Arabic text

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ اَلْحَسَنِ اَلصَّفَّارُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ بِلاَلٍ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ أَسْأَلُهُ هَلْ يَجُوزُ أَنْ أَدْفَعَ زَكَاةَ اَلْمَالِ وَ اَلصَّدَقَةَ إِلَى مُحْتَاجٍ غَيْرِ أَصْحَابِي فَكَتَبَ» لاَ تُعْطِ اَلصَّدَقَةَ وَ اَلزَّكَاةَ إِلاَّ لِأَصْحَابِكَ«.

Translation

Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Saffar, from Ali ibn Bilal, who said: I (narrator) wrote to Imam (a.s) asking: “Is it permissible for me to pay the zakat of wealth and charity to a needy person who is not from my companions?” Imam (a.s) wrote: “Do not give charity and zakat except to your companions.”

Translation: Haydar Ali Shaykh ibn Muhammad — published with the edition, reproduced verbatim.
