رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ اَلْحَلَبِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ مَنِ اَلَّذِي أُجْبَرُ عَلَى نَفَقَتِهِ قَالَ "اَلْوَالِدَانِ وَ اَلْوَلَدُ وَ اَلزَّوْجَةُ وَ اَلْوَارِثُ اَلصَّغِيرُ يَعْنِي اَلْأَخَ وَ اِبْنَ اَلْأَخِ وَ غَيْرَهُ".
Muhammad ibn Ali al-Halabi narrated from Abu Abdillah (a.s): I said to Imam (a.s): "Who are those whom I am obligated to provide for?" Imam (a.s) said: "The parents, the child, the wife, and the minor heir - meaning the brother, the brother's son, and others."
