5- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ أَتَى رَجُلٌ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فَقَالَ إِنِّي كَسَبْتُ مَالا أَغْمَضْتُ فِي مَطَالِبِهِ حَلالا وَحَرَاماً وَقَدْ أَرَدْتُ التَّوْبَةَ وَلا أَدْرِي الْحَلالَ مِنْهُ وَالْحَرَامَ وَقَدِ اخْتَلَطَ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) تَصَدَّقْ بِخُمُسِ مَالِكَ فَإِنَّ اللهَ جَلَّ اسْمُهُ رَضِيَ مِنَ الأشْيَاءِ بِالْخُمُسِ وَسَائِرُ الأمْوَالِ لَكَ حَلالٌ.
5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nawfaliy from al-Sakuniy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that once a man came to ’Amir al-Mu’minin saying, ‘In my earnings I have been neglectful about lawful and unlawful matters, and I want to repent, but I do not know which item in my possession is lawful and which is not.’ ‘Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.), said, ‘Give one-fifth of your assets in charity. Allah, most Glorious is whose name, accepts one-fifth of things. The rest of your assets are lawful for you.’”
