قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) إِنِّي رُبَّمَا قَسَمْتُ الشَّيْ‏ءَ بَيْنَ أَصْحَابِي أَصِلُهُمْ بِهِ فَكَيْفَ أُعْطِيهِمْ فَقَالَ أَعْطِهِمْ عَلَى الْهِجْرَةِ فِي الدِّينِ وَ الْعَقْلِ وَ الْفِقْهِ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Uteyba Bin Abdullah Bin Ijlan Al Sakuny who said, ‘I said to Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, ‘Sometimes I distribute something between my companions to maintain good relations by it. So how should I be giving to them?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Give to them upon the emigration in the Religion (towards <span class="iTxt">Al-Wilayah</span>), and the intellect, and the understanding’.
