كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الثَّالِثِ ع أَنَّ قَوْماً سَأَلُونِي عَنِ الْفِطْرَةِ وَ يَسْأَلُونِّي أَنْ يَحْمِلُوا قِيمَتَهَا إِلَيْكَ وَ قَدْ بَعَثَ إِلَيْكَ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ عَامَ أَوَّلَ وَ سَأَلَنِي أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ فَنَسِيتُ ذَلِكَ وَ قَدْ بَعَثْتُ إِلَيْكَ الْعَامَ عَنْ كُلِّ رَأْسٍ مِنْ عِيَالِي بِدِرْهَمٍ عَلَى قِيمَةِ تِسْعَةِ أَرْطَالٍ بِدِرْهَمٍ فَرَأْيُكَ جَعَلَنِيَ اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ فِي ذَلِكَ فَكَتَبَ ع الْفِطْرَةُ قَدْ كَثُرَ السُّؤَالُ عَنْهَا وَ أَنَا أَكْرَهُ كُلَّ مَا أَدَّى إِلَى الشُّهْرَةِ فَاقْطَعُوا ذِكْرَ ذَلِكَ وَ اقْبِضْ مِمَّنْ دَفَعَ لَهَا وَ أَمْسِكْ عَمَّنْ لَمْ يَدْفَعْ.

24. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allah from ‘Abd Allah ibn Ja’far from Ayyub ibn Nuh who has said the following: “I once wrote to abu al-Hassan, the third (a.s.), that a (certain) people have asked me about al-Fitrah. They ask if they can bring its price to you. In the year before, this man had delivered to you. He had asked me to ask you but I had forgotten about it. This year I have sent you for every one of my dependents one dirham as price of nine Artal for one dirham. Grant us your decision, I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause. He (the Imam) wrote to me, ‘Questions about al- Fitrah have become so many and I dislike whatever leads to popularity (unnecessary propagation). Cut down its mention, accept from those who have given, and abstain from those who have not paid.’”
