تَعَالَى وَ الَّذِينَ إِذا أَنْفَقُوا لَمْ يُسْرِفُوا وَ لَمْ يَقْتُرُوا وَ كانَ بَيْنَ ذلِكَ قَواماً فَبَسَطَ كَفَّهُ وَ فَرَّقَ أَصَابِعَهُ وَ حَنَاهَا شَيْئاً وَ عَنْ قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى وَ لا تَبْسُطْها كُلَّ الْبَسْطِ فَبَسَطَ رَاحَتَهُ وَ قَالَ هَكَذَا وَ قَالَ الْقَوَامُ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْأَصَابِعِ وَ يَبْقَى فِي الرَّاحَةِ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, and Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, ‘Regarding the Words of the Exalted <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:25#h67"><a href="/books/quran:25#h67">[25:67]</a></a> And they who when they spend, are neither extravagant nor stingy, but with moderation</span>, so he<sup>asws</sup> extended his<sup>asws</sup> palm and separated his<sup>asws</sup> fingers and tilted it a bit. And about the Words of the Exalted <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:17#h29"><a href="/books/quran:17#h29">[17:29]</a></a> nor extend it to its limit</span>, so he<sup>asws</sup> extended his<sup>asws</sup> palm and said: ‘Like this’. And he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The <span class="ibTxt">moderation</span> is what comes out from between the fingers, and something from it remains in the palm’.
