Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man among those present said: "O Messenger of Allah, what is your view if a man pays the zakah of his wealth?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever pays the zakah of his wealth, the evil of his wealth departs from him."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its chain is hasan (good), even though some of its narrators have been criticised.
