3ـ سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنِ الْعَلاءِ بْنِ رَزِينٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ مَنْ يَلْزَمُ الرَّجُلَ مِنْ قَرَابَتِهِ مِمَّنْ يُنْفِقُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ الْوَالِدَانِ وَالْوَلَدُ وَالزَّوْجَةُ.
3. Sahl ibn Ziyad has narrated from Ali ibn al-Hakam from ‘Ala’ ibn Razin from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “I asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, ‘Who are one’s dependents for whom providing sustenance is obligatory on him?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘Such people are one’s parents, children and wife.’”
