Muhammad ibn Yaqub, from Ali ibn Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad ibn Isa, from Hariz, from Burayd ibn Muawiyah, who said:
I heard Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, saying: “Commander of the Faithful (a.s), peace be upon him, sent a collector of charity (musaddiq) from al-Kufah to its desert, so Imam (a.s) said to him: ‘Go forth, O servant of Allah (swt), and upon you is the fear of Allah (swt) alone, who has no partner, and never prefer your world over your Hereafter. Be a guardian over what I have entrusted you with, observing the right of Allah (swt) in it, until you come to the assembly of the Banu ‘so-and-so’. When you arrive, then stop at their water without mixing with their houses, then proceed to them with calmness and dignity until you stand among them and greet them. Then say to them: ‘O servants of Allah (swt), the wali of Allah (swt) has sent me to you so that I may take from you the right of Allah (swt) in your wealth. Is there a right of Allah (swt) in your wealth, so that you may pay it to His (swt) wali?’ If someone says to you: ‘No’, then do not return to him. But if one of them responds affirmatively to you, then go with him without frightening him or promising him anything except good. When you come to his wealth, do not enter it except with his permission, for most of it belongs to him. So say to him: ‘O servant of Allah (swt), do you permit me to enter your wealth?’ If he permits you, then do not enter with the entry of one who dominates him in it, nor one who is harsh with him. Divide the wealth into two divisions, then give him the choice of whichever of the two divisions he wishes. Whichever of them he chooses, do not object to him. Then divide the remaining into two divisions, then give him the choice, and whichever of them he chooses, do not object to him. Continue like that until there remains that in which there is fulfilment of the right of Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic, in his wealth. When that remains, then take the right of Allah (swt) from it. If he asks you to release him from the transaction, then release him; then mix them both together and do the like of what you did first, until you take the right of Allah (swt) in his wealth. When you have taken it, do not appoint over it except one who is sincere, compassionate, trustworthy, preserving, and not harsh with anything from it. Then bring down to us what has gathered with you from every assembly, so that we may place it where Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic, has commanded. When your messenger brings them down, then instruct him not to separate a she-camel from her young one (fasil), and not to separate between them, and not to withhold her milk, lest that harm her young one. He should not exhaust her (she-camel) by riding, and he should be just among them in that. He should bring them (camels) to every water he passes by, and he should not turn them away from the plants of the earth to the middle of the roads at the hour in which they rest and are milked in the evening. He should be gentle with them (camels) to the utmost of his ability until they come to us, by the permission of Allah (swt), healthy, fat, not tired and not exhausted. Then we shall divide them, by the permission of Allah (swt), according to the Book of Allah (swt) and the Sunnah of His Prophet (saws), Allah (swt) bless him and his family, among the awliya of Allah (swt). Indeed, that is greater for your reward and nearer to your right guidance. Allah (swt) looks at them, and at you, and at your effort, and your sincerity toward the one who sent you and toward whose need you were sent. For indeed, the Messenger of Allah (swt), Allah (swt) bless him and his family, said: ‘Allah (swt) does not look at a wali of His (swt) who exerts himself in obedience and sincerity toward his Imam, except that he will be with us in the highest company.’” He (narrator) said: “Then Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, wept. Then Imam al-Sadiq (a.s) said: “O Burayd, by Allah (swt), no sanctity of Allah (swt) has remained except that it has been violated, and neither the Book of Allah (swt) nor the Sunnah of His Prophet (saws) has been acted upon in this world, And no legal punishment has been established among this creation since Allah (swt) took Commander of the Faithful (a.s), peace be upon him, and nothing of the truth has been acted upon until this day of the people.” Then Imam al-Sadiq (a.s) said: “Indeed, by Allah (swt), the days and nights will not pass until Allah (swt) gives life to the dead, causes the living to die, returns the truth to its people, and establishes His (swt) religion which He (swt) approved for Himself (swt) and His Prophet (saws). So rejoice, then rejoice, for by Allah (swt), the truth is only in your hands.”
