Chapter: What kind of camels should be taken
Hadith 1801
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ الثَّقَفِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي لَيْلَى الْكِنْدِيِّ ، عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفَلَةَ ، قَالَ : " جَاءَنَا مُصَدِّقُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخَذْتُ بِيَدِهِ ، وَقَرَأْتُ فِي عَهْدِهِ ، لَا يُجْمَعُ بَيْنَ مُتَفَرِّقٍ ، وَلَا يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَ مُجْتَمِعٍ خَشْيَةَ الصَّدَقَةِ ، فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ بِنَاقَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ مُلَمْلَمَةٍ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْخُذَهَا ، فَأَتَاهُ بِأُخْرَى دُونَهَا فَأَخَذَهَا ، وَقَالَ : أَيُّ أَرْضٍ تُقِلُّنِي ، وَأَيُّ سَمَاءٍ تُظِلُّنِي ، إِذَا أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَدْ أَخَذْتُ خِيَارَ إِبِلِ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ " .
´It was narrated that:` Suwaid bin Ghafalah said: ”The Zakah collector of the Prophet came to us, and I took him by the hand and read in his order: 'Do not gather separate herds and do not separate herd for fear of Sadaqah'. A man brought him a huge, fat she-camel, but he refused to accept it. So he brought him another of lower quality and he accepted it. He said: 'What land would shelter me, if I came to the Messenger of Allah having taken the nest of a Muslim man's camels?' ”
