Hadith 1654
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ ، وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، قَالَا :حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ هُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ ، عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، نَحْوَهُ ، زَادَ " أَبِي يُبَدِّلُهَا لَهُ " .
The aforesaid tradition has also been transmitted by Ibn Abbas through a different chain of narrators in a similar manner. This version adds: “My father exchanged them for him”.
Brief Explanation
1؎ : The meaning of this hadith is that Abdullah ibn Abbas radi Allahu anhuma says that my father, Abbas radi Allahu anhu, sent me to the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam so that you may exchange the camel which you had given him for one from the camels of charity (sadaqah). According to this meaning, it will be related to «من الصدقة‘‘ ’’يبدلها», not to «أعطاها», because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had given him this camel from wealth other than charity. Then, when the camels of charity arrived, he wished to exchange it. In this case, there is no need for the interpretation of Khattabi and Bayhaqi which they made regarding the above hadith.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
1654. Commentary: Allamah Khattabi says that there is no doubt that charity (sadaqah) was forbidden for Hazrat Abbas radi Allahu anhu... and due to the brevity of the narration, the reason for which these camels were given to him is not mentioned. Perhaps it is that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had borrowed some camels from him, and when they were returned, in reality, they were from the charity (sadaqah). And Imam Bayhaqi rahimahullah also says the same—that this narration has two possible meanings... It is possible that this incident occurred before the prohibition of charity, and the prohibition of charity for the family of the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was revealed later. And the second meaning could be that perhaps the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had borrowed camels from Hazrat Abbas radi Allahu anhu for the needy (masakin), which were later returned from the camels of charity (sadaqah).
