5ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ عَنْ ضُرَيْسٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) إِنَّمَا أَعْطَاكُمُ الله هَذِهِ الْفُضُولَ مِنَ الأَمْوَالِ لِتُوَجِّهُوهَا حَيْثُ وَجَّهَهَا الله وَلَمْ يُعْطِكُمُوهَا لِتَكْنِزُوهَا.

He has not given you this to keep for safe keeping.’”
