Hadith.1743 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) was asked about a beggar who asks without it being known what their true condition is. Imam (as) said: "Give to the one for whom your heart feels mercy." Imam (as) also said: "Give him less than a dirham." I asked, "What is the most that can be given?" Imam (as) replied: "Four daniqs."
