قُلْتُ لَهُ رَجُلٌ خَلَّفَ عِنْدَ أَهْلِهِ نَفَقَةً أَلْفَيْنِ لِسَنَتَيْنِ عَلَيْهَا زَكَاةٌ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ شَاهِداً فَعَلَيْهِ زَكَاةٌ وَ إِنْ كَانَ غَائِباً فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ زَكَاةٌ .
Translation
Ahmad Bin Idrees, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Is’haq Bin Ammar, (It has been narrated) from Abu Al Hassan Al-Maazy<sup>asws</sup> (7<sup>th</sup> Imam<sup>asws</sup>), said, ‘I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘A man leaves behind expense monies with his wife, two thousand for two years. Would there be <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span> upon her?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If he was present, so upon him would be the <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>, but if he was absent, so there would be no <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span> upon it’.
