بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي أَخْذِ الصَّدَقَاتِ وَالتَّشْدِيدِ فِيهَاChapter on What is Reported Regarding Taking Charity and Strictness in It
Hadith 680
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ ، أَنَّ عَامِلًا لِعُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ كَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ يَذْكُرُ : أَنَّ رَجُلًا مَنَعَ زَكَاةَ مَالِهِ ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ : " أَنْ دَعْهُ وَلَا تَأْخُذْ مِنْهُ زَكَاةً مَعَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ " قَالَ : فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلَ فَاشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِ ، وَأَدَّى بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ زَكَاةَ مَالِهِ ، فَكَتَبَ عَامِلُ عُمَرَ إِلَيْهِ يَذْكُرُ لَهُ ذَلِكَ ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ أَنْ خُذْهَا مِنْهُ
It reached Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, that a governor wrote to Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz, may Allah have mercy on him, that a man does not give the zakat of his wealth. Hazrat Umar, may Allah have mercy on him, wrote in reply: Leave him and do not take zakat from him along with the Muslims. When this news reached that man, he felt bad and paid the zakat of his wealth. After that, the governor informed Hazrat Umar, may Allah have mercy on him, and he wrote in reply: Take the zakat from that man.
