Chapter on Spoils Specially Belonging to the Imam (Anfal)
عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ سَيْفِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي اَلصَّبَّاحِ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:» نَحْنُ قَوْمٌ فَرَضَ اَللَّهُ طَاعَتَنَا لَنَا اَلْأَنْفَالُ وَلَنَا صَفْوُ اَلْأَمْوَالِ وَنَحْنُ اَلرَّاسِخُونَ فِي اَلْعِلْمِ وَ نَحْنُ اَلْمَحْسُودُونَ اَلَّذِينَ قَالَ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى »أَمْ يَحْسُدُونَ اَلنّٰاسَ عَلىٰ مٰا آتٰاهُمُ اللهَُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ« « .
Ali ibn al-Hasan ibn Faddal, from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Sayf ibn Umayrah, from Abu al-Sabbah, who said:
Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said: "We (Ahlul Bayt عليه السلام) are a people whose obedience Allah سبحانه وتعالى has made obligatory. The spoils (anfal) belong to us, and the chosen portion of the wealth belongs to us, and we (Imams عليه السلام) are those firmly rooted in knowledge, and we are the envied ones about whom Allah سبحانه وتعالى the Exalted said, 'Or do they envy the people for what Allah سبحانه وتعالى has given them from His سبحانه وتعالى bounty?'" (Surah An-Nisa 4:54)
