Bayhaqi 7529 — Reports on satisfying the zakah collector

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، فِي آخَرِينَ قَالُوا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ، أنبأ سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِذَا أَتَاكُمُ الْمُصَدِّقُ فَلَا يُفَارِقْكُمْ إِلَّا عَنْ رِضًا ". قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ يَعْنِي وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ أَنْ يُوَفُّوهُ طَائِعِينَ وَلَا يَلْوُوهُ لَا أَنْ يُعْطُوهُ مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ مَا لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَبِهَذَا يَأْمُرُهُمْ وَيَأْمُرُ الْمُصَدِّقَ، وَهَذَا الَّذِي قَالَهُ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ مُحْتَمَلٌ لَوْلَا مَا فِي رِوَايَةِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ الْعَبْسِيِّ مِنَ الزِّيَادَةِ.
Sayyiduna Jarir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When the zakah collector comes to you, let him not part from you until he is pleased (give such wealth that he is pleased with)."
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Allah knows best, but it means that they should pay him in full, willingly, and not put him off; not that they should give him from their wealth what is not due from them. It is this that he commands them and commands the collector. And what Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said would be plausible, were it not for the addition in the narration of Abd al-Rahman bin Hilal al-Absi.
