صَعِدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) الْمِنْبَرَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَ صَلَّى عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ لِيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ مِنْكُمُ الْغَائِبَ أَلَا وَ مَنْ أَنْظَرَ مُعْسِراً كَانَ لَهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ صَدَقَةٌ بِمِثْلِ مَالِهِ حَتَّى يَسْتَوْفِيَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ إِنْ كانَ ذُو عُسْرَةٍ فَنَظِرَةٌ إِلى مَيْسَرَةٍ وَ أَنْ تَصَدَّقُوا خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ مُعْسِرٌ فَتَصَدَّقُوا عَلَيْهِ بِمَالِكُمْ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Yahya Bin Abdullah Bin Al Hassan Bin Al Hassan, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> ascended the Pulpit one day, so he<sup>saww</sup> Praised Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and Extolled upon Him<sup>azwj</sup> and sent Blessings upon His<sup>azwj</sup> Prophets<sup>as</sup>, then said: ‘O you people! Let the ones present make it to reach the ones who are absent. Indeed! And the one who respites an insolvent one would have a charity for him upon Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic with similar to his wealth until he pays it back’. Then, Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And if he was with insolvency, so respite to his solvency, and if you were to give it as charity, it would be better for you if you are knowing that he is insolvent. So your giving in charity upon him with your wealth is better for you’.
