قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ الصَّوْمَ يَشُدُّ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ لِي لَدِرْهَمٌ تَصَدَّقُ بِهِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ صِيَامِ يَوْمٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَدَعَهُ .
Translation
Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Al Washa, from Hammad Bin Usman, from Umar Bin Yazeed who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘The Fasting is difficult upon me’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘The Dirham you give in charity with is superior than Fasting a day’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And I<sup>asws</sup> do not like it if you were to neglect it’.
