1496. hadíth
وَ رَوَى سَمَاعَةُ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ اَلرَّجُلُ يُخَلِّفُ لِأَهْلِهِ نَفَقَةَ ثَلاَثَةِ آلاَفِ دِرْهَمٍ نَفَقَةَ سَنَتَيْنِ عَلَيْهِ زَكَاةٌ قَالَ «إِنْ كَانَ شَاهِداً فَعَلَيْهِ زَكَاةٌ وَ إِنْ كَانَ غَائِباً فَلَيْسَ فِيهَا شَيْءٌ.
Sama'ah narrated from Abu Basir, who reported from Abu Abdullah (Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s)). He said: I asked him, "A man leaves his family with a provision of three thousand dirhams for two years' expenses. Is Zakat due on it?" Imam (a.s) replied: "If he is present, Zakat is due on it. If he is absent, there is nothing due on it."
