Chapter on the Virtue of Charity
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 2|Book 1|Chapter 20
وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «بَاكِرُوا بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَإِنَّ اَلْبَلاَيَا لاَ تَتَخَطَّاهَا وَ مَنْ تَصَدَّقَ بِصَدَقَةٍ أَوَّلَ اَلنَّهَارِ دَفَعَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُ شَرَّ مَا يَنْزِلُ مِنَ اَلسَّمَاءِ فِي ذَلِكَ اَلْيَوْمِ فَإِنْ تَصَدَّقَ أَوَّلَ اَللَّيْلِ دَفَعَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُ شَرَّ مَا يَنْزِلُ مِنَ اَلسَّمَاءِ فِي تِلْكَ اَللَّيْلَةِ.
Imam عليه السلام said: "Give charity early in the day, for calamities do not surpass it. Whoever gives charity at the beginning of the day, Allah سبحانه وتعالى will protect him from the evil that descends from the sky that day. And if he gives charity at the beginning of the night, Allah سبحانه وتعالى will protect him from the evil that descends from the sky during that night."
