لَا وَ لَوْ جَعَلَهُ حُلِيّاً أَوْ نُقَراً فَلَا شَيْءَ عَلَيْهِ وَ مَا مَنَعَ نَفْسَهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ فَهُوَ أَكْثَرُ مِمَّا مَنَعَ مِنْ حَقِّ اللَّهِ الَّذِي يَكُونُ فِيهِ.

Hadith.1624 - Umar ibn Yazid asked Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) about a man who evaded paying Zakat on his wealth by purchasing land or a house with it. He asked: "Is anything still due on it?" The Imam (as) replied: "No, even if he turned it into jewellery or silver nuggets, nothing is due on it. However, by withholding what he owed to Allah (swt), he deprived himself of a greater blessing than what he withheld from Allah’s (swt) right."
