وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ هُذَيْلِ بْنِ حَنَانٍ أَخِي جَعْفَرِ بْنِ حَنَانٍ اَلصَّيْرَفِيِّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنِّي دَفَعْتُ إِلَى أَخِي جَعْفَرٍ مَالاً فَهُوَ يُعْطِينِي مَا أُنْفِقُهُ وَ أَحُجُّ مِنْهُ وَ أَتَصَدَّقُ وَ قَدْ سَأَلْتُ مَنْ عِنْدَنَا فَذَكَرُوا أَنَّ ذَلِكَ فَاسِدٌ لاَ يَحِلُّ وَ أَنَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَنْتَهِيَ فِي ذَلِكَ إِلَى قَوْلِكَ فَقَالَ "أَ كَانَ يَصِلُكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَدْفَعَ إِلَيْهِ مَالَكَ" قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ "خُذْ مِنْهُ مَا يُعْطِيكَ وَ كُلْ وَ اِشْرَبْ وَ حُجَّ وَ تَصَدَّقْ فَإِذَا قَدِمْتَ اَلْعِرَاقَ فَقُلْ، جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ أَفْتَانِي بِهَذَا".
Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Hudhayl ibn Hanan, the brother of Ja'far ibn Hanan, the money changer, who said: I said to Abu Abdillah (a.s), "I gave my brother Ja'far some money, and he gives me from it what I spend, perform Hajj with, and give in charity. I asked the people around us, and they said that this is invalid and not permissible. I wish to follow your guidance in this matter." Imam (a.s) said: "Did he use to give to you before you entrusted him with your money?" I said: "Yes." Imam (a.s) said: "Then take what he gives you, eat, drink, perform Hajj, and give in charity. And when you return to Iraq, say, 'Ja'far ibn Muhammad (a.s) has given me this ruling.'"
