٣ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ لاَ تَصْرِمْ بِاللَّيْلِ وَلاَ تَحْصُدْ بِاللَّيْلِ وَلاَ تُضَحِّ بِاللَّيْلِ وَلاَ تَبْذُرْ بِاللَّيْلِ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ تَفْعَلْ لَمْ يَأْتِكَ الْقَانِعُ وَالْمُعْتَرُّ فَقُلْتُ مَا الْقَانِعُ وَالْمُعْتَرُّ قَالَ الْقَانِعُ الَّذِي يَقْنَعُ بِمَا أَعْطَيْتَهُ وَالْمُعْتَرُّ الَّذِي يَمُرُّ بِكَ فَيَسْأَلُكَ وَإِنْ حَصَدْتَ بِاللَّيْلِ لَمْ يَأْتِكَ السُّؤَّالُ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الله تَعَالَى آتُوا حَقَّهُ يَوْمَ حَصادِهِ عِنْدَ الْحَصَادِ يَعْنِي الْقَبْضَةَ بَعْدَ الْقَبْضَةِ إِذَا حَصَدْتَهُ وَإِذَا خَرَجَ فَالْحَفْنَةَ بَعْدَ الْحَفْنَةِ وَكَذَلِكَ عِنْدَ الصِّرَامِ وَكَذَلِكَ عِنْدَ الْبَذْرِ وَلاَ تَبْذُرْ بِاللَّيْلِ لأَنَّكَ تُعْطِي مِنَ الْبَذْرِ كَمَا تُعْطِي مِنَ الْحَصَادِ.
3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Washsha’ from ‘Abd Allah ibn Muskan from abu Basir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘Do not harvest or pick-up fruits during the night, do not offer sacrifice during the night, and do not sow seeds during the night. If you did so there will be no al-Qani‘ or al-Mu‘tar (those who ask only once and those who ask many times).’ I then asked, ‘What is al-Qani‘ and al-Mu‘tar?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Al-Qani‘ is one who is satisfied when you give him and al-Mu‘tar is one who passes by and asks you. If you harvest during the night the one asking will not come. This is mentioned in the words of Allah, most, High. “Give His right on the day of its harvest,” at the time of harvest, bunch by bunch when you harvest, and when it is out give a handful after handful so also at the time of cutting and at the time of sowing the seed give from seed just as you give from the harvest.’”
