أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِی عُمَیْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَقُولُ الصَّدَقَهُ بِالْیَدِ تَدْفَعُ مِیتَهَ السَّوْءِ وَ تَدْفَعُ سَبْعِینَ نَوْعاً مِنَ الْبَلَاءِ وَ تُفَکُّ عَنْ لُحِیِّ سَبْعِینَ شَیْطَاناً کُلُّهُمْ یَأْمُرُونَ أَنْ لَا تَفْعَلْ.

17. It is narrated that Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “Giving Sadaqah with hand keeps away unpleasant death. It keeps away seventy types of calamities and opens Satanic mouths all stopping the person from giving Sadaqah.”

18. Abi (rah) from Ali b. Ibrahim from his father from al-Nawfali from al-Sakuni from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) from his forefathers (a.s.) who said: Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his predecessors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) was asked, “Which Sadaqah is better?” The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) replied, “Giving Sadaqah to an inimical relative.”

20. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Ismail b. Bazee’ from Muhammad b. Adhafir from ’Amru b. Yazid from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) was asked, “Should we give Sadaqah to beggars or to our near relatives?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Give it to your near relatives for it carries greater reward.”

Shimr from Jabir from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: “The reward and punishment of good deeds and sins respectively has equal weight on Friday.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ سَعْدَانَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ: أَتَی سَائِلٌ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَشِیَّهَ الْخَمِیسِ فَسَأَلَهُ فَرَدَّهُ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَی جُلَسَائِهِ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّ عِنْدَنَا مَا یُتَصَدَّقُ عَلَیْهِ وَ لَکِنَّ الصَّدَقَهَ یَوْمَ الْجُمُعَهِ تُضَاعَفُ أَضْعَافاً.

Sinan who said: It is narrated that a beggar came to Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) on Thursday night. Imam returned him empty-handed and told the people present there, “I had enough money to give him as Sadaqah but Sadaqah given on Friday carries multiple rewards.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبَانٍ الْأَحْمَرِ عَنْ أَبِی أُسَامَهَ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ کَانَ عَلِیُّ بْنُ الْحُسَیْنِ ع یَقُولُ صَدَقَهُ السِّرِّ تُطْفِئُ غَضَبَ الرَّبِّ.
