Arabic text

5ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنْ قَوْلِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَآتُوا حَقَّهُ يَوْمَ حَصادِهِ وَلا تُسْرِفُوا إِنَّهُ لا يُحِبُّ الْمُسْرِفِينَ فَقَالَ كَانَ فُلانُ بْنُ فُلانٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ سَمَّاهُ وَكَانَ لَهُ حَرْثٌ وَكَانَ إِذَا أَخَذَ يَتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ وَيَبْقَى هُوَ وَعِيَالُهُ بِغَيْرِ شَيْ‏ءٍ فَجَعَلَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ذَلِكَ سَرَفاً.

Translation

5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hisham ibn Muthanna who has said the following: “A man once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, ‘Give His right on the day of its harvest and do not spend excessively; He does not love excessive spenders.’ (6:141) He (the Imam) said, ‘So and so, he mentioned his name, Ansariy (people of al-Madinah) had a farm. After harvest, he would give all of it in charity. He and his dependents would remain without anything. Thus, Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, called such spending excessive.’”
