Bayhaqi 7863 — A slave gives a little in charity from his master's

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ، أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْكَرِيمِ بْنُ الْهَيْثَمِ، ثنا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أنبأ شُعَيْبٌ قَالَ: قَالَ نَافِعٌ: كَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ: " لَا يَصْلُحُ لِلْعَبْدِ أَنْ يُنْفِقَ مِنْ مَالِهِ شَيْئًا، وَلَا يُعْطِيهِ أَحَدًا إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ سَيِّدِهِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَأْكُلَ فِيهِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ أَوْ يَكْتَسِيَ " ⦗٣٢٧⦘ وَالْحَدِيثُ الْمُسْنَدُ يَحْتَمِلُ عَلَى الْبُعْدِ أَنْ يَكُونَ قَصَدَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَرْغِيبَ الْمَالِكِ فِي أَنْ يَأْذَنَ لِمَمْلُوكِهِ فِي أَنْ يَتَصَدَّقَ عَنْهُ، وَالْأَجْرُ بَيْنَهُمَا، وَمَا يَدُلُّ عَلَيْهِ ظَاهِرُهُ مِنَ الْإِبَاحَةِ أَوْلَى بِمَنْ رَغِبَ فِي مُتَابَعَةِ السُّنَّةِ، وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ.
Nafi' (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to say: "It is not right for a slave to spend anything from his wealth, nor to give it to anyone, without his master's permission, except that he may eat from it in a reasonable manner or clothe himself."
(The musnad hadith could, remotely, be understood to mean that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to encourage the owner to permit his slave to give charity on his behalf, with the reward shared between them; but the permissibility indicated by its apparent meaning is more fitting for one who wishes to follow the Sunnah. And success is from Allah.)
