١ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ وَغَيْرِهِ عَنْ زِيَادٍ الْقَنْدِيِّ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ قَالَ إِذَا أَعْطَيْتُمُوهُمْ فَلَقِّنُوهُمُ الدُّعَاءَ فَإِنَّهُ يُسْتَجَابُ الدُّعَاءُ لَهُمْ فِيكُمْ وَلا يُسْتَجَابُ لَهُمْ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ.
1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from Ya’qub ibn Yazid and other people from Ziyad al- Qandiy from those whom he has mentioned who have said the following: “He (the Imam) has said, ‘When you give charity, ask them to pray; their prayer for you is answered, but it is not heard for themselves.”’
