Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 4|Book 1|Chapter 29
وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ عِدَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلرَّجُلُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا يَسْتَحْيِي أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مِنَ اَلزَّكَاةِ فَأُعْطِيهِ مِنَ اَلزَّكَاةِ وَ لاَ أُسَمِّي لَهُ أَنَّهَا مِنَ اَلزَّكَاةِ قَالَ» أَعْطِهِ وَ لاَ تُسَمِّ لَهُ وَ لاَ تُذِلَّ اَلْمُؤْمِنَ«.
And from him, from a number of our companions, from Sahl ibn Ziyad, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Nasr, from Asim ibn Humayd, from Abu Basir, who said:
I (narrator) said to Abu Ja’far عليه السلام, peace be upon him: “A man from among our companions is shy to take from the zakat, so I give him from the zakat and do not name it to him that it is from the zakat.” Imam عليه السلام said: "Give it to him, and do not name it (as zakat) to him, and do not humiliate the believer."
