: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ لَهُ اَلضَّيْعَةُ اَلْكَبِيرَةُ فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ اَلْمِهْرَجَانِ وَ اَلنَّيْرُوزِ أَهْدَوْا إِلَيْهِ اَلشَّيْءَ لَيْسَ هُوَ عَلَيْهِمْ يَتَقَرَّبُونَ بِذَلِكَ اَلشَّيْءِ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ "أَ لَيْسَ هُمْ مُصَلِّينَ " قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ "فَلْيَقْبَلْ هَدِيَّتَهُمْ وَ لْيُكَافِهِمْ".
Translation
Hadith.4078 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Ibrahim al-Karkhi, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a man who owns a large estate, and when the festivals of Mehregan and Nayrouz arrive, people gift him items, not as an obligation, but to seek closeness to him. Imam (as) said: "Are they not Muslims?" I said: "Yes." Imam (as) said: "Then let him accept their gifts and reciprocate them."
