Al-Kāfi|Volume 4|Book 1|Chapter 1
7ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) يَقُولُ الصَّدَقَةُ بِالْيَدِ تَقِي مِيتَةَ السَّوْءِ وَتَدْفَعُ سَبْعِينَ نَوْعاً مِنْ أَنْوَاعِ الْبَلاءِ وَتُفَكُّ عَنْ لُحِيِّ سَبْعِينَ شَيْطَاناً كُلُّهُمْ يَأْمُرُهُ أَنْ لا يَفْعَلَ.
7. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following: “I heard abu ‘ Abd Allah عليه السلام, say, ‘Giving charity by one’s own hand repels seventy kinds of misfortune, which finds its way out through the beards of seven hundred Satans who all try to stop him from giving charity.’”
