سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الْأَوَّلَ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ النَّفَقَةِ عَلَى الْعِيَالِ فَقَالَ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَكْرُوهَيْنِ الْإِسْرَافِ وَ الْإِقْتَارِ .
Translation
And from him, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Amro, from Abdullah Bin Aban who said, ‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> the 1<sup>st</sup>, about the spending upon the dependants. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘What is between the two (limits of) abhorrence – the extravagance and the miserliness’.
