مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى اَلْعُبَيْدِيِّ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّهُ يَجْتَمِعُ عِنْدِيَ اَلشَّيْءُ اَلْكَثِيرُ قِيمَتُهُ فَيَبْقَى نَحْواً مِنْ سَنَةٍ أَ نُزَكِّيهِ فَقَالَ »لاَ كُلُّ مَا لَمْ يَحُلْ عِنْدَكَ عَلَيْهِ حَوْلٌ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ فِيهِ زَكَاةٌ وَ كُلُّ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ رِكَازاً فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ فِيهِ شَيْءٌ« قَالَ قُلْتُ وَ مَا اَلرِّكَازُ قَالَ» اَلصَّامِتُ اَلْمَنْقُوشُ« ثُمَّ قَالَ» إِذَا أَرَدْتَ ذَلِكَ فَاسْبِكْهُ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ فِي سَبَائِكِ اَلذَّهَبِ وَنِقَارِ اَلْفِضَّةِ زَكَاةٌ«.

Translation

Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub from Muhammad ibn Isa al-Ubaydi from Hammad ibn Isa from Hariz from Ali ibn Yaqtin from Abu Ibrahim (a.s), peace be upon him, who said: I said to Imam (a.s): “A large thing of value gathers with me, then it remains for about a year; should we give zakat on it?” Imam (a.s) said: “No. Everything over which a full year has not passed while it is with you, there is no zakat upon you in it. And everything that is not ‘engraved’ money (rikaz), there is nothing upon you in it.” He (the narrator) said, “I asked: ‘And what is ‘engraved’ money (rikaz)?’” Imam (a.s) said: “The stamped, non-speaking currency.” - meaning minted gold and silver coinage. Then Imam (a.s) said: “When you want that, then smelt it down, for there is no zakat on ingots of gold and pieces of silver.”
