It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from ibn Faddal and ibn Mahbub from Yunus ibn Ya’qub from abu Basir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that in al-Madinah people said, ‘Al-Hassan (a.s.), has no assets. 5 Al-Hassan (a.s.), sent to a man in al-Madinah, borrowed one thousand dirham from him and sent it to the charity collector saying, ‘It is the charity due on our assets. 5 People said, ‘Al-Hassan (a.s.), has not sent it without a reason.

This is because of a certain amount of assets." وثق - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (22/314))
