Shaykh Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb al-Kulaynī · Benevolent Assistance (Optional Charity as Opposed to Compulsory Ones)
2ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ الرَّقِّيِّ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ الثُّمَالِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) إِنَّ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ جَعَلَ لِلْمَعْرُوفِ أَهْلاً مِنْ خَلْقِهِ حَبَّبَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَعَالَهُ وَوَجَّهَ لِطُلاَّبِ الْمَعْرُوفِ الطَّلَبَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَيَسَّرَ لَهُمْ قَضَاءَهُ كَمَا يَسَّرَ الْغَيْثَ لِلأَرْضِ الْمُجْدِبَةِ لِيُحْيِيَهَا وَيُحْيِيَ بِهِ أَهْلَهَا وَإِنَّ الله جَعَلَ لِلْمَعْرُوفِ أَعْدَاءً مِنْ خَلْقِهِ بَغَّضَ إِلَيْهِمُ الْمَعْرُوفَ وَبَغَّضَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَعَالَهُ وَحَظَرَ عَلَى طُلاَّبِ الْمَعْرُوفِ الطَّلَبَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَحَظَرَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَضَاءَهُ كَمَا يُحَرِّمُ الْغَيْثَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ الْمُجْدِبَةِ لِيُهْلِكَهَا وَيُهْلِكَ أَهْلَهَا وَمَا يَعْفُو الله أَكْثَرُ.
2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from Dawud al-Riqqiy from abu Hamzah al-Thumaliy who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, has created a people to actuate Benevolent Assistance. He has made the doing of Benevolent Assistance beloved to them and has directed the recipients of Benevolent Assistance toward them to seek help. He has made the doing of Benevolent Assistance easy for them just as abundant rain eases the barren land to come alive and give life to its inhabitants. Also as enemies of Benevolent Assistance Allah has created a creature. He has made it to seem abhorrent to them as well as the doing of Benevolent Assistance. He has prohibited those who seek Benevolent Assistance to appeal for help before such creatures, and He has prohibited these creatures to provide such assistance, just as He prohibits abundant rain to fall on barren land to destroy it and its inhabitants; however, Allah’s forgiveness is greater.’”
