Arabic text

7ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعْدَانَ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَيْمَنَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ قَالَ يَا حُسَيْنُ أَنْفِقْ وَأَيْقِنْ بِالْخَلَفِ مِنَ الله فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَبْخَلْ عَبْدٌ وَلا أَمَةٌ بِنَفَقَةٍ فِيمَا يُرْضِي الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلاَّ أَنْفَقَ أَضْعَافَهَا فِيمَا يُسْخِطُ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.

Translation

7. Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn has narrated from his father from Sa‘dan from al-Husayn ibn Ayman who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘O Husayn, you must spend (for deserving causes) and be certain about Allah’s replacing what you have spent. Any male or female servant (of Allah) who withholds spending for deserving causes that please Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, ends up spending a double amount on such things that displeases Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious.”

Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — published with the edition, reproduced verbatim.
