سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ مَنْ حَبَسَ مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ وَ هُوَ قَادِرٌ عَلَى أَنْ يُعْطِيَهُ إِيَّاهُ مَخَافَةَ إِنْ خَرَجَ ذَلِكَ الْحَقُّ مِنْ يَدِهِ أَنْ يَفْتَقِرَ كَانَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَقْدَرَ عَلَى أَنْ يُفْقِرَهُ مِنْهُ عَلَى أَنْ يُفْنِيَ نَفْسَهُ بِحَبْسِهِ ذَلِكَ الْحَقَّ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Hammad Bin Abu Talha Baya’a Al Sabiry, and Muhammad Bin Al Fuzayl, and Hakam Al Hannat, altogether from Abu Hama who said, ‘I heard Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘The one who withholds wealth of a Muslim person although he is able upon giving it back to him, fearing that if that wealth were to go out from his hands he would be impoverished, Allah<sup>asws</sup> Mighty and Majestic is more Able upon impoverishing him that he would annihilate himself by withholding that right’.
