بَابٌ: لَا تَحِلُّ الصَّدَقَةُ لِغَنِيٍّ وَلَا لِذِي مِرَّةٍ سَوِيٍّ
Chapter: Charity is not permissible for the rich or the strong and able
Sunan ad-Daraqutni 1994 — Charity is not permissible for the rich
حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْقَطَّانُ ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ كَرَامَةَ ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَدِيِّ بْنِ الْخِيَارِ ، أَخْبَرَنِي رَجُلانِ أَنَّهُمَا أَتَيَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ يَسْأَلانِهِ مِمَّا بِيَدَيْهِ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ ، فَرَفَعَ فِيهِمَا الْبَصَرَ وَخَفَضَهُ فَرَآهُمَا جَلِدَيْنِ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنْ شِئْتُمَا أَعْطَيْتُكُمَا مِنْهَا ، وَلا حَظَّ فِيهَا لِغَنِيٍّ وَلا لِقَوِيٍّ مُكْتَسِبٍ " .
Ubaidullah bin Adi narrates: Two men informed me of this; both were present with the Prophet (ﷺ) during the Farewell Pilgrimage. They asked the Prophet (ﷺ) for some of the zakat wealth that was with him. The Prophet (ﷺ) looked up and examined both of them. He observed that both were strong and able-bodied. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "If you wish, I will give you some of it, but it is not permissible to give it to a wealthy person or to one who is capable of earning."
