1517. hadíth

وَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ مَمْلُوكٌ فِي يَدِهِ مَالٌ أَ عَلَيْهِ زَكَاةٌ قَالَ «لاَ» قَالَ قُلْتُ فَعَلَى سَيِّدِهِ فَقَالَ «لاَ لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَصِلْ إِلَى اَلسَّيِّدِ وَ لَيْسَ هُوَ لِلْمَمْلُوكِ.

In another report from Abdullah ibn Sinan, he said: I asked him (Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s)) "A slave has wealth in his possession. Is Zakat obligatory on it?" The Imam (a.s) replied: "No." I then asked: "Is it obligatory on his master?" Imam (a.s) replied: "No, because it has not reached the master, and it does not belong to the slave."
