Chapter on the Virtue of Good Deeds
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 2|Book 1|Chapter 11
وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «اَلْمَعْرُوفُ شَيْءٌ سِوَى اَلزَّكَاةِ فَتَقَرَّبُوا إِلَى اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِالْبِرِّ وَ صِلَةِ اَلرَّحِمِ».
Imam عليه السلام said: “Kindness is something distinct from almsgiving; therefore, draw closer to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Glorious and Exalted, through acts of goodness and maintaining family ties."
