And from him, from Abu Jafar, from al-Abbas ibn Maruf, from al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Faddal, from Yunus ibn Yaqub, who said: I (narrator) said to Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him: “My zakat becomes due upon me for a month; is it proper for me to withhold something from it, fearing that someone who asks me may come to me, so that it may be a reserve with me?” Imam عليه السلام said: “When the year has passed, then take it out from your wealth and do not mix it with anything, and give it however you wish.” He (narrator) said: “I asked: ‘Then if I write it down and record it, is that valid for me?’” Imam عليه السلام said: “Yes, it will not harm you.”
