قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) الرَّجُلُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا يَسْتَحْيِي أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مِنَ الزَّكَاةِ فَأُعْطِيهِ مِنَ الزَّكَاةِ وَ لَا أُسَمِّي لَهُ أَنَّهَا مِنَ الزَّكَاةِ فَقَالَ أَعْطِهِ وَ لَا تُسَمِّ لَهُ وَ لَا تُذِلَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhamad Bin Abu Nasr, from Aasim Bin Humeyd, from Abu Baseer who said, ‘I said to Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, ‘The man from our companions is too embarrassed to take from the <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>. So can I give him from the <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span> and not specify to him that it is from the <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Give him and do not specify to him, and do not humiliate a Believer’.
