سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ عُتْبَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ عَجْلاَنَ اَلسَّكُونِيِّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنِّي رُبَّمَا قَسَمْتُ اَلشَّيْءَ بَيْنَ أَصْحَابِي أَصِلُهُمْ بِهِ فَكَيْفَ أُعْطِيهِمْ فَقَالَ» أَعْطِهِمْ عَلَى اَلْهِجْرَةِ فِي اَلدِّينِ وَاَلْفِقْهِ وَاَلْعَقْلِ«.
Sa'd ibn Abdullah, from Ibrahim ibn Hashim, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Nasr, from Utbah, from Abdullah ibn Ajlan al-Sakuni, who said:
I (narrator) said to Abu Ja’far عليه السلام, peace be upon him: “I sometimes divide something among my companions, maintaining ties with them through it, so how should I give it to them?” Imam عليه السلام said, "Give to them according to migration (hijrah) in religion, understanding (fiqh), and intellect."
