The nature & one who is eligible for charity
عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ مَنْ شَكَّ فِي اللَّهِ بَعْدَ مَوْلِدِهِ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ لَمْ يَفِئْ إِلَى خَيْرٍ أَبَداً
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Usman Bin Isa, from a man,
(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘The one who doubts in Allah-azwj after his birth being upon the nature (natural disposition to believe in Allah-azwj), would not end up to anything good, ever!’[1]
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ الْفَقِيرُ الَّذِي يُتَصَدَّقُ عَلَيْهِ هَلْ عَلَيْهِ صَدَقَةُ الْفِطْرَةِ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ يُعْطِي مِمَّا يُتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ عَلَيْهِ
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, from Umar Bin Azina, from Zurara who said,
‘I said, ‘The Fitra which is given upon him as charity, would it be upon him that he gives the charity of Al-Fitra (from himself)?’ He-asws said: ‘He should give from what has been given as charity upon him’.[2]
