Hadith.1694 - Imam (as) said:
"If people were to take what Allah (swt) commanded them to take and spend it on what He prohibited, He would not accept it from them. And if they were to take what Allah (swt) prohibited and spend it on what He commanded, He would not accept it from them—until they take it lawfully and spend it lawfully."
1694 - وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «لَوْ أَنَّ اَلنَّاسَ أَخَذُوا مَا أَمَرَهُمُ اَللَّهُ بِهِ فَأَنْفَقُوهُ فِيمَا نَهَاهُمْ عَنْهُ مَا قَبِلَهُ مِنْهُمْ وَ لَوْ أَخَذُوا مَا نَهَاهُمُ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَأَنْفَقُوهُ فِيمَا أَمَرَهُمُ اَللَّهُ بِهِ مَا قَبِلَهُ مِنْهُمْ حَتَّى يَأْخُذُوهُ مِنْ حَقٍّ وَ يُنْفِقُوهُ فِي حَقٍّ».
