Hawzah News Agency - Imam al-Sadiq, peace and blessings of God be upon him, says:
«اَلْمَعْرُوفُ زَكَاةُ اَلنِّعَمِ وَ اَلشَّفَاعَةُ زَكَاةُ اَلْجَاهِ وَ اَلْعِلَلُ زَكَاةُ اَلْأَبْدَانِ وَ اَلْعَفْوُ زَكَاةُ اَلظَّفَرِ وَ مَا أَدَّيْتَ زَكَاتَهُ فَهُوَ مَأْمُونُ اَلسَّلَبِ.»
"Good moral conduct is the zakat of bounties, intercession is the zakat of high status, ailments are the zakat of the body, amnesty is the zakat of victory, and all that you give out zakat on is protected from being snatched away from you."
Tuhaf al-'uqul , v. 1, p. 381
Note: Zakāt is a financial obligation in Islam based on which Muslims have to pay a certain amount of nine items to be spent for the poor and for other social purposes.
