باب إِبَاحَةِ الْهَدِيَّةِ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلِبَنِي هَاشِمٍ وَبَنِي الْمُطَّلِبِ وَإِنْ كَانَ الْمُهْدِي مَلَكَهَا بِطَرِيقِ الصَّدَقَةِ وَبَيَانِ أَنَّ الصَّدَقَةَ إِذَا قَبَضَهَا الْمُتَصَدَّقُ عَلَيْهِ زَالَ عَنْهَا وَصْفُ الصَّدَقَةِ وَحَلَّتْ لِكُلِّ أَحَدٍ مِمَّنْ كَانَتِ الصَّدَقَةُ مُحَرَّمَةً عَلَيْهِ:Chapter: Gifts are permissible for the Prophet (saws) and Banu Hashim and Banu Al-Muttalib, even if the giver acquired it by way of charity. When the receipient takes possession of Charity, it is no longer described as charity, and it is permissible for anyone for whom charity is otherwise unlawful
Hadith 1073
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، أَنَّ عُبَيْدَ بْنَ السَّبَّاقِ ، قَالَ : إِنَّ جُوَيْرِيَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا ، فَقَالَ : " هَلْ مِنْ طَعَامٍ ؟ ، قَالَتْ : لَا وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا عِنْدَنَا طَعَامٌ ، إِلَّا عَظْمٌ مِنْ شَاةٍ أُعْطِيَتْهُ مَوْلَاتِي مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ ، فَقَالَ : قَرِّبِيهِ فَقَدْ بَلَغَتْ مَحِلَّهَا " ،
Juwayriyah, the wife of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said that Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to her and said: Is there anything to eat? She said: Messenger of Allah, I swear by God, there is no food with us except a bone of goat which my freed maid-servant was given as sadaqa. Upon this he said: Bring that to me, for it (the sadaqa) has reached its destination.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، وَعَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ ، وَإسحاق بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ جَمِيعًا ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ .

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: This hadith establishes that if a person for whom it is permissible to receive charity (sadaqah) gives that charity to someone else as a gift, then even if it is not permissible for the latter to receive charity, it will be permissible for him to accept it as a gift. This is because it is no longer considered charity. Furthermore, it is also understood that it was permissible for the freed slaves (mawali) of the noble wives (azwaj mutahharat) to receive charity. Although, regarding the freed slaves (mawali) of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), there is a difference of opinion.
