صَلَاةٌ مَكْتُوبَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ عِشْرِينَ حَجَّةً وَ حَجَّةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ بَيْتٍ مَمْلُوءٍ ذَهَباً يُنْفِقُهُ فِي بِرٍّ حَتَّى يَنْفَدَ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ لَا أَفْلَحَ مَنْ ضَيَّعَ عِشْرِينَ بَيْتاً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ بِخَمْسَةٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ دِرْهَماً فَقُلْتُ وَ مَا مَعْنَى خَمْسَةٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ دِرْهَماً قَالَ مَنْ مَنَعَ الزَّكَاةَ وُقِفَتْ صَلَاتُهُ حَتَّى يُزَكِّيَ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ali Bin Hassan, from one of his companions, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘A Prescribed <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> is better than twenty Hajjs, and a Hajj is better than a house filled with gold spent in righteousness until it depletes’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And there is no success for the one who wastes twenty houses of gold by twenty five Dirhams’. So I said, ‘What is the meaning of ‘twenty five Dirhams’?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The one who prevents the <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>, his <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> would be paused until he purifies it (pays <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>)’.
