So we said to him -asws , \u2018May we be sacrificed for you -asws !

So we said to him -asws , \u2018May we be sacrificed for you -asws ! How did it come to be one from eight?\u2019 So he -asws said: \u2018Have you nor read the Book of Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic?\u2019 I said, \u2018May I be sacrificed for you -asws ! I have read it, but I do not know in which place it is\u2019.

So he -asws said: \u2018The Words of Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic: But rather, the charities are for the poor and the needy, and the office bearers upon it, and the ones (recently) inclined of their hearts (to Al-Islam), and ones in bondage, and the ones in debt, and in the Way of Allah, and the wayfarer [9:60] \u2019. Then he -asws made (the number) eight by his hand, and said: \u2018And similarly, Rasool Allah -saww divided it upon eight portions.

Therefore, the \u2018portion\u2019 is one from eight\u2019. [14] \n Can it be given to other than the Shias?
