John Shaqi

اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ كانَ بَيْنَ ذلِكَ قَواماً قَالَ الْقَوَامُ هُوَ الْمَعْرُوفُ عَلَى الْمُوسِعِ قَدَرُهُ وَ عَلَى الْمُقْتِرِ قَدَرُهُ مَتاعاً بِالْمَعْرُوفِ حَقًّا عَلَى الْمُحْسِنِينَ عَلَى قَدْرِ عِيَالِهِ وَ مَئُونَتِهِمُ الَّتِي هِيَ صَلَاحٌ لَهُ وَ لَهُمْ وَ لا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْساً إِلَّا ما آتاها .


Translation

Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, (It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> regarding the Words of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:25#h67"><a href="/books/quran:25#h67">[25:67]</a></a> but with moderation</span>. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The moderation, it is the act of kindness; upon the affluent being his measurement, and upon the poor being his measurement, chattels with the kindness, being a right upon the do-gooders, upon a measurement of his dependants and their expenditure which is correct for him and for them; and Allah<sup>azwj</sup> does not Encumber (Burden) a soul except what He<sup>azwj</sup> Gave it’.
