دَفَعَ إِلَيَّ شِهَابُ بْنُ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ دَرَاهِمَ مِنَ الزَّكَاةِ أَقْسِمُهَا فَأَتَيْتُهُ يَوْماً فَسَأَلَنِي هَلْ قَسَمْتَهَا فَقُلْتُ لَا فَأَسْمَعَنِي كَلَاماً فِيهِ بَعْضُ الْغِلْظَةِ فَطَرَحْتُ مَا كَانَ بَقِيَ مَعِي مِنَ الدَّرَاهِمِ وَ قُمْتُ مُغْضَباً فَقَالَ لِيَ ارْجِعْ حَتَّى أُحَدِّثَكَ بِشَيْءٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ( عليه السلام ) فَرَجَعْتُ فَقَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنِّي إِذَا وَجَدْتُ زَكَاتِي أَخْرَجْتُهَا فَأَدْفَعُ مِنْهَا إِلَى مَنْ أَثِقُ بِهِ يَقْسِمُهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ لَا بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ أَحَدُ الْمُعْطِينَ قَالَ صَالِحٌ فَأَخَذْتُ الدَّرَاهِمَ حَيْثُ سَمِعْتُ الْحَدِيثَ فَقَسَمْتُهَا .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Salih Bin Razeyn who said, ‘Shahab Bin Abd Rabbih handed over some Dirhams from the Zakat to me to distribute them. So I came over to him one day, and he asked me, ‘Did you distribute them?’ So I said, ‘No’. So he made me listen to words wherein was harshness. So I dropped what had remained with me from the Dirhams, and I arose in anger. So he said to me, ‘Return, until I narrate to you with something which I heard from Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> Bin Muhammad<sup>asws</sup>’. So I returned. So he said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘When I find my Zakat, so can I take it out and hand it over to one who is reliable with it to distribute it?’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Yes, there is no problem with that. But, he would be one of the givers’. Salih said, ‘So I took the Dirhams when I heard the Hadeeth, and I distribute them’.
