وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ بُنَانِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ قَالَ: بَعَثْتُ إِلَى أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِدَرَاهِمَ لِي وَلِغَيْرِي وَ كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ أُخْبِرُهُ أَنَّهَا مِنْ فِطْرَةِ اَلْعِيَالِ فَكَتَبَ بِخَطِّهِ »قَبَضْتُ وَ قَبِلْتُ«.
And from him, from Muhammad ibn Yahya, from Bunan ibn Muhammad, from his brother Abdullah ibn Muhammad, from Muhammad ibn Ismail, who said:
I (narrator) sent to Abu al-Hasan al-Ridha عليه السلام, peace be upon him, dirhams belonging to me and to others, and I wrote to Imam عليه السلام informing him that they were from the Fitrah of the dependents. Imam عليه السلام wrote in his own handwriting: “I have received and accepted.”
