قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يُعْطِي غَيْرَهُ اَلدَّرَاهِمَ يَقْسِمُهَا قَالَ «يَجْرِي لَهُ مِنَ اَلْأَجْرِ مِثْلُ مَا يَجْرِي لِلْمُعْطِي وَ لاَ يَنْقُصُ مِنْ أَجْرِهِ شَيْءٌ وَ لَوْ أَنَّ اَلْمَعْرُوفَ جَرَى عَلَى سَبْعِينَ يَداً لَأُوجِرُوا كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ أَجْرِ صَاحِبِهِ شَيْءٌ ».

Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s) said regarding a man who distributes dirhams on behalf of another: "He will receive a reward equal to that of the giver, without diminishing the giver's reward in any way. Even if the act of kindness passes through seventy hands, all of them will be rewarded without any reduction in the original giver's reward."
