[Machine] "He said: A man from the tribe of Tamim came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: O Messenger of Allah, I have a lot of wealth, and I have a family, children, and a hometown. So, tell me how should I spend (my wealth)? And how should I act? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: You should give the Zakat from your wealth, for it is a means of purifying you, connecting you with your relatives, acknowledging the right of the beggar, the neighbor, and the poor. The man said: O Messenger of Allah, advise me to do less. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Give the rightful share to your close ones, the poor, and the traveler, and do not be extravagant. The man said: It is sufficient for me, O Messenger of Allah, to deliver the Zakat to your messenger, for in doing so, I have fulfilled my obligation towards Allah and His Messenger. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Yes, if you deliver the Zakat to my messenger, then you have fulfilled your obligation towards it, and you will receive its reward while the sin of not delivering it will fall upon those who change it."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَتَى رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي ذُو مَالٍ كَثِيرٍ وَذُو أَهْلٍ وَوَلَدٍ وَحَاضِرَةٍ فَأَخْبِرْنِي كَيْفَ أُنْفِقُ؟ وَكَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ تُخْرِجُ الزَّكَاةَ مِنْ مَالِكَ فَإِنَّهَا طُهْرَةٌ تُطَهِّرُكَ وَتَصِلُ أَقْرِبَاءَكَ وَتَعْرِفُ حَقَّ السَّائِلِ وَالْجَارِ وَالْمِسْكِينِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَقْلِلْ لِي قَالَ فَآتِ ذَا الْقُرْبَى حَقَّهُ وَالْمِسْكِينَ وَابْنَ السَّبِيلِ وَلَا تُبَذِّرْ تَبْذِيرًا فَقَالَ حَسْبِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِذَا أَدَّيْتُ الزَّكَاةَ إِلَى رَسُولِكَ فَقَدْ بَرِئْتُ مِنْهَا إِلَى اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نَعَمْ إِذَا أَدَّيْتَهَا إِلَى رَسُولِي فَقَدْ بَرِئْتَ مِنْهَا فَلَكَ أَجْرُهَا وَإِثْمُهَا عَلَى مَنْ بَدَّلَهَا
