Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 17811 — he said: Banu Abd al-Muttalib gathered

حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، ثنا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ، أَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، قَالَ: اجْتَمَعَ بَنُو عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَقَالُوا: أَلَا تَسْأَلُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَجْعَلْ فِيكُمْ مَا جَعَلَ فِي بَنِي فُلَانٍ، يَجْعَلْ فِيكُمُ السِّعَايَةَ؟ فَلَقُوا عَلِيًّا فَكَلَّمُوهُ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَبَى ذَلِكَ لَكُمْ وَرَسُولُهُ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ لَكُمْ أَوْسَاخَ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ - أَوْ قَالَ: غُسَالَةَ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ - قَالَ عَبْدُ الْمُطَّلِبِ لِأَبِيهِ: أَرْسِلْنِي، فَأَرْسَلَ الْعَبَّاسُ ابْنَهُ الْفَضْلَ، فَأَتَيْنَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَدَخَلْنَا، فَخَصَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَّا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا تُصَرِّرَانِ هَهُنَا؟» فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، بَعَثَنَا قَوْمُكَ وَبَنُو عَمِّكَ لِتَجْعَلَ فِيهِمْ مَا جَعَلْتَ فِي النَّاسِ مِنَ السِّعَايَةِ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ» اللهَ أَبَى ذَلِكَ لَكُمْ وَرَسُولُهُ أَنْ تَأْكُلُوا أَوْسَاخَ - أَوْ قَالَ: غُسَالَةَ - أَيْدِي النَّاسِ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abd al-Muttalib bin Rabi'ah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: Banu Abd al-Muttalib gathered and said: "Why do you not ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to give you the responsibility that he has given to such-and-such a tribe, that is, to appoint you to collect the zakah?" So they met Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and spoke to him about it, and he said: "Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, and His Messenger have refused this for you, that you should be given the dirt of people's hands" - or he said: "the washings of people's hands." Abd al-Muttalib (bin Rabi'ah) said to his father: "Send me." And Sayyiduna al-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) sent his son al-Fadl. We came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and went in, and he met each one of us privately. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What are you two keeping hidden in your hearts?" I said: "O Messenger of Allah, your people and your cousins have sent us so that you may appoint them to collect the zakah just as you have appointed other people." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah and His Messenger have refused this for you, that you should eat the dirt" - or he said: "the washings - of people's hands."
