26ـ وَبِهَذَا الاسْنَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ قَدِمَ قَوْمٌ مِنْ خُرَاسَانَ عَلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا (a.s) فَسَأَلُوهُ أَنْ يَجْعَلَهُمْ فِي حِلٍّ مِنَ الْخُمُسِ فَقَالَ مَا أَمْحَلَ هَذَا تَمْحَضُونَّا بِالْمَوَدَّةِ بِأَلْسِنَتِكُمْ وَتَزْوُونَ عَنَّا حَقّاً جَعَلَهُ الله لَنَا وَجَعَلَنَا لَهُ وَهُوَ الْخُمُسُ لا نَجْعَلُ لا نَجْعَلُ لا نَجْعَلُ لاحَدٍ مِنْكُمْ فِي حِلٍّ.

26. Through the same chain of narrators it is narrated from Muhammad ibn Zayd who has said the following. “A group of people came from Khurasan to abu al-Hassan al-Rida (a.s). They asked him to set tehm free from the obligation of payment of al-Khums. The Imam (a.s) said, “What kind of plan is this? Do you try to love us purely only with your tongue and withheld from us the right that Allah has set for us? That right is al-Khums. We do not , do not and do not wave it to anyone of you.”
