Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 4|Book 1|Chapter 20
عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ اَلْهَاشِمِيِّ عَنْ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ وَ عُبَيْدٍ وَ جَمَاعَةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا قَالُوا قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:» لَيْسَ فِي اَلْمَالِ اَلْمُضْطَرَبِ بِهِ زَكَاةٌ« فَقَالَ لَهُ إِسْمَاعِيلُ اِبْنُهُ يَا أَبَتِ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ أَهْلَكْتَ فُقَرَاءَ أَصْحَابِكَ فَقَالَ» أَيْ بُنَيَّ حَقٌّ أَرَادَ اَللَّهُ أَنْ يُخْرِجَهُ فَخَرَجَ«.
Ali ibn al-Hasan ibn Faddal, from Muhammad and Ahmad, from Ali ibn Yaqub al-Hashimi, from Marwan ibn Muslim, from Abdullah ibn Bukayr, Ubayd, and a group of our companions, who said:
Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said: “There is no zakat in wealth that is being traded with.” So his son Ismail (ibn Ja’far) said to him: “O my father عليه السلام, may I be made your ransom, you have destroyed the poor among your companions.” Imam عليه السلام said: “O my son, it is a right which Allah سبحانه وتعالى intended to bring out, so it came out.”
