Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 4|Book 1|Chapter 29
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلْمَاضِي عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ رَجُلٌ خَلَّفَ عِنْدَ أَهْلِهِ نَفَقَةً أَلْفَيْنِ لِسِنِينَ عَلَيْهَا زَكَاةٌ قَالَ» إِنْ كَانَ شَاهِداً فَعَلَيْهِ زَكَاةٌ وَ إِنْ كَانَ غَائِباً فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ زَكَاةٌ«.
Muhammad ibn Yaqub, from Ahmad ibn Idris, from Muhammad ibn Abd al-Jabbar, from Safwan, from Ishaq ibn Ammar, from Abu al-Hasan al-Madi عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said:
I (narrator) said to Imam عليه السلام: “A man left with his family maintenance of two thousand for years; is there Zakat upon it?” Imam عليه السلام said: “If he is present, then Zakat is upon him, and if he is absent, then there is no Zakat upon him.”
