Hadith.1614 - Sama'ah narrated from Abu Basir, who reported from Abu Abdullah (Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq 
). He said:
I asked him, "A man leaves his family with a provision of three thousand dirhams for two years' expenses. Is Zakat due on it?"
Imam replied: "If he is present, Zakat is due on it. If he is absent, there is nothing due on it."
