Abdur Rahman bin Abi Laila narrates: Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) paid the zakat on the wealth of the children of Sayyiduna Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him). The narrator states: When Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) handed over that wealth to those people, they found the amount to be less. They said: “This wealth seems less to us.” Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “Do you think that I would have any wealth with me and not pay its zakat?”
