Abdullah ibn San'an said that once he went to see Imam Sadiq (a.s) in the mosque. Imam Sadiq (a.s) had finished saying his afternoon prayers and was sitting facing the Qibla. He told Imam Sadiq (a.s): “O' grandson of the Prophet of God! There are several rulers who have entrusted their treasury with me, but do not pay you your due one-fifth levy. Should I return their property to them?” Imam Sadiq (a.s) replied: “I swear three times by the Lord of this Qibla that even if Ibn Muljam who has killed my grandfather (Imam Ali (a.s)) -and I wish to take revenge from him- entrusts his property with me, I shall return it to him.”
عن عبد الله بن سنان قال
دخلت على أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) وقد صلى العصر وهو جالس مستقبل القبلة في المسجد، فقلت: يا بن رسول الله، إن بعض السلاطين يأمننا على الأموال، يستودعناها وليس يدفع إليكم خمسكم، أفنؤديها إليهم؟ فقال: ورب هذه القبلة - ثلاث مرات - لو أن ابن ملجم قاتل أبي - فإني أطلبه يتستر لأنه قتل أبي - ائتمنني على أمانة لأديتها إليه.
