; (he is given the chance to choose).”
