قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) رَجُلٌ لَمْ يُزَكِّ مَالَهُ فَأَخْرَجَ زَكَاتَهُ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ فَأَدَّاهَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ يُجْزِئُ عَنْهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ أَوْصَى بِوَصِيَّةٍ مِنْ ثُلُثِهِ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ زَكَّى أَ يُجْزِئُ عَنْهُ مِنْ زَكَاتِهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ يُحْسَبُ لَهُ زَكَاةٌ وَ لَا تَكُونُ لَهُ نَافِلَةٌ وَ عَلَيْهِ فَرِيضَةٌ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Hareyz, from Zurara who said, ‘I said to Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, ‘A man did not pay <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span> of his wealth, so his <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span> was extracted during his death. So, would the payment of what suffice him from it?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Yes’. I said, ‘Supposing he were to bequeath with a bequest from his third, and <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span> had not been paid on it, would it suffice him from his <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Yes. <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span> would be reckoned for him, and no optional <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> would happen to be upon him, and upon him would be the Obligatory (<span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>)’.
