He (AS) instructed: 'Then fear Allah, fear Allah, concerning the lowest and most vulnerable class of society: those who possess no resources, the destitute, the needy, the afflicted, and the chronically ill! Within this segment are both the patient who do not beg and the desperate who are forced to plead. Safeguard for Allah's sake the duty He has entrusted to you regarding them, and assign them a designated share from the Public Treasury (Bayt al-Mal), as well as a share of the agricultural revenues of state lands in every province. For the most distant among them has the exact same entitlement as the nearest, and you are entrusted with the rights of every single one. Let not worldly pomp divert you from them, for you will never be excused for neglecting the small because you were attending to the monumental! And attend personally to orphans and the elderly who possess no livelihood and whose dignity prevents them from begging.'
