Hadith 2488

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَزِيزٍ الأَيْلِيُّ ، أَنَّ سَلامَةَ حَدَّثَهُمْ , عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ : وَأَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ هُرْمُزَ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , يَقُولُ : " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ، لا تُقَسِّمُ وَرَثَتِي شَيْئًا مِمَّا تَرَكْتُ ، مَا تَرَكْنَاهُ صَدَقَةٌ " ، وَكَانَتْ هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَةُ بِيَدِ عَلِيٍّ غَلَبَ عَلَيْهَا عَبَّاسًا ، وَطَالَتْ فِيهَا خُصُومَتُهَا ، فَأَبَى عُمَرُ أَنْ يَقْسِمَهَا بَيْنَهُمَا حَتَّى أَعْرَضَ عَنْهَا عَبَّاسٌ غَلَبَهُ عَلَيْهَا عَلِيٌّ ، ثُمَّ كَانَتْ عَلَى يَدِ حَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ، ثُمَّ بِيَدِ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ، ثُمَّ بِيَدِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ ، وَحَسَنِ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ ، فَكَانَا يَتَدَاوِلانِهَا ، ثُمَّ بِيَدِ زَيْدِ بْنِ حَسَنٍ ، وَهِيَ صَدَقَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَقًّا
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "By the One in Whose hand is my soul, whatever I leave behind, my heirs will not distribute it. Whatever wealth we (the Prophets) leave behind is charity." This charity was first in the possession of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). Then Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) gained control over it. There was a long dispute between these two gentlemen regarding it. (Then both wanted to distribute it), but Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) refused to distribute this wealth between the two. Until Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) withdrew from this wealth and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) gained control over it. Then it remained under the management of Sayyiduna Ali's son, Sayyiduna Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him). Then it came under the supervision of Sayyiduna Husayn bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both). After them, it was managed by their sons, Ali bin Husayn and Hasan bin Husayn, who managed it alternately. Then it came under the supervision of Hazrat Zaid bin Hasan. Whereas it is the true charity of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
