أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مَنْصُورٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الدَّامِغَانِيُّ بِبَيْهَقَ، مِنْ أَصْلِ سَمَاعِهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْقَزَّازُ، بِالْبَصْرَةِ، ثنا أَبُو هِشَامٍ الرِّفَاعِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا غُلَامَ بَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، فَقَالَ: " وَعَلَيْكَ " قَالَ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَخْوَالِكَ مِنْ وَلَدِ سَعْدِ بْنِ بَكْرٍ وَإِنِّي رَسُولُ قَوْمِي إِلَيْكَ وَوَافِدُهُمْ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى أَنْ قَالَ: فَإِنَّا قَدْ وَجَدْنَا فِي كِتَابِكَ، وَأَمَرَتْنَا رُسُلُكَ أَنْ نَأْخُذَ مِنْ حَوَاشِي أَمْوَالِنَا، وَنَضَعَهُ فِي فُقَرَائِنَا، فَأَنْشُدُكَ بِاللهِ أَهُوَ أَمَرَكَ بِذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ: " نَعَمْ " قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: هَذِهِ اللَّفْظَةُ إِنْ كَانَتْ مَحْفُوظَةً دَلَّتْ عَلَى جَوَازِ تَفْرِيقِ رَبِّ الْمَالِ زَكَاةَ مَالِهِ بِنَفْسِهِ، وَحَدِيثُ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فِي هَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ: آللَّهُ أَمَرَكَ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَةَ مِنْ أَغْنِيَائِنَا فَتَقْسِمَهَا فِي فُقَرَائِنَا؟ إِسْنَادُهُ أَصَحُّ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: A bedouin came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "Peace be upon you, O young man of Banu Abd al-Muttalib!" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Wa 'alayk' "And upon you too be peace." He said: "I am one of your maternal relatives, from the descendants of Sa'd bin Bakr, and I am the representative and delegate of my people." Then the narrator mentioned the hadith, including these words: "We found in your letter, and your messengers ordered us, that we take from the surplus of our wealth and spend it on our poor. I ask you by Allah: did He command you to do this?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes."
The Shaykh said: These words, if they are preserved, indicate that the owner of wealth may distribute the zakah of his wealth himself. And in the hadith of Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) about this same story, the words are: "Did Allah Almighty command you to take this sadaqah from our rich and distribute it among our poor?" Its chain is more authentic. And Allah knows best.
