10. Zakāh (Prescribed Charity)
١٠۔ كِتَابُ الزَّكَاةِ
[Machine] They surrender themselves to their relatives while they are polytheists, so the verse was revealed "It is not upon you, [O Muhammad], to guide them. But Allah guides whom He wills." [Quran 2:272] until it reached "and you are not to blame" [Quran 2:272]. He gave them permission.
يَرْضَخُوا لِأَنْسِبَائِهِمْ وَهُمْ مُشْرِكُونَ فَنَزَلَتْ {لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ هُدَاهُمْ وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ يَهْدِي مَنْ يشَاءُ} [البقرة 272] حَتَّى بَلَغَ {وَأَنْتُمْ لَا تُظْلَمُونَ} [البقرة 272] قَالَ فَرَخَّصَ لَهُمْ
[Machine] I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, "If my mother comes to me in need, should I give to her?" He said, "Yes, offer prayers for her. Sa'dan reported it from Sufyan."
سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ أَتَتْنِي أُمِّي وَهِيَ رَاغِبَةٌ أَفَأُعْطِيهَا؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ صِلِيهَا كَذَا قَالَ سَعْدَانُ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ
[Machine] "My mother expressed a desire to return to the era of Quraysh, so I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ if I should fulfill her wish. He said, yes. Sufyan said, and in it was revealed the verse {Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you} [Al-Mumtahina 8]."
أُمِّي رَاغِبَةً فِي عَهْدِ قُرَيْشٍ فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَأَصِلُهَا؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ وَفِيهَا نَزَلَتْ {لَا يَنْهَاكُمُ اللهُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُقَاتِلُوكُمْ} [الممتحنة 8]
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A man said that he would give something in charity. He went out with his object of charity and unknowingly gave it to a thief. Next morning the people said that he had given his object of charity to a thief. (On hearing that) he said, "O Allah! All the praises are for you. I will give alms again." And so he again went out with his alms and (unknowingly) gave it to an adulteress. Next morning the people said that he had given his alms to an adulteress last night. The man said, "O Allah! All the praises are for you. (I gave my alms) to an adulteress. I will give alms again." So he went out with his alms again and (unknowingly) gave it to a rich person. (The people) next morning said that he had given his alms to a wealthy person. He said, "O Allah! All the praises are for you. (I had given alms) to a thief, to an adulteress and to a wealthy man." Then someone came and said to him, "The alms which you gave to the thief, might make him abstain from stealing, and that given to the adulteress might make her abstain from illegal sexual intercourse (adultery), and that given to the wealthy man might make him take a lesson from it and spend his wealth which Allah has given him, in Allah's cause." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1421)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ رَجُلٌ لَأَتَصَدَّقَنَّ اللَّيْلَةَ بِصَدَقَةٍ فَخَرَجَ بِصَدَقَتِهِ فَوَضَعَهَا فِي يَدِ زَانِيَةٍ فَأَصْبَحَ النَّاسُ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ تُصُدِّقَ عَلَى زَانِيَةٍ فَقَالَ اللهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلَى زَانِيَةٍ لَأَتَصَدَّقَنَّ اللَّيْلَةَ بِصَدَقَةٍ فَخَرَجَ بِصَدَقَتِهِ فَوَضَعَهَا فِي يَدِ غَنِيٍّ فَأَصْبَحُوا يَتَحَدَّثُونَ تُصُدِّقَ اللَّيْلَةَ عَلَى غَنِيٍّ فَقَالَ اللهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلَى غَنِيٍّ لَأَتَصَدَّقَنَّ اللَّيْلَةَ بِصَدَقَةٍ فَخَرَجَ فَوَضَعَهَا فِي يَدِ سَارِقٍ فَأَصْبَحُوا يَتَحَدَّثُونَ تُصُدِّقَ اللَّيْلَةَ عَلَى سَارِقٍ فَقَالَ اللهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلَى زَانِيَةٍ وَعَلَى غَنِيٍّ وَعَلَى سَارِقٍ فَأُتِيَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ أَمَّا صَدَقَتُكَ فَقَدْ قُبِلَتْ أَمَّا الزَّانِيَةُ فَلَعَلَّهَا أَنْ تَسْتَعِفَّ بِهَا عَنْ زِنَاهَا وَلَعَلَّ الْغَنِيَّ يَعْتَبِرُ فَيُنْفِقُ مِمَّا أَعْطَاهُ اللهُ وَلَعَلَّ السَّارِقَ يَسْتَعِفُّ بِهَا عَنْ سَرِقَتِهِ
