وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنِ اَلْحَكَمِ بْنِ بُهْلُولٍ عَنْ أَبِي هَمَّامٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:» إِنَّ رَجُلاً أَتَى أَمِيرَ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنِّي أَصَبْتُ مَالاً لاَ أَعْرِفُ حَلاَلَهُ مِنْ حَرَامِهِ فَقَالَ» أَخْرِجِ اَلْخُمُسَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ اَلْمَالِ فَإِنَّ اَللَّهَ تَعَالَى قَدْ رَضِيَ مِنَ اَلْمَالِ بِالْخُمُسِ وَ اِجْتَنِبْ مَا كَانَ صَاحِبُهُ يَعْمَلُ««.
And from him, from Ya'qub ibn Yazid, from Ali ibn Ja'far, from al-Hakam ibn Buhlul, from Abu Hammam, from al-Hasan ibn Ziyad, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said:
Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "A man came to the Commander of the Believers عليه السلام, peace be upon him, and said: ‘O Commander of the Believers عليه السلام, I have acquired wealth whose lawful from its unlawful I do not know.’ Imam Ali عليه السلام said: “Take out the fifth (khums) from that wealth, for Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Exalted is He سبحانه وتعالى, has been pleased with the fifth (khums) from wealth, and avoid what its owner used to do."
