Hadith 3480
عَنْ أَبِي الْحَوْرَائِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: مَا تَذْكُرُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَ: أَذْكُرُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنِّي أَخَذْتُ تَمْرَةً مِنْ تَمْرِ الصَّدَقَةِ فَجَعَلْتُهَا فِي فِيِّ، قَالَ: فَنَزَعَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِلُعَابِهَا، فَجَعَلَهَا فِي التَّمْرِ، فَقِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! مَا كَانَ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ هَذِهِ التَّمْرَةِ لِهَذَا الصَّبِيِّ؟ قَالَ: ((وَإِنَّا آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ لَا تَحِلُّ لَنَا الصَّدَقَةُ))، قَالَ: وَكَانَ يَقُولُ: ((دَعْ مَا يَرِيبُكَ إِلَى مَا لَا يَرِيبُكَ، فَإِنَّ الصِّدْقَ طَمَأْنِينَةٌ، وَإِنَّ الْكَذِبَ رِيبَةٌ))، قَالَ: وَكَانَ يُعَلِّمُنَا هَذَا الدُّعَاءَ: ((اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي فِيمَنْ هَدَيْتَ، وَعَافِنِي فِيمَنْ عَافَيْتَ، وَتَوَلَّنِي فِيمَنْ تَوَلَّيْتَ، وَبَارِكْ لِي فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَ، وَقِنِي شَرَّ مَا قَضَيْتَ، إِنَّكَ تَقْضِي وَلَا يُقْضَى عَلَيْكَ، إِنَّهُ لَا يَذِلُّ مَنْ وَالَيْتَ))، قَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَأَظُنُّهُ قَدْ قَالَ هَذِهِ أَيْضًا: ((تَبَارَكْتَ رَبَّنَا وَتَعَالَيْتَ))
Abu Hurairah says: I asked Sayyiduna Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): Do you remember any special thing from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? He said: I remember that once I picked up a date from the dates of charity and put it in my mouth. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took it out from my mouth along with the saliva and put it back in the pile of dates. Someone said: O Messenger of Allah! What harm is there if this child takes one date? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: We are the family of Muhammad, and charity is not lawful for us. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also used to say: Leave that which is doubtful for that which is not doubtful; there is tranquility in truth and anxiety and disturbance in falsehood. Then Sayyiduna Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also taught us this supplication: Allahumma ihdini fiman hadayt, ... tabarakta rabbana wa ta'alayt. That is: O Allah! Guide me among those whom You have guided, and grant me well-being among those whom You have granted well-being, and befriend me among those whom You have befriended, and bless me in what You have given, and protect me from the evil You have decreed. Surely, You alone decree and none can decree against You, and whomever You befriend can never be humiliated. O our Lord! You are greatly blessed and highly exalted.
Hadith 3481
عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ شَيْبَانَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: مَا تَذْكُرُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَ: أَدْخَلَنِي غُرْفَةَ الصَّدَقَةِ فَأَخَذْتُ مِنْهَا تَمْرَةً فَأَلْقَيْتُهَا فِي فَمِي، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((أَلْقِهَا فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَحِلُّ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَا لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ))
Rabi’ah bin Shayban says: I said to Sayyiduna Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): Do you remember anything special from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? He said: Once the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took me to the storehouse of zakat. I picked up a date from there and put it in my mouth. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Throw it away, for it is not lawful for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) or any member of his household.
Hadith 3482
عَنْ أَبِي الْحَوْرَاءِ قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ حَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا فَسُئِلَ: مَا عَقَلْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَمْشِي مَعَهُ فَمَرَّ عَلَى جَرِينٍ مِنْ تَمْرِ الصَّدَقَةِ فَأَخَذْتُ تَمْرَةً فَأَلْقَيْتُهَا فِي فَمِي فَأَخَذَهَا بِلُعَابِي، فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ: وَمَا عَلَيْكَ لَوْ تَرَكْتَهَا، قَالَ: ((إِنَّا آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ لَا تَحِلُّ لَنَا الصَّدَقَةُ))، قَالَ: وَعَقَلْتُ مِنْهُ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسَ
Abu Hurairah says: We were present with Sayyiduna Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), someone asked him if he remembered any special thing from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: Once I was walking with him (peace and blessings be upon him), he passed by a threshing floor where dates of zakat were lying. I took one date and put it in my mouth, but he (peace and blessings be upon him) took it out along with the saliva. Someone said: If you had left this date with the child, what harm would it have done to you? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Zakat is not lawful for us, the family of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Then Sayyiduna Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I also learned five prayers from him (peace and blessings be upon him).
Hadith 3483
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ يَقْسِمُ تَمْرًا مِنْ تَمْرِ الصَّدَقَةِ وَالْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا فِي حِجْرِهِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ حَمَلَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ، فَسَالَ لُعَابُهُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَرَفَعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأْسَهُ فَإِذَا تَمْرَةٌ فِي فِيهِ، فَأَدْخَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَهُ فَانْتَزَعَهَا مِنْهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: ((أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ الصَّدَقَةَ لَا تَحِلُّ لِآلِ مُحَمَّدِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ))
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We were present with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was distributing dates of charity, and Sayyiduna Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was in his (peace be upon him) lap. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) finished his work, he lifted Sayyiduna Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) onto his shoulder, and his saliva began to flow onto the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his head and looked, he saw a date in his mouth. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) put his hand into his mouth and took it out, and said: Do you not know that zakat is not lawful for the family of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Hadith 3484
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَى الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَخَذَ تَمْرَةً مِنْ تَمْرِ الصَّدَقَةِ فَلَكَهَا فِي فِيهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((كِخْ، كِخْ، ثَلَاثًا لَا تَحِلُّ لَنَا الصَّدَقَةُ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that when the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, saw Sayyiduna Hasan bin Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, pick up a date from the charity dates and chew it in his mouth, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said to him: Oh, oh, oh, charity is not lawful for us.
Hadith 3485
عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ نَائِمًا فَوَجَدَ تَمْرَةً تَحْتَ جَنْبِهِ فَأَخَذَهَا فَأَكَلَهَا، ثُمَّ جَعَلَ يَتَضَوَّرُ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ وَفَزِعَ لِذَلِكَ بَعْضُ أَزْوَاجِهِ، فَقَالَ: ((إِنِّي وَجَدْتُّ تَمْرَةً تَحْتَ جَنْبِي فَأَكَلْتُهَا فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنْ تَمْرِ الصَّدَقَةِ))
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was sleeping, and he found a date under his side. He (peace and blessings be upon him) picked it up and ate it, but later in the last part of the night, he (peace and blessings be upon him) became restless due to worry, so much so that some of his wives also became anxious. He (peace and blessings be upon him) explained the reason, saying: I found a date under my side and I ate it. Now I fear that perhaps it was a date from charity.
Hadith 3486
((وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) بِنَحْوِهِ، وَفِيهِ) فَأَكَلَهَا فَلَمْ يَنَمْ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُ نِسَائِهِ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! أَرِقْتَ الْبَارِحَةَ، قَالَ: ((إِنِّي وَجَدْتُّ تَحْتَ جَنْبِي تَمْرَةً فَأَكَلْتُهَا وَكَانَ عِنْدَنَا تَمْرٌ مِنْ تَمْرِ الصَّدَقَةِ فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنْهُ))
(Second chain of narration) In this it is stated: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ate that date, but he could not sleep the entire night. One of his wives asked: O Messenger of Allah! What was the reason that you suffered from sleeplessness last night? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: I found a date under my side and I ate it. There were also dates of charity kept with us, so now I fear that perhaps that date was from those charity dates.
Hadith 3487
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَهْلِهِ سَأَلَ عَنْهُ، فَإِنْ قِيلَ هَدِيَّةٌ أَكَلَ وَإِنْ قِيلَ صَدَقَةٌ قَالَ: ((كُلُوا)) وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) had this practice: when food was brought to him from somewhere other than his household, he (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) would inquire about it. If it was a gift, he would eat it, and if it was charity, he would say: "You eat it." He (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) would not eat it himself.
Hadith 3488
عَنْ بَهْزِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوُهُ
Sayyiduna Muawiyah bin Haydah (may Allah be pleased with him) also narrated a similar report from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
Hadith 3489
عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ اجْتَمَعَ رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ وَعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا فَقَالَا: وَاللَّهِ! لَوْ بَعَثْنَا هَذَيْنِ الْغُلَامَيْنِ، فَقَالَا لِي وَلِلْفَضْلِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمَّرَهُمَا عَلَى هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَاتِ فَأَدَّيَا مَا يُؤَدِّي النَّاسُ وَأَصَابَا مَا يُصِيبُ النَّاسُ مِنَ الْمَنْفَعَةِ، فَبَيْنَهُمَا فِي ذَلِكَ جَاءَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ: مَا ذَا تُرِيدَانِ؟ فَأَخْبَرَاهُ بِالَّذِي أَرَادَا، قَالَ: فَلَا تَفْعَلَا فَوَاللَّهِ! مَا هُوَ بِفَاعِلٍ، فَقَالَا: لَمْ تَصْنَعْ هَذَا؟ فَمَا هَذَا مِنْكَ إِلَّا نَفَاسَةً عَلَيْنَا لَقَدْ صَاحَبْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنِلْتَ صِهْرَهُ فَمَا نَفِسْنَا ذَلِكَ عَلَيْكَ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: أَنَا أَبُو حَسَنٍ، أَرْسِلُوهُمَا ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ قَالَ: صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ (يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ) سَبَقْنَاهُ إِلَى الْحُجْرَةِ فَقُمْنَا عِنْدَهَا حَتَّى مَرَّ بِنَا فَأَخَذَ بِأَيْدِينَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَخْرِجَا مَا تُصَرِّرَانِ، وَدَخَلَ فَدَخَلْنَا مَعَهُ وَهُوَ حِينَئِذٍ فِي بَيْتِ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ، قَالَ: فَكَلَّمْنَاهُ، فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! جِئْنَاكَ لِتُوَؤَمِّرَنَا عَلَى هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَاتِ فَنُصِيبَ مَا يُصِيبُ النَّاسُ مِنَ الْمَنْفَعَةِ وَنُؤَدِّي إِلَيْكَ مَا يُؤَدِّي النَّاسُ، قَالَ: فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى سَقْفِ الْبَيْتِ حَتَّى أَرَدْنَا أَنْ نُكَلِّمَهُ، فَأَشَارَتْ إِلَيْنَا زَيْنَبُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ حِجَابِهَا، كَأَنَّهَا تَنْهَانَا عَنْ كَلَامِهِ، وَأَقْبَلَ فَقَالَ: ((أَلَا إِنَّ الصَّدَقَةَ لَا تَنْبَغِي لِمُحَمَّدٍ وَلَا لِآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، إِنَّمَا هِيَ أَوْسَاخُ النَّاسِ، ادْعُوا لِي مَحْمِيَّةَ بْنَ جَزْءٍ))، وَكَانَ عَلَى الْعُشْرِ، وَأَبَا سُفْيَانَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ فَأَتَيَا فَقَالَ لِمَحْمِيَّةَ: ((أَصْدِقْ عَنْهُمَا مِنَ الْخُمُسِ))
Sayyiduna ‘Abd al-Muttalib bin Rabi‘ah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Sayyiduna Rabi‘ah bin Harith (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna ‘Abbas bin ‘Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) gathered together and consulted regarding me and Sayyiduna Fadl bin ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), and said: By Allah! If we send both of them to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) so that he appoints them over the collection of charity, in this way both of them will collect zakat and charity from the people and, like others, obtain financial benefit, i.e., wages, this is a good thing. While they were still consulting about this, Sayyiduna ‘Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived and asked: What are your intentions? When both of them informed him of their intention, Sayyiduna ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Do not do this, by Allah! The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) will not do this. They said: Why are you doing this? You are saying this merely out of jealousy, see, you stay in the company of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and you are also his son-in-law, but we have never been jealous of you. Sayyiduna ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: After all, I am Abu al-Hasan, too. Send both of them and see. Saying this, he lay down. ‘Abd al-Muttalib says: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had performed the Zuhr prayer, we went and stood by the chamber before him. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by us, he took our hands and said: What do you wish to say? Express whatever is in your hearts. With this, he (peace and blessings be upon him) went inside, and we also went inside with him. At that time, he (peace and blessings be upon him) was staying with Sayyidah Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her). We spoke to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! We have come to you so that you may appoint us over the collection of zakat and charity, so that we too may obtain financial benefit like others, and we too will collect and bring it to you (peace and blessings be upon him) like others. Hearing this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent, he (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his blessed head towards the ceiling of the room, we intended to say something, but Sayyidah Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her) gestured from behind the curtain to stop us from speaking. After a while, he (peace and blessings be upon him) turned to us and said: Beware! Charity is not lawful for Muhammad and the family of Muhammad; it is the filth of the people. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Call Mahmiya bin Juz, who was appointed over the ‘ushr (tithe). Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Mahmiya (may Allah be pleased with him): Pay the dowries of both of them from the khumus (one-fifth share).
Hadith 3490
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) أَنَّهُ هُوَ وَالْفَضْلُ أَتَيَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِيُزَوِّجَهُمَا وَيَسْتَعْمِلَهُمَا عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ فَيُصِيبَانِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((إِنَّ هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَةَ إِنَّمَا هِيَ أَوْسَاخُ النَّاسِ وَإِنَّهَا لَا تَحِلُّ لِمُحَمَّدٍ وَلَا لِآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِمَحْمِيَّةَ الزُّبَيْدِيِّ: ((زَوِّجِ الْفَضْلَ))، وَقَالَ لِنَوْفَلِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ: ((زَوِّجْ عَبْدَ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ))، وَقَالَ لِمَحْمِيَّةَ بْنِ جَزْءٍ الزُّبَيْدِيِّ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْتَعْمِلُهُ عَلَى الْأَخْمَاسِ فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصْدِقُ عَنْهُمَا مِنَ الْخُمُسِ شَيْئًا، لَمْ يُسَمِّهِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ
. (Second chain of narration) Sayyiduna Abdul Muttalib bin Rabee’ah (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Fadl bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) both came to the service of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) so that he (peace and blessings be upon him) would arrange their marriages and appoint them over the collection of charity so that they could gain some financial benefit in this way, but the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them: These charities are the impurities of the people and they are not lawful for Muhammad and the family of Muhammad. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Mahmiya Zubaidi (may Allah be pleased with him): Arrange the marriage of Fadl. And he said to Sayyiduna Naufal bin Harith bin Abdul Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him): You arrange the marriage of Abdul Muttalib bin Rabee’ah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to appoint Mahmiya Zubaidi over the collection of khumus. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: Pay the dowry of both of them from the khumus. Abdullah bin Harith did not specify its amount.
Hadith 3491
عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ أُمَّ كُلْثُومٍ بِنْتَ عَلِيٍّ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ فَرَدَّتْهَا وَقَالَتْ: حَدَّثَنِي مَوْلَى لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُقَالُ لَهُ مِهْرَانُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((إِنَّا آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ لَا تَحِلُّ لَنَا الصَّدَقَةُ وَمَوْلَى الْقَوْمِ مِنْهُمْ))
Ata bin Saib says: I brought an item of charity to Sayyida Umm Kulthum bint Ali (may Allah be pleased with her), but she returned it and said: Mawla Nabi Sayyidna Mehran narrated to me that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: We, the family of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), charity is not lawful for us, and also, the servant of a people is counted among them.
Hadith 3492
((وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) بِنَحْوِهِ وَفِيهِ:) أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: أَخْبَرَنِي مِهْرَانُ أَنَّهُ مَرَّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَهُ: ((يَا مَيْمُونُ أَوْ يَا مِهْرَانُ! إِنَّا أَهْلَ بَيْتٍ نُهِينَا عَنِ الصَّدَقَةِ، وَإِنَّ مَوَالِينَا مِنْ أَنْفُسِنَا وَلَا نَأْكُلُ الصَّدَقَةَ))
(Second chain) He said to me: Mehran narrated to me that he passed by the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, called him, saying: Maymun! Or Mehran! We are such a household that we have been forbidden from (accepting) charity. Our slaves are also from among us, and we do not eat charity.
Hadith 3493
عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ (مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَرَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ) قَالَ: مَرَّ عَلَيَّ الْأَرْقَمُ الزُّهْرِيُّ، أَوِ ابْنُ أَبِي الْأَرْقَمِ وَاسْتُعْمِلَ عَلَى الصَّدَقَاتِ قَالَ: فَاسْتَتْبَعَنِي (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: قَالَ: اِصْحَبْنِي كَيْمَا تُصِيبَ مِنْهَا) قَالَ: فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: ((يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ! إِنَّ الصَّدَقَةَ حَرَامٌ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَإِنَّ مَوْلَى الْقَوْمِ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ))
Mawla of the Messenger, Sayyiduna Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Arqam Zahri or Ibn Abi Arqam passed by me; they were appointed over the collection of charity. They took me along with them. In another narration, it is stated: They took me along so that I could also get something from it. When I returned, I asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this matter, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Charity is forbidden for Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and the family of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and the slave of a people is considered among them.
Hadith 3494
عَنْ سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِطَعَامٍ وَأَنَا مَمْلُوكٌ فَقُلْتُ: هَذِهِ صَدَقَةٌ، فَأَمَرَ أَصْحَابَهُ فَأَكَلُوا وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ بِطَعَامٍ فَقُلْتُ: هَذِهِ هَدِيَّةٌ، أَهْدَيْتُهَا لَكَ أَكْرَمَكَ اللَّهُ بِهَا فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُكَ لَا تَأْكُلُ الصَّدَقَةَ فَأَمَرَ أَصْحَابَهُ فَأَكَلُوا وَأَكَلَ مَعَهُمْ
Sayyiduna Salman al-Farsi (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I was a slave. One day I brought food to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: This is charity. (Upon hearing this) the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed the companions to eat, so they ate, but he himself did not eat. Then one day I brought food and said: May Allah honor you, this is a gift which I have brought for you, because I have seen that you do not eat charity. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed his companions, so they also ate, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ate with them.
