سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُقَاتِلُ عَنْ مَالِهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) قَالَ مَنْ قُتِلَ دُونَ مَالِهِ فَهُوَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ شَهِيدٍ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ أَ فَيُقَاتِلُ أَفْضَلُ فَقَالَ إِنْ لَمْ تُقَاتِلْ فَلَا بَأْسَ أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَوْ كُنْتُ لَتَرَكْتُهُ وَ لَمْ أُقَاتِلْ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer who said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> about the man who fights about his wealth. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘The one who fights for (to protect) his wealth, so he is at the status of a martyr’. So we said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘So fighting him is better?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If you do not fight, so there is no problem. As for myself<sup>asws</sup>, So if it was I<sup>asws</sup>, I<sup>asws</sup> would leave him and would not fight’.
