قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) نَفَقَةُ دِرْهَمٍ فِي الْخِضَابِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ نَفَقَةِ دِرْهَمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ فِيهِ أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ خَصْلَةً يَطْرُدُ الرِّيحَ مِنَ الْأُذُنَيْنِ وَ يَجْلُو الْغِشَاءَ عَنِ الْبَصَرِ وَ يُلَيِّنُ الْخَيَاشِيمَ وَ يُطَيِّبُ النَّكْهَةَ وَ يَشُدُّ اللِّثَةَ وَ يَذْهَبُ بِالْغَشَيَانِ وَ يُقِلُّ وَسْوَسَةَ الشَّيْطَانِ وَ تَفْرَحُ بِهِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَ يَسْتَبْشِرُ بِهِ الْمُؤْمِنُ وَ يَغِيظُ بِهِ الْكَافِرُ وَ هُوَ زِينَةٌ وَ هُوَ طِيبٌ وَ بَرَاءَةٌ فِي قَبْرِهِ وَ يَسْتَحْيِي مِنْهُ مُنْكَرٌ وَ نَكِيرٌ .
Translation
Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Bundar, and Muhammad Bin Al Hassan, from Ibrahim Bin Is’haq Al Ahmar, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Mihran, from his father, raising it, said, ‘The Prophet<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Spending a Dirham in the dye is better than spending a Dirham in the Way of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>. Therein are fourteen qualities – It dispels the wind from the ears, and it refines the vision, and softens the nose-ducts, and aromatises the breath, and strengthens the gums, and removes the fainting, and reduces the whisperings of the Satan<sup>la</sup>, and the Angels are happy by it, and the believers get glad tidings by it, and the Infidels are disappointed by it, and it is an adornment, and it is a perfume, and a freedom in his grave, and Munkar and Nakeer (two questioning Angels) are too embarrassed from it (the questioning)’.
