سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) عَمَّنْ يَلِي صَدَقَةَ الْعُشْرِ عَلَى مَنْ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ ثِقَةً فَمُرْهُ يَضَعُهَا فِي مَوَاضِعِهَا وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ ثِقَةً فَخُذْهَا مِنْهُ وَ ضَعْهَا فِي مَوَاضِعِهَا .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Yaqteen, from his brother Al Husayn, from Ali Bin Yaqteen who said, ‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> about the one who gives out the charity (<span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>) of the tenth (10%) upon the one there is no problem with. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If he was reliable, so instruct him to place it in its (appropriate) place, and if he does not happen to be reliable, so seize it from him and place in its (appropriate) place’.
