سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَنِ اسْتَطاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا فَقَالَ مَا يَقُولُ النَّاسُ قَالَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ الزَّادُ وَ الرَّاحِلَةُ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَدْ سُئِلَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ هَذَا فَقَالَ هَلَكَ النَّاسُ إِذاً لَئِنْ كَانَ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ زَادٌ وَ رَاحِلَةٌ قَدْرَ مَا يَقُوتُ عِيَالَهُ وَ يَسْتَغْنِي بِهِ عَنِ النَّاسِ يَنْطَلِقُ إِلَيْهِ فَيَسْلُبُهُمْ إِيَّاهُ لَقَدْ هَلَكُوا فَقِيلَ لَهُ فَمَا السَّبِيلُ قَالَ فَقَالَ السَّعَةُ فِي الْمَالِ إِذَا كَانَ يَحُجُّ بِبَعْضٍ وَ يُبْقِي بَعْضاً يَقُوتُ بِهِ عِيَالَهُ أَ لَيْسَ قَدْ فَرَضَ اللَّهُ الزَّكَاةَ فَلَمْ يَجْعَلْهَا إِلَّا عَلَى مَنْ يَمْلِكُ مِائَتَيْ دِرْهَمٍ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Khalid Bin Jareer, from Abu Al Rabie Al Shamy who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> was asked about the Words of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:3#h97"><a href="/books/quran:3#h97">[3:97]</a></a> every one who is able to undertake the journey to it</span>. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘What are the people saying?’ So it was said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘The provisions and the ride’. So Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> had been asked about this, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The people are destroyed, because if it was such that the one for whom were provisions and a ride, able upon what he can feed his family, and he is needless from the people with it, he goes to it. So if that is confiscated (stolen) from him, he would be destroyed’. So it was said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘So what is the way?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The capacity in the wealth. If he was to perform Hajj with part of it, and part of it remains with his dependents (and they) can live by it. Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has Necessitated the Zakat, so He<sup>azwj</sup> did not Make it to be except upon the one who owns two hundred Dirhams’.
