سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الزَّكَاةِ فَقَالَ انْظُرْ شَهْراً مِنَ السَّنَةِ فَانْوِ أَنْ تُؤَدِّيَ زَكَاتَكَ فِيهِ فَإِذَا دَخَلَ ذَلِكَ الشَّهْرُ فَانْظُرْ مَا نَضَّ يَعْنِي مَا حَصَلَ فِي يَدِكَ مِنْ مَالِكَ فَزَكِّهِ فَإِذَا حَالَ الْحَوْلُ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الَّذِي زَكَّيْتَ فِيهِ فَاسْتَقْبِلْ بِمِثْلِ مَا صَنَعْتَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ أَكْثَرُ مِنْهُ .
Translation
Ahmad Bin Idrees, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, altogether from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Hakeym, from Khalid Bin Al Hajjaj Al Karkhy who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Look at a month from the year and intend that you would be paying your <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span> during it. So when that month comes up, so look at what is in your hands from your wealth, and purify it (pay <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>). So when the year passes by from the month in which you purified (paid <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>), so face it with the likes of what you did. There is nothing more upon you than it’.
