سَعْدٌ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُمْهُورٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ اَلْأَوْسِيِّ عَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ: »كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي يَوْماً فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ اَلرَّيِّ وَ لِي زَكَاةٌ فَإِلَى مَنْ أَدْفَعُهَا قَالَ» إِلَيْنَا« فَقَالَ أَلَيْسَ اَلصَّدَقَةُ مُحَرَّمَةً عَلَيْكُمْ فَقَالَ» بَلَى إِذَا دَفَعْتَهَا إِلَى شِيعَتِنَا فَقَدْ دَفَعْتَهَا إِلَيْنَا« فَقَالَ إِنِّي لاَ أَعْرِفُ لَهَا أَحَداً فَقَالَ »اِنْتَظِرْ بِهَا إِلَى سَنَةٍ« قَالَ فَإِنْ لَمْ أُصِبْ لَهَا أَحَداً قَالَ» اِنْتَظِرْ بِهَا إِلَى سَنَتَيْنِ حَتَّى بَلَغَ أَرْبَعَ سِنِينَ« ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ» إِنْ لَمْ تُصِبْ لَهَا أَحَداً فَصُرَّهَا صِرَاراً وَاِطْرَحْهَا فِي اَلْبَحْرِ فَإِنَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ حَرَّمَ أَمْوَالَنَا وَ أَمْوَالَ شِيعَتِنَا عَلَى عَدُوِّنَا««.
Sad, from some of our companions, from Muhammad ibn Jumhur, from Ibrahim al-Awsi, from Imam al-Ridha (a.s), peace be upon him, who said: Imam al-Ridha (a.s) said that I heard my father (Imam al-Kadhim (a.s)) saying: “I was with my father (Imam al-Sadiq (a.s)) one day, when a man came to him and said: ‘I am a man from the people of al-Rayy, and I have zakat, so to whom should I pay it?’ He (Imam al-Sadiq (a.s)) said: “To us.” So the man asked: “Is charity not forbidden for you?” He (Imam al-Sadiq (a.s)) said: “Yes. When you pay it to our Shia, then you have paid it to us.” So the man asked: “I do not know anyone for it.” He (Imam al-Sadiq (a.s)) said: “Wait with it for one year.” The man said: “If I do not find anyone for it?” He (Imam al-Sadiq (a.s)) said: “Wait with it for two years,” until Imam (a.s) reached four years. Then he (Imam al-Sadiq (a.s)) said to the man: “If you do not find anyone for it, then tie it into bundles and throw it into the sea, for Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic, has forbidden our wealth and the wealth of our Shia to our enemy.”
