2039 - رَوَى اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ فَضَّالٍ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ قَوْمٍ عِنْدَنَا يُصَلُّونَ وَ لاَ يَصُومُونَ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ وَ رُبَّمَا اِحْتَجْتُ إِلَيْهِمْ يَحْصُدُونَ لِي فَإِذَا دَعَوْتُهُمْ لِلْحَصَادِ لَمْ يُجِيبُونِي حَتَّى أُطْعِمَهُمْ وَ هُمْ يَجِدُونَ مَنْ يُطْعِمُهُمْ فَيَذْهَبُونَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَ يَدَعُونِي وَ أَنَا أَضِيقُ مِنْ إِطْعَامِهِمْ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَكَتَبَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِخَطِّهِ «أَعْرِفُهُ أَطْعِمْهُمْ ».
Hadith.2039 - It is narrated by Al-Husayn ibn Sa’id, from Ibn Faddal, who said:
"I wrote to Abu Al-Hasan Al-Ridha 
, asking him about a group of people among us who pray but do not fast during the Month of Ramadan. Sometimes I need their help to harvest my crops, but if I call them for the harvest, they do not respond unless I feed them. They also find others who provide them with food, so they go to them and leave me. I am constrained in my ability to feed them during Month of Ramadan.”
Imam wrote back in his handwriting: 'Recognize their situation; feed them.'
