Al-Kāfi|Volume 3|Book 5|Chapter 2
15ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ سَمِعَ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) يَقُولُ مَا ضَاعَ مَالٌ فِي بَرٍّ وَلاَ بَحْرٍ إِلاَّ بِتَضْيِيعِ الزَّكَاةِ وَلاَ يُصَادُ مِنَ الطَّيْرِ إِلاَّ مَا ضَيَّعَ تَسْبِيحَهُ.
15. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ali ibn al-Hassan from Ali ibn al-Nu‘man from Ishaq who has said the following: “Narrated to me one who had heard abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, saying, ‘A property is not lost, on land or in the sea, unless payment of its zakat is withheld. A bird does not become victim of hunting unless it forgets glorifying Allah.’”
