قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّهُ يَجْتَمِعُ عِنْدِي الشَّيْ‏ءُ فَيَبْقَى نَحْواً مِنْ سَنَةٍ أَ نُزَكِّيهِ قَالَ لَا كُلُّ مَا لَمْ يَحُلْ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَكَ الْحَوْلُ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ فِيهِ زَكَاةٌ وَ كُلُّ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ رِكَازاً فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ فِيهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَ مَا الرِّكَازُ قَالَ الصَّامِتُ الْمَنْقُوشُ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ ذَلِكَ فَاسْبِكْهُ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ فِي سَبَائِكِ الذَّهَبِ وَ نِقَارِ الْفِضَّةِ شَيْ‏ءٌ مِنَ الزَّكَاةِ .


Translation

Hammad Bin Isa, from Hareyz, from Ali Bin Yaqteen, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ibrahim<sup>asws</sup> (7<sup>th</sup> Imam<sup>asws</sup>), said, ‘I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘Something has gathered in my possession, and it remained for approximately a year, should we purify it (pay <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>)?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No. Everything in your possession which a year has not passed upon, so there is no <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span> in it; and everything what does not happen to be a mineral, so there is nothing upon you’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And what is the mineral?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The silent carving’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Whenever you intend that, so cast it, for there would not be, in your casting of gold and a carving of silver, anything from the <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>’.
