6ـ وَعَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي حَفْصَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ إِنَّ الله تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ إِلاَّ وَقَدْ وَكَّلْتُ بِهِ مَنْ يَقْبِضَهُ غَيْرِي إِلاَّ الصَّدَقَةَ فَإِنِّي أَتَلَقَّفُهَا بِيَدِي تَلَقُّفاً حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَصَدَّقُ بِالتَّمْرَةِ أَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ فَأُرَبِّيهَا لَهُ كَمَا يُرَبِّي الرَّجُلُ فَلُوَّهُ وَفَصِيلَهُ فَيَأْتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَهُوَ مِثْلُ أُحُدٍ وَأَعْظَمُ مِنْ أُحُدٍ.
From him (Ali Ibn Ibrahim), from his father, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Hisham ibn Salim, from Zurara, from Salim ibn Abi Hafsah that Abu Abdullah al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "Indeed, Allah, Blessed and Exalted, says: 'There is nothing for which I have not appointed someone to take it, except charity, for I personally receive it with My own hand. Even when a person gives a date or a piece of a date in charity, I nurture it for him as a man nurtures his foal or his young camel, until it comes on the Day of Judgment as large as Mount Uhud or even greater.'"
