سَأَلْتُ الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ لَهُ قَرَابَةٌ وَ مَوَالِي وَ أَتْبَاعٌ يُحِبُّونَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( صلوات الله عليه ) وَ لَيْسَ يَعْرِفُونَ صَاحِبَ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ أَ يُعْطَوْنَ مِنَ الزَّكَاةِ قَالَ لَا .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr who said, ‘I asked Al-Reza<sup>asws</sup> about the man for whom there are relatives and friends and followers who are loving Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup>, and (but) they are not recognising the Master<sup>asws</sup> of this command (Imam<sup>asws</sup>). Should I be giving them from the <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No’.
