Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 4|Book 1|Chapter 29
اِبْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ:» مِنْ تَمَامِ اَلصَّوْمِ إِعْطَاءُ اَلزَّكَاةِ كَالصَّلاَةِ عَلَى اَلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ مِنْ تَمَامِ اَلصَّلاَةِ وَ مَنْ صَامَ وَ لَمْ يُؤَدِّهَا فَلاَ صَوْمَ لَهُ إِذَا تَرَكَهَا مُتَعَمِّداً وَ مَنْ صَلَّى وَ لَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَى اَلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَ تَرَكَ ذَلِكَ مُتَعَمِّداً فَلاَ صَلاَةَ لَهُ إِنَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بَدَأَ بِهَا قَبْلَ اَلصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَ» قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ تَزَكّٰى` وَ ذَكَرَ اِسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلّٰى««.
Ibn Abi Umayr, from Abu Basir, from Zurarah, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, that he said:
Imam عليه السلام said: "Part of the completion of fasting is giving zakat, just as sending blessings upon the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, Allah's سبحانه وتعالى blessings be upon him and his family, is part of the completion of prayer. Whoever fasts and does not pay it, then there is no fast for him if he leaves it deliberately; and whoever prays and does not send blessings upon the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, Allah's سبحانه وتعالى blessings be upon him and his family, and leaves that deliberately, then there is no prayer for him. Indeed Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Mighty and Majestic, began with it before prayer, so He سبحانه وتعالى said: ‘Successful indeed are those who purify themselves, and remember the Name of their Lord عز وجل, and prays.'" (Surah al-A’la 87:14-15)
