Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: Some young men from Banu Hashim came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, appoint us as officials to collect the zakah, so that we may receive from it what other people receive, and we will discharge it just as they discharge it." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, we, the family of Muhammad, charity is not lawful for us; it is the dirt of people. But I do not think, concerning you, that when I take hold of the ring of the door of Paradise I will prefer anyone over you."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. Its chain contains Abdullah bin Ja'far, the father of Ali bin al-Madini, and he is da'if (weak).
