وَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى أَمِيرِ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَصَبْتُ مَالاً أَغْمَضْتُ فِيهِ أَ فَلِي تَوْبَةٌ قَالَ «اِئْتِنِي بِخُمُسِهِ» فَأَتَاهُ بِخُمُسِهِ فَقَالَ «هُوَ لَكَ إِنَّ اَلرَّجُلَ إِذَا تَابَ تَابَ مَالُهُ مَعَهُ.

A man came to Amir al-Mu'minin (Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s)) and said: "O Amir al-Mu'minin, I have acquired wealth through questionable means. Is there repentance for me?" The Imam (a.s) replied: "Bring me its Khums." The man brought him the Khums, and the Imam (a.s) said: "It is yours. When a person repents, his wealth repents with him."
