7ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَمْنَعُ دِرْهَماً فِي حَقِّهِ إِلاَّ أَنْفَقَ اثْنَيْنِ فِي غَيْرِ حَقِّهِ وَمَا رَجُلٌ يَمْنَعُ حَقّاً مِنْ مَالِهِ إِلاَّ طَوَّقَهُ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِهِ حَيَّةً مِنْ نَارٍ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.
7. Afi ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Hariz from ‘ Ubayd ibn Zurarah who has said the following: “I heard abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, say, ‘If one dirham of rights of a person is denied it can cause double of this much to be spent elsewhere. If anyone refuses to pay a right which is due on his wealth, Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, because of this will cause a serpent of fire to curl around him on the Day of Judgment.’”
