Chapter on What Must Be Given Out from Charity and the Least Amount That Is Given
سَعْدٌ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ اَلصَّقْرِ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ اَللُّؤْلُؤِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أُعْطِي اَلرَّجُلَ مِنَ اَلزَّكَاةِ مِائَةَ دِرْهَمٍ قَالَ» نَعَمْ« قُلْتُ مِائَتَيْنِ قَالَ» نَعَمْ« قُلْتُ ثَلاَثَمِائَةٍ قَالَ» نَعَمْ« قُلْتُ أَرْبَعَمِائَةٍ قَالَ» نَعَمْ« قُلْتُ خَمْسَمِائَةٍ قَالَ» نَعَمْ حَتَّى تُغْنِيَهُ«.
Sad, from Ahmad ibn al-Husayn ibn al-Saqr, from al-Hasan ibn al-Husayn al-Lului, from Muhammad ibn Sinan, from Ishaq ibn Ammar, who said:
I (narrator) said to Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him: “May I give a man one hundred dirhams from zakat?” Imam عليه السلام said: “Yes.” I (narrator) asked: “Two hundred (dirhams)?” Imam عليه السلام said: “Yes.” I (narrator) replied: “Three hundred (dirhams)?” Imam عليه السلام said: “Yes.” I (narrator) asked: “Four hundred (dirhams)?” Imam عليه السلام said: “Yes.” I (narrator) asked: “Five hundred (dirhams)?” Imam عليه السلام said: “Yes, until you make him self-sufficient.”
