وَ رَوَى اَلْحَكَمُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ عَنْ قُتَيْبَةَ بْنِ اَلْأَعْشَى قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنِّي أَقْرَأُ اَلْقُرْآنَ فَتُهْدَى إِلَيَّ اَلْهَدِيَّةُ فَأَقْبَلُهَا قَالَ "لاَ" قُلْتُ إِنْ لَمْ أُشَارِطْهُ قَالَ "أَ رَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ تَقْرَأْهُ أَ كَانَ يُهْدِي لَكَ" قَالَ قُلْتُ لاَ قَالَ "فَلاَ تَقْبَلْهُ".
Al-Hakam ibn Miskin narrated from Qutaybah ibn Al-A'sha who said: I said to Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, "I recite the Quran, and gifts are given to me-should I accept them?" Imam عليه السلام said: "No." I said: "What if I did not stipulate it (as a condition)?" Imam عليه السلام said: "Tell me, if you had not recited it, would they have given you a gift?" I said: "No." Imam عليه السلام said: "Then do not accept it."
