كُنَّا مَعَ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ فَأَتَاهُ عَمْرُو بْنُ إِلْيَاسَ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّ أَخِي بِحَلَبَ بَعَثَ إِلَيَّ بِمَالٍ مِنَ الزَّكَاةِ أَقْسِمُهُ بِالْكُوفَةِ فَقُطِعَ عَلَيْهِ الطَّرِيقُ فَهَلْ عِنْدَكَ فِيهِ رِوَايَةٌ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ هَذِهِ الْمَسْأَلَةِ وَ لَمْ أَظُنَّ أَنَّ أَحَداً يَسْأَلُنِي عَنْهَا أَبَداً فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ الرَّجُلُ يَبْعَثُ بِزَكَاتِهِ مِنْ أَرْضٍ إِلَى أَرْضٍ فَيُقْطَعُ عَلَيْهِ الطَّرِيقُ فَقَالَ قَدْ أَجْزَأَتْ عَنْهُ وَ لَوْ كُنْتُ أَنَا لَأَعَدْتُهَا .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali, from Wuheyb Bin Hafs who said, ‘We were with Abu Baseer, and Amro Bin Ilyas came over to him, and he said to him, ‘O Abu Muhammad! My brother in Halab sent over to me wealth from the <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span> for me to distribute it in Al-Kufa. But the road was cut off from it (by bandits). So is there a report (Hadeeth) with regards to it with you?’ So he said, ‘Yes. I did ask Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> this question, and I did not think anyone would ask me about it, ever. So I said to Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! The man sends his <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span> from a land to a land, but the road is cut off upon it (by bandits)’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It has sufficed him from it, and had it been me<sup>asws</sup>, I<sup>asws</sup> would have paid it (again)’.
