Original Arabic text

[1/178] الكافي: محمد بن يعقوب، عن علي بن إبراهيم، عن أبيه قال: كنت عند أبي جعفر الثاني عليه السلام إذ دخل عليه صالح بن محمد بن سهل، وكان يتولى له الوقف بقم، فقال: يا سيدي اجعلني من عشرة آلاف في حل فإني أنفقتها، فقال له: أنت في حل، فلما خرج صالح، قال أبو جعفر عليه السلام: أحدهم يثب على أموال حق آل محمد وأيتامهم ومساكينهم وفقرائهم وأبناء سبيلهم فيأخذه ثم يجئ فيقول: اجعلني في حل، أتراه ظن أني أقول: لا أفعل؟ والله ليسألنهم الله يوم القيامة عن ذلك سؤالا حثيثا

Published English translation

1. [1/178] al-Kafi: Muhammad b. Ya`qub from Ali b. Ibrahim from his father who said: I was with Abi Ja`far the Second [al-Jawad] عليه السلام when Salih b. Muhammad b. Sahl entered to see him – and he [Salih] used to oversee the Waqf [endowments] for him in Qum – he [Salih] said: O my master! relieve me and do not hold me to account over ten thousand [Dirhams] for I have spent it, he [the Imam] said to him: you are relieved [not liable to hand it over]. When Salih had left Abu Ja`far عليه السلام said: one of them receives the wealth which is the right of the family of Muhammad, their orphans, poor, needy, travelers who are stranded – takes it [for himself] then comes and says: ‘relieve me’. Look at him – he thought that I would say: ‘no I will not’, by Allah! Allah will ask them about that on the day of judgment with a swift reckoning.
