Al-Kāfi|Volume 4|Book 1|Chapter 11
5ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ أَيْمَنَ بْنِ مُحْرِزٍ عَنْ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ زَيْدٍ الشَّحَّامِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ قَالَ مَا مَنَعَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) سَائِلاً قَطُّ إِنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ أَعْطَى وَإِلاَّ قَالَ يَأْتِي الله بِهِ.
5. Ali ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allah has narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from his father from Isma‘il ibn Mehran from Ayman ibn Muhriz from abu Usamah, Zayd al-Shahham who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, never denied someone asking for help. If he had something with him, he gave charity; if not, he would say, ‘May Allah give you (charity).”’
