Chapter on One Entitled to Zakat Due to Poverty and Destitution from Among the Categories
وَعَنْهُ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ:» تَحِلُّ اَلزَّكَاةُ لِصَاحِبِ اَلدَّارِ وَ اَلْخَادِمِ« لِأَنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَرَى اَلدَّارَ وَ اَلْخَادِمَ شَيْئاً.
And from him, from Yahya ibn Isa, from Said ibn Yasar, who said:
I (narrator) heard Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, saying: “Zakat is lawful for the owner of a house and a servant,” Because Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, did not regard the house and the servant as anything (that eliminates the receiver from Zakat).
