6ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ آبَائِهِ (عَلَيْهِم الْسَّلام) قَالَ مَا أَخَذَهُ مِنْكَ الْعَاشِرُ فَطَرَحَهُ فِي كُوزَةٍ فَهُوَ مِنْ زَكَاتِكَ وَمَا لَمْ يَطْرَحْ فِي الْكُوزِ فَلاَ تَحْتَسِبْهُ مِنْ زَكَاتِكَ.

6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from al-Nawfaliy from al-Sakuniy who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has narrated from his ancestor, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, this Hadith. ‘Whatever the collector of one out of ten (Zakat collector) charges you and deposits it in the mug (the safe), it is your Zakat. If he does not do so then do not count it as your Zakat.’”
