5ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ عَنْ ضُرَيْسٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) إِنَّمَا أَعْطَاكُمُ الله هَذِهِ الْفُضُولَ مِنَ الأَمْوَالِ لِتُوَجِّهُوهَا حَيْثُ وَجَّهَهَا الله وَلَمْ يُعْطِكُمُوهَا لِتَكْنِزُوهَا.
5. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from Musa ibn al-Qasim from abu Jamilah from Durays who has said the following: “I heard abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, say, ‘Allah has granted you the extra wealth so that you spend it the way Allah wants you to spend. He has not given you this to keep for safe keeping.’”
