دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَ الْمُعَلَّى وَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَلَمَّا رَآنَا قَالَ مَرْحَباً مَرْحَباً بِكُمْ وُجُوهٌ تُحِبُّنَا وَ نُحِبُّهَا جَعَلَكُمُ اللَّهُ مَعَنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) نَعَمْ مَهْ قَالَ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ مُوسِرٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ فِي يَسَارِكَ قَالَ وَ يَجِيءُ الرَّجُلُ فَيَسْأَلُنِي الشَّيْءَ وَ لَيْسَ هُوَ إِبَّانُ زَكَاتِي فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) الْقَرْضُ عِنْدَنَا بِثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ وَ الصَّدَقَةُ بِعَشَرَةٍ وَ مَا ذَا عَلَيْكَ إِذَا كُنْتَ كَمَا تَقُولُ مُوسِراً أَعْطَيْتَهُ فَإِذَا كَانَ إِبَّانُ زَكَاتِكَ احْتَسَبْتَ بِهَا مِنَ الزَّكَاةِ يَا عُثْمَانُ لَا تَرُدَّهُ فَإِنَّ رَدَّهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَظِيمٌ يَا عُثْمَانُ إِنَّكَ لَوْ عَلِمْتَ مَا مَنْزِلَةُ الْمُؤْمِنِ مِنْ رَبِّهِ مَا تَوَانَيْتَ فِي حَاجَتِهِ وَ مَنْ أَدْخَلَ عَلَى مُؤْمِنٍ سُرُوراً فَقَدْ أَدْخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ قَضَاءُ حَاجَةِ الْمُؤْمِنِ يَدْفَعُ الْجُنُونَ وَ الْجُذَامَ وَ الْبَرَصَ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Al Hassan Bin Ali, from his father, from Uqba Bin Khalid who said, ‘I and Al-Moalla, and Usman Bin Imran went over to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>. So when he<sup>asws</sup> saw us, said: ‘Welcome! Welcome with you all; faces that love us<sup>asws</sup> and we<sup>asws</sup> love them. May Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Cause you all to be with us<sup>asws</sup> in the world and the Hereafter’. So Usman said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>’. So Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said to him: ‘Yes, what is it (that you have come for)?’ I am an affluent man’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘May Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Bless you in your affluence’. He said, ‘The man comes to me, so he asks me for something, and it is not the time for my Zakat?’ So Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said to him: ‘The loan, with us<sup>asws</sup> is with eighteen (Rewards) and the charity is with ten, and what is that upon you when you are as you are saying, ‘affluent’? Give it to him. So when it would be the time of your Zakat, count it to be from the Zakat. O Usman! Do not repel him, for the repelling is grievous in the Presence of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>. O Usman! You, if you were to know what is the status of the Believer from his Lord<sup>azwj</sup>, you will not slacken with regards to his need; and the one who enters the joy upon a Believer, so he has entered it upon Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>; and the fulfillment of a need of the Believer repels the insanity, and the leprosy, and the vitiligo’.
