Chapter on the Virtue of Charity
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 2|Book 1|Chapter 20
وَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «اَلْبِرُّ وَ اَلصَّدَقَةُ يَنْفِيَانِ اَلْفَقْرَ وَ يَزِيدَانِ فِي اَلْعُمُرِ وَ يَدْفَعَانِ عَنْ صَاحِبِهِمَا سَبْعِينَ مِيتَةَ سَوْءٍ.
Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام said: "Goodness and charity eliminate poverty, increase lifespan, and protect their giver from seventy types of ill-fated deaths."
