1794 - وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ اَلْمُثَنَّى قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنِّي قَدِ اِشْتَدَّ عَلَيَّ صَوْمُ ثَلاَثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فِي كُلِّ شَهْرٍ فَمَا يُجْزِي عَنِّي أَنْ أَتَصَدَّقَ مَكَانَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ بِدِرْهَمٍ فَقَالَ «صَدَقَةُ دِرْهَمٍ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ صِيَامِ يَوْمٍ ».
Hadith.1794 - It is narrated by Ibn Muskan from Ibrahim ibn al-Muthanna, who said:
"I said to Abu Abdullah (Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq 
): 'Fasting three days every month has become difficult for me. What would suffice for me? Can I give charity in place of each day, a dirham?'
Imam said: 'Giving charity of a dirham is better than fasting a day.'"
