وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُذَافِرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلصَّدَقَةِ عَلَى اَلنُّصَّابِ وَ عَلَى اَلزَّيْدِيَّةِ قَالَ» لاَ تَصَدَّقْ عَلَيْهِمْ بِشَيْءٍ وَ لاَ تَسْقِهِمْ مِنَ اَلْمَاءِ إِنِ اِسْتَطَعْتَ« وَ قَالَ» اَلزَّيْدِيَّةُ هُمُ اَلنُّصَّابُ«.
And from him, from Yaqub ibn Yazid, from Muhammad ibn Umar, from Muhammad ibn Udhafir, from Umar ibn Yazid, who said: I (narrator) asked Imam عليه السلام about ‘charity upon the Nussab (Nawasib) and upon the Zaydiyyah.’ Imam عليه السلام said: “Do not give charity to them with anything, and do not give them water to drink, if you are able.” And Imam عليه السلام said: “The Zaydiyyah are the Nussab.”
