وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «فِي اَلسُّؤَّالِ أَطْعِمُوا ثَلاَثَةً وَ إِنْ شِئْتُمْ أَنْ تَزْدَادُوا فَازْدَادُوا وَ إِلاَّ فَقَدْ أَدَّيْتُمْ حَقَّ يَوْمِكُمْ.

Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s) said: "When it comes to the beggars, feed three of them, and if you wish to give more, then give more; otherwise, you have fulfilled the obligation of your day."
