Chapter on Prohibition of Making Charity Difficult for People
Hadith 675
حَدَّثَنِي حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ ، عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ : مُرَّ عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ بِغَنَمٍ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ فَرَأَى فِيهَا شَاةً حَافِلًا ذَاتَ ضَرْعٍ عَظِيمٍ ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : مَا هَذِهِ الشَّاةُ ؟ فَقَالُوا : شَاةٌ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : " مَا أَعْطَى هَذِهِ أَهْلُهَا وَهُمْ طَائِعُونَ ، لَا تَفْتِنُوا النَّاسَ لَا تَأْخُذُوا حَزَرَاتِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ نَكِّبُوا عَنِ الطَّعَامِ "
It is narrated from Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that goats of zakat came to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). Among them, he saw a goat that gave a lot of milk, so he asked: What is the matter with this goat? The people said: It is a goat of zakat. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Its owner would never have given it willingly. Do not put people into trial, do not take their best wealth, and refrain from seizing their sustenance.
Hadith 676
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي رَجُلَانِ مِنْ أَشْجَعَ ، أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ مَسْلَمَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ كَانَ يَأْتِيهِمْ مُصَدِّقًا ، فَيَقُولُ لِرَبِّ الْمَالِ : " أَخْرِجْ إِلَيَّ صَدَقَةَ مَالِكَ " فَلَا يَقُودُ إِلَيْهِ شَاةً فِيهَا وَفَاءٌ مِنْ حَقِّهِ إِلَّا قَبِلَهَا
It is narrated from Muhammad bin Yahya bin Haban that two persons from the tribe of Ashja‘ informed me that Muhammad bin Maslamah Ansari used to come to collect zakat and would say to the owner of the wealth: Bring to me the zakat of your wealth. Then, whoever brought a goat, if it was suitable for zakat, he would accept it.
Hadith 676B
قَالَ مَالِك : السُّنَّةُ عِنْدَنَا وَالَّذِي أَدْرَكْتُ عَلَيْهِ أَهْلَ الْعِلْمِ بِبَلَدِنَا أَنَّهُ لَا يُضَيَّقُ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ فِي زَكَاتِهِمْ وَأَنْ يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُمْ مَا دَفَعُوا مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: In our view, the Sunnah is this, and we found the scholars of our city upon it, that no hardship should be imposed upon Muslims in taking zakat, and whatever they give should be accepted.
