Arabic text

حدثنا جعفر بن علي بن الحسن بن علي بن عبد الله بن المغيرة، عن إسماعيل بن أبي زياد، عن الصادق جعفر بن محمد، عن أبيه، عن آبائه (عليهم السلام)، قال: قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) لأصحابه: ألا أخبركم بشئ إن أنتم فعلتموه تباعد الشيطان عنكم كما تباعد المشرق من المغرب؟ قالوا: بلى، قال: الصوم يسود وجهه والصدقة تكسر ظهره والحب في الله والمؤازرة على العمل الصالح يقطع دابره والاستغفار يقطع وتينه، ولكل شئ زكاة وزكاة الأبدان الصيام.

Translation

Jaʿfar b. ʿAlī b. al-Ḥasan b. ʿAlī b. ʿAbd Allāh b. al-Mughīra narrated to us, from Ismāʿīl b. Abī Ziyād, from al-Ṣādiq, Jaʿfar b. Muḥammad, from his father, from his forefathers (as-p), who said: “The Messenger of Allāh (sawa) once said to his companions: “Shall I inform you of something which, if you were to know of it, would drive Shayṭān as far away from you as the East is from the West?” They replied: “Yes!” He continued: “Fasting blackens his face, charity breaks his back, love for Allāh and supporting one another in righteous deeds cuts off his roots, and seeking forgiveness (from Allāh) severs his lifeline. And for everything, there is an alms-tax, and fasting is the alms-tax of the body.”
