قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ أَخِي يُوسُفَ وُلِّيَ لِهَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمِ أَعْمَالًا أَصَابَ فِيهَا أَمْوَالًا كَثِيرَةً وَ إِنَّهُ جَعَلَ تِلْكَ الْأَمْوَالَ حُلِيّاً أَرَادَ أَنْ يَفِرَّ بِهَا مِنَ الزَّكَاةِ أَ عَلَيْهِ الزَّكَاةُ قَالَ لَيْسَ عَلَى الْحُلِيِّ زَكَاةٌ وَ مَا أَدْخَلَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ مِنَ النُّقْصَانِ فِي وَضْعِهِ وَ مَنْعِهِ نَفْسَهُ فَضْلُهُ أَكْثَرُ مِمَّا يَخَافُ مِنَ الزَّكَاةِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Hareyz, from Haroun Bin Kharjat, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘My brother Yusuf is a custodian for these people, an office bearer, He attained a lot of wealth in it, and he made that wealth into ornaments, intending to flee from the <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>. Is there <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span> upon it?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span> upon the ornaments, and whatever he entered upon himself from the loss is his wasting it, and preventing himself of its merit is more than what he fears from the <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>’.
