3ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَتَصَدَّقُ بِالسُّكَّرِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ أَ تَتَصَدَّقُ بِالسُّكَّرِ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْهُ فَأَنَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَتَصَدَّقَ بِأَحَبِّ الأَشْيَاءِ إِلَيَّ.
3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from Muhammad ibn Shu’ayb from al-Husayn ibn al-Hassan from ‘Asem from Yunus from those whom he has mentioned who has said the following: ”Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), was seen giving sugar for charity. Someone asked, ‘Do you give sugar for charity?’ He (Imam) replied, ‘Yes, there is not anything more beloved to me than sugar, so I love to give for charity what is most beloved to me.’”
