Chapters on Collectors of Zakat
(70) بَابُ الزَّجْرِ عَنِ اسْتِعْمَالِ مَوَالِي النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ إِذَا طَلَبُوا الْعِمَالَةَ عَلَى السِّعَايَةِ،
70| Chapter on the prohibition of employing the Prophet’s freed slaves to collect zakat if they seek the job
Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 2344 — 70| Chapter on the prohibition of employing
إِذِ الْمَوَالِي مِنْ أَنْفُسِ الْقَوْمِ، وَالصَّدَقَةُ تَحْرُمُ عَلَيْهِمْ كَتَحْرِيمِهَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَدَقَةُ الْفَرْضِ دُونَ صَدَقَةِ التَّطَوُّعِ
When the freed slaves are from the people themselves, and charity is forbidden to them just as it is forbidden to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him—the obligatory charity, but not the voluntary charity.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ عُتَيْبَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ مَوَالِي النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلا مِنْ بَنِي مَخْزُومٍ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ ، فَقَالَ لِي : اصْحَبْنِي ، فَقُلْتُ : لا ، حَتَّى آتِيَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَسْأَلُهُ قَالَ : فَأَتَاهُ فَسَأَلَهُ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّا لا تَحِلُّ لَنَا الصَّدَقَةُ ، وَإِنَّ مَوَالِيَ الْقَوْمِ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ "
The freed slave of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), Sayyiduna Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him), narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) sent a man from Banu Makhzum to collect zakat, so he said to me, “Come with me.” I replied, “No, not until I go to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and seek permission from him.” He says that I went to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and asked him about this matter, so the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Indeed, zakat wealth is not lawful for us, and the freed slaves of a people are counted among that people.”
