Chapter on Categories Upon Whom Zakat is Obligatory
وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ قَالَ: بَعَثْتُ إِلَى اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِدَنَانِيرَ مِنْ قِبَلِ بَعْضِ أَهْلِي وَ كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ أُخْبِرُهُ أَنَّ فِيهَا زَكَاةً خَمْسَةٌ وَ سَبْعُونَ وَ اَلْبَاقِيَ صِلَةٌ فَكَتَبَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِخَطِّهِ «قَبَضْتُ» وَ بَعَثْتُ إِلَيْهِ بِدَنَانِيرَ لِي وَ لِغَيْرِي وَ كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهَا مِنْ فِطْرَةِ اَلْعِيَالِ فَكَتَبَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِخَطِّهِ «قَبَضْتُ.
Muhammad ibn Isma'il ibn Bazi’ narrated: I sent some dinars to al-Ridha (Imam Ali ibn Musa al-Ridha عليه السلام) on behalf of some of my family members. I wrote to him informing him that seventy-five of them were Zakat, and the remainder was a gift. Imam عليه السلام wrote back in his handwriting: "I have received them."
