Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 4332

وَعَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ - رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ - قَالَ : أَتَى رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي ذُو مَالٍ كَثِيرٍ ، وَذُو أَهْلٍ ، وَمَالٍ ، وَحَاضِرَةٍ ، فَأَخْبِرْنِي كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ ، وَكَيْفَ أَنْفِقُ ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " تُخْرِجُ الزَّكَاةَ مِنْ مَالِكَ فَإِنَّهَا طُهْرَةٌ تُطَهِّرُكَ ، وَتَصِلُ أَقْرِبَاءَكَ ، وَتَعْرِفُ حَقَّ الْمِسْكِينِ ، وَالْجَارِ ، وَالسَّائِلِ " . فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَقْلِلْ لِي ! فَقَالَ : " آتِ ذَا الْقُرْبَى حَقَّهُ ، وَالْمِسْكِينَ ، وَابْنَ السَّبِيلِ ، وَلَا تُبَذِّرْ تَبْذِيرًا " . فَقَالَ : [ حَسْبِي ] يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِذَا أَدَّيْتُ الزَّكَاةَ إِلَى رَسُولِكَ فَقَدْ بَرِئْتُ مِنْهَا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " نَعَمْ إِذَا أَدَّيْتَهَا إِلَى رَسُولِي فَقَدْ بَرِئْتَ مِنْهَا ، وَلَكَ أَجْرُهَا ، وَإِثْمُهَا عَلَى مَنْ بَدَّلَهَا " .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man from Banu Tamim came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have a great deal of wealth; I have a family, I have property, and I have goods. Tell me what I should do and how I should spend." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Take out the zakah from your wealth, for it is a purification that will purify you; maintain ties with your relatives; and recognise the right of the needy, the neighbour and the one who asks." The man said: "O Messenger of Allah, make it brief for me." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Give the relatives their right, and the needy and the traveller (their right), and do not squander wastefully." He said: "O Messenger of Allah, this is sufficient for me. When I pay the zakah to your (peace and blessings be upon him) representative, will I be free of my obligation regarding it before Allah and His Messenger?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you pay it (the zakah) to my representative, you will be free of your obligation; you will have its reward, and the sin of it will be upon whoever alters it."
Ahmad recorded it, and al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
