Hadith 180
۞
Hadith.1582 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said:
"Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, has prescribed Zakat as twenty-five dirhams for every thousand because He created the creation and knew their wealthy and their poor, their strong and their weak. He allocated from every thousand an amount sufficient for twenty-five poor individuals. If this were not sufficient, Allah (swt) would have increased it, for He is their Creator and knows them best."
1582 - وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : «إِنَّمَا جَعَلَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ اَلزَّكَاةَ فِي كُلِّ أَلْفٍ خَمْسَةً وَ عِشْرِينَ دِرْهَماً لِأَنَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ خَلَقَ اَلْخَلْقَ فَعَلِمَ غَنِيَّهُمْ وَ فَقِيرَهُمْ وَ قَوِيَّهُمْ وَ ضَعِيفَهُمْ فَجَعَلَ مِنْ كُلِّ أَلْفٍ خَمْسَةً وَ عِشْرِينَ مِسْكِيناً وَ لَوْ لاَ ذَلِكَ لَزَادَهُمُ اَللَّهُ لِأَنَّهُ خَالِقُهُمْ وَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِمْ.
