The Prophet ﷺ sent a man of the Banu Makhzum to collect sadaqah. He said to AbuRafi': Accompany me so that you may get some of it. He said: (I cannot take it) until I go to the Prophet ﷺ and ask him. Then he went to him and asked him. He said: The sadaqah is not lawful for us, and the client of a people is treated as one of them.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بَعَثَ رَجُلاً عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ مِنْ بَنِي مَخْزُومٍ فَقَالَ لأَبِي رَافِعٍ اصْحَبْنِي فَإِنَّكَ تُصِيبُ مِنْهَا قَالَ حَتَّى آتِيَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَسْأَلَهُ فَأَتَاهُ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ مَوْلَى الْقَوْمِ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَإِنَّا لاَ تَحِلُّ لَنَا الصَّدَقَةُ  

The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) came upon a date on the road; he would not take it for fear of being a part of the sadaqah.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَمُرُّ بِالتَّمْرَةِ الْعَائِرَةِ فَمَا يَمْنَعُهُ مِنْ أَخْذِهَا إِلاَّ مَخَافَةُ أَنْ تَكُونَ صَدَقَةً  

Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) found a date and said: Were it not that I fear it may be part of the sadaqah, I would eat it.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَجَدَ تَمْرَةً فَقَالَ لَوْلاَ أَنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ تَكُونَ صَدَقَةً لأَكَلْتُهَا  

My father sent me to the Prophet ﷺ to take the camels which he had given him from among those of sadaqah.  

بَعَثَنِي أَبِي إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي إِبِلٍ أَعْطَاهَا إِيَّاهُ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ  

“My father exchanged them for him”.  

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ نَحْوَهُ زَادَ أَبِي يُبْدِلُهَا لَهُ
