The Sufficient (Vol 5) · Hadith 448 (#Ḥadīth #4)

4- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِي جَرِيرٍ الْقُمِّيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ فِي الرَّجُلِ يُهْدِي بِالْهَدِيَّةِ إِلَى ذِي قَرَابَتِهِ يُرِيدُ الثَّوَابَ وَهُوَ سُلْطَانٌ فَقَالَ مَا كَانَ للهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَلِصِلَةِ الرَّحِمِ فَهُوَ جَائِزٌ وَلَهُ أَنْ يَقْبِضَهَا إِذَا كَانَ لِلثَّوَابِ.

4. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ii; ibn Mehran from abu Jarir al-Qummiy who has said the following: “I once, about the case of a man who gifts something to a relative who is a sultan but he seeks thawab (reward from Allah), asked abu al-Hassan . He (the Imam) replied, ‘What is for Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, and to keep good relations with relatives is permissible. He must accept the gift if it is for thawab.’”
