قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أُطْعِمُ سَائِلًا لَا أَعْرِفُهُ مُسْلِماً فَقَالَ نَعَمْ أَعْطِ مَنْ لَا تَعْرِفُهُ بِوَلَايَةٍ وَ لَا عَدَاوَةٍ لِلْحَقِّ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ- وَ قُولُوا لِلنَّاسِ حُسْناً وَ لَا تُطْعِمْ مَنْ نَصَبَ لِشَيْ‌ءٍ مِنَ الْحَقِّ أَوْ دَعَا إِلَى شَيْ‌ءٍ مِنَ الْبَاطِلِ.

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Hariz from Sadir al-Sayrafiy who has said the following: “I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), ‘I know someone is asking for help, but I do not know if he is a Muslim or not.’ The Imam said, ‘You can give charity to one whom you do not know is a friend or enemy of the truth. Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, has said, “Say good words to people.” (2:83) Do not give charity to those who are hostile to the truth or call people to something of falsehood.’”

Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.
