قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ صَدَقَةَ الْخُفِّ وَ الظِّلْفِ تُدْفَعُ إِلَى الْمُتَجَمِّلِينَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَأَمَّا صَدَقَةُ الذَّهَبِ وَ الْفِضَّةِ وَ مَا كِيلَ بِالْقَفِيزِ مِمَّا أَخْرَجَتِ الْأَرْضُ فَلِلْفُقَرَاءِ الْمُدْقَعِينَ قَالَ ابْنُ سِنَانٍ قُلْتُ وَ كَيْفَ صَارَ هَذَا كَذَا فَقَالَ لِأَنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ مُتَجَمِّلُونَ يَسْتَحْيُونَ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَيُدْفَعُ إِلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَلُ الْأَمْرَيْنِ عِنْدَ النَّاسِ وَ كُلٌّ صَدَقَةٌ .
Translation
Ali Bin Muhammad, from Ibrahiam Bin Is’haq, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Charity (<span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>) of the mules and the cloven hooves (goats etc.) are given to the beautifying ones from the Muslims. But, as for the charity (<span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>) of the gold and the silver, and what is weighed by the scale from what the earth brings forth (produce), so it is for the poor ones and the wretched’. Ibn Sinan said, ‘I said, ‘And how did this come to be like that?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Because they are beautifying themselves out of embarrassment from the people, thus the more beautiful of the two matters in the presence of the people would be handed over to them; and all of it is charity (<span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>)’.
