قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ مِنْ بَقَاءِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ بَقَاءِ الْإِسْلَامِ أَنْ تَصِيرَ الْأَمْوَالُ عِنْدَ مَنْ يَعْرِفُ فِيهَا الْحَقَّ وَ يَصْنَعُ فِيهَا الْمَعْرُوفَ فَإِنَّ مِنْ فَنَاءِ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ فَنَاءِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَنْ تَصِيرَ الْأَمْوَالُ فِي أَيْدِي مَنْ لَا يَعْرِفُ فِيهَا الْحَقَّ وَ لَا يَصْنَعُ فِيهَا الْمَعْرُوفَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Hareyz, from Ismail Bin Abdul Khaliq Al Ju’fy who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘From the survival of the Muslims and survival of Al-Islam is that the wealth should come to be with the one who recognises the Truth regarding it and does the acts of kindness in it; and from the annihilation (destruction) of Al-Islam and annihilation of the Muslims is that the wealth should come to be in the hands of the one who does not recognise the Truth in it, nor does he do any act of kindness in it’.
