Bayhaqi 7307 — The choicest of people's wealth is not taken

أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ حَمُّوَيْهِ ثنا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، عَنْ شَرِيكٍ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي لَيْلَى الْكِنْدِيِّ، عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفَلَةَ، قَالَ أَتَى مُصَدِّقُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخَذْتُ بِيَدِهِ وَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَقَرَأْتُ فِي ⦗١٧١⦘ عَهْدِهِ أَنْ " لَا يُجْمَعَ بَيْنَ مُتَفَرِّقٍ وَلَا يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَ مُجْتَمِعٍ خَشْيَةَ الصَّدَقَةِ "، قَالَ: فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ بِنَاقَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ مُلَمْلَمَةٍ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْخُذَهَا، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ بِأُخْرَى دُونَهَا فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْخُذَهَا، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ بِأُخْرَى دُونَهَا فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْخُذَهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أِيُّ أَرْضٍ تُقِلُّنِي وَأِيُّ سَمَاءٍ تُظِلُّنِي إِذَا أَنَا أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَدْ أَخَذْتُ خِيَارَ إِبِلِ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ وَقَدْ مَضَى فِي حَدِيثِ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ حِينَ خَرَجَ مُصَدِّقًا وَفِيهِ دَلَالَةٌ عَلَى جَوَازِ الْأَخْذِ إِذَا تَطَوَّعَ بِهِ صَاحِبُهُ.
Suwayd bin Ghafalah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The collector of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came, so I took his hand and he took my hand, and I read in his document: "Those grazing together are not to be separated, and those grazing separately are not to be combined, for fear of zakah." A man came with a large she-camel, and he refused to take it; then he brought another, and he refused that too; then he brought yet another, and he refused that too, and said: "Which earth will carry me and which sky will shade me when I come to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) having taken the best camels of a Muslim man?" It has already passed in the hadith of Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him), when he went out as a collector, and in it is evidence that it is permissible to take what is given voluntarily.
