38. Division of Charity
٣٨۔ كِتَابُ قَسْمِ الصَّدَقَاتِ
The Prophet ﷺ said: Sadaqah may not be given to rich man, with the exception of five classes: One who fights in Allah's path, or who collects it, or a debtor, or a man who buys it with his money, or a man who has a poor neighbour who has been given sadaqah and gives a present to the rich man. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1635)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَحِلُّ الصَّدَقَةُ لِغَنِيٍّ إِلَّا لِخَمْسَةٍ لِغَازٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ أَوْ لِعَامِلٍ عَلَيْهَا أَوْ لِغَارِمٍ أَوْ لِرَجُلٍ اشْتَرَاهَا بِمَالِهِ أَوْ لِرَجُلٍ كَانَ لَهُ جَارٌ مِسْكِينٌ فَتَصَدَّقَ عَلَى الْمِسْكِينِ فَأَهْدَى الْمِسْكِينُ لِلْغَنِيِّ
Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) said : Sadaqah is not lawful for a rich person except what comes as a result of Jihad or what a poor neighbor gifts you out of the sadaqah given to him, or he entertains you in a feast. Abu-Dawud said : This has been transmitted by Abu- Said through a different chain of narrators in a similar way. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1637)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَحِلُّ الصَّدَقَةُ لِغَنِيٍّ إِلَّا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ أَوِ ابْنِ السَّبِيلِ أَوْ جَارٍ فَقِيرٍ فَيُهْدِي لَكَ
[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Charity is permissible for the wealthy when given in the cause of Allah.'"
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ تَحِلُّ الصَّدَقَةُ لِلْغَنِيِّ إِذَا كَانَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ
[Machine] "That some people take from this money to strive in the cause of Allah, and then they contradict it and do not strive. So whoever does that among them, then we are more entitled to his wealth until we take from it what he has taken." Abu Ishaq said, "I got up and went to Usaid bin Amr and said to him, 'Do you not see what Amr bin Abi Qurrah told me and I informed you about?' He said, 'He spoke the truth, he brought us a letter from Umar.'"
أَنَّ أُنَاسًا يَأْخُذُونَ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ لِيُجَاهِدُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ثُمَّ يُخَالِفُونَ وَلَا يُجَاهِدُونَ فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُمْ فَنَحْنُ أَحَقُّ بِمَالِهِ حَتَّى نَأْخُذَ مِنْهُ مَا أَخَذَ قَالَ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ فَقُمْتُ إِلَى أُسَيْدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو فَقُلْتُ أَلَا تَرَى إِلَى مَا حَدَّثَنِي بِهِ عَمْرُو بْنُ أَبِي قُرَّةَ وَحَدَّثْتُهُ بِهِ؟ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ جَاءَنَا بِهِ كِتَابُ عُمَرَ ؓ
