1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Sa’d b. Abdillah who said it was narrated to us by Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Isa from al-Hussain b. Sa’eed from Fadhalah b. Ayoob’ from al-Hassan b. Uthman from Ibn Muskan who said it was narrated to me by Ibrahim b. al-Muthana who said: The narrator asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.), “It is difficult for me to fast for three days every month. Is it enough that I give one dirham in charity for every fast?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Giving a dirham in charity is better than fasting for a day.”
IsnādAbi Rah a dit: Sa'd ibn Abdullah nous a informés, il a dit: Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn 'Isa nous a informés, de Al-Husayn ibn Sa'id, de Fadalah ibn Ayyub, de Al-Hasan ibn 'Uthman, d'Ibn Muskan, qui a dit: Ibrahim ibn Al-Muthanna m'a informé, il a dit: J'ai dit à Abi Abdullah (as): "Je jeûne trois jours de chaque mois et je veux donner en charité l'équivalent d'un dirham chaque jour, est-ce suffisant?" Il a répondu: "Donner un dirham en charité vaut mieux que jeûner un jour."
