Chapter on One Entitled to Zakat Due to Poverty and Destitution from Among the Categories

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ وَ بُكَيْرٍ وَ اَلْفُضَيْلِ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ وَ بُرَيْدٍ اَلْعِجْلِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ وَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُمَا قَالاَ: فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ فِي بَعْضِ هَذِهِ اَلْأَهْوَاءِ اَلْحَرُورِيَّةِ وَ اَلْمُرْجِئَةِ وَاَلْعُثْمَانِيَّةِ وَاَلْقَدَرِيَّةِ ثُمَّ يَتُوبُ وَ يَعْرِفُ هَذَا اَلْأَمْرَ وَ يَحْسُنُ رَأْيُهُ أَ يُعِيدُ كُلَّ صَلاَةٍ صَلاَّهَا أَوْ صَوْمٍ أَوْ زَكَاةٍ أَوْ حَجٍّ أَوْ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ إِعَادَةُ شَيْءٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ» لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ إِعَادَةُ شَيْءٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ غَيْرِ اَلزَّكَاةِ وَ لاَ بُدَّ أَنْ يُؤَدِّيَهَا لِأَنَّهُ وَضَعَ اَلزَّكَاةَ فِي غَيْرِ مَوْضِعِهَا وَإِنَّمَا مَوْضِعُهَا أَهْلُ اَلْوَلاَيَةِ«.
Muhammad ibn Yaqub, from Ali ibn Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Ibn Udhaynah, from Zurarah, Bukayr, al-Fudayl, Muhammad ibn Muslim, and Burayd al-Ijli, from Abu Ja’far عليه السلام and Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon them both, said: (Imam عليه السلام was asked) concerning ‘a man who is upon some of these doctrines: the Haruriyyah (Kharijites), the Murjiah (Murji'ites), the Uthmaniyyah (adherents to Uthman), and the Qadariyyah (Sufi inclied tariqa), then he repents, recognizes this matter, and his view becomes good. Thus, must he repeat every prayer he prayed, or fast, or zakat, or Hajj, or is there no repetition of any of that upon him?’ Imam عليه السلام said: “There is no repetition of anything from that upon him except zakat, and he must certainly pay it, because he placed zakat in other than its proper place, and its proper place is only the people of wilayah.”
