وَ رَوَى اَلْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي اَلصَّحَارِي عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ رَجُلٌ اِشْتَرَى دَاراً فَبَقِيَتْ عَرْصَةٌ فَبَنَاهَا بَيْتَ غَلَّةٍ أَ يُوقِفُهُ عَلَى اَلْمَسْجِدِ قَالَ "إِنَّ اَلْمَجُوسَ أَوْقَفُوا عَلَى بَيْتِ اَلنَّارِ".
Al-Abbas ibn Amir narrated from Abu Al-Sahari, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about a man who bought a house, and there remained an empty plot of land. He built upon it a house to generate income. Should he endow it for the mosque? Imam عليه السلام replied: "Indeed, the Magians endowed property for their fire temples."
