My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Ismail b. Bazee’ from Muhammad b. Adhafir from ’Amru b. Yazid from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) was asked, “Should we give Sadaqah to beggars or to our near relatives?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Give it to your near relatives for it carries greater reward.”
