38. Division of Charity
٣٨۔ كِتَابُ قَسْمِ الصَّدَقَاتِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed so much that he leaned back, then he said, "Have you not noticed that we do not eat charity?"
رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كِخٍ كِخٍ لِيَطْرَحَهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَا شَعَرْتَ أَنَّا لَا نَأْكُلُ الصَّدَقَةَ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was brought dates as charity at the market. He would receive some dates from his own dates and others from other people's dates until he had a heap of dates. Al-Hasan ibn Ali began playing with those dates, took one date, and put it in his mouth. The Prophet ﷺ looked at him, took it out of his mouth, and said, "Do you not know that the family of Muhammad does not eat charity?"
رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُؤْتَى بِالتَّمْرِ عِنْدَ صِرَامِ النَّاسِ الصَّدَقَةَ فَيَجِيءُ هَذَا مِنْ تَمْرِهِ وَهَذَا مِنْ تَمْرِهِ حَتَّى يَصِيرَ عِنْدَهُ كَوْمٌ مِنْ تَمْرٍ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ؓ يَلْعَبُ بِذَلِكَ التَّمْرِ فَأَخَذَ تَمْرَةً فَجَعَلَهَا فِي فِيهِ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْرَجَهَا مِنْ فِيهِ وَقَالَ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ لَا يَأْكُلُونَ الصَّدَقَةَ
I go back to my family and I find a date lying on my bed. I then take it up to eat it, but then I throw it away fearing that it may be a Sadaqa. (Using translation from Muslim 1070a)
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنِّي لَأَنْقَلِبُ إِلَى أَهْلِي فَأَجِدُ التَّمْرَةَ سَاقِطَةً عَلَى فِرَاشِي ثُمَّ أَرْفَعُهَا لِآكُلَهَا ثُمَّ أَخْشَى أَنْ تَكُونَ صَدَقَةً فَأُلْقِيهَا
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ found a date and said, "If it were not for the fact that I fear it may be a charity, I would have eaten it."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَجَدَ تَمْرَةً فَقَالَ لَوْلَا أَنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ تَكُونَ تَمْرَةَ صَدَقَةٍ لَأَكَلْتُهَا
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to see a date and if it wasn't for the fact that he saw it as charity, he would have eaten it.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَرَى التَّمْرَةَ فَلَوْلَا أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَرَى أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ لَأَكَلَهَا
[Machine] And by Allah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not favor us over the people in anything except for three things. He ordered us to perform ablution properly, he ordered us not to eat charity, and he ordered us not to let saddle blankets on horses hang down on their backs.
وَاللهِ مَا اخْتَصَّنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِشَيْءٍ دُونَ النَّاسِ إِلَّا ثَلَاثًا أَمَرَنَا أَنْ نُسْبِغَ الْوُضُوءَ وَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ لَا نَأْكُلَ الصَّدَقَةَ وَلَا نُنْزِيَ الْحُمُرَ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ
[Machine] My father gave him camels from the charity. He said: Abu Dawood narrated to us, narrating from Uthman ibn Abi Shaybah and Muhammad ibn Al-Ala'a, they said: It was narrated by his son, from his father, from Al-A'mash, from Salim, from Kurayb, the freed slave of Ibn Abbas, from Ibn Abbas, similar to this. It was added: "Instead of it." And this can only be understood in two ways: One is that it was before the prohibition of giving charity to Banu Hashim, then it was abrogated by what came after. The other is that Abbas borrowed camels from the poor, then returned them from the camels of the charity. We have narrated in the book of Zakah what indicates that, and Allah knows best.
أَبِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي إِبِلٍ أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهَا مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ ح قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ قَالَا ثنا هُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ نَحْوَهُ زَادَ أَيْ بِبَدَلِهَا فَهَذَا لَا يَحْتَمِلُ إِلَّا مَعْنَيَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا أَنْ يَكُونَ قَبْلَ تَحْرِيمِ الصَّدَقَةِ عَلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ ثُمَّ صَارَ مَنْسُوخًا بِمَا مَضَى وَالْآخَرُ أَنْ يَكُونَ اسْتَسْلَفَ مِنَ الْعَبَّاسِ لِلْمَسَاكِينِ إِبِلًا ثُمَّ رَدَّهَا عَلَيْهِ مِنْ إِبِلِ الصَّدَقَةِ فَقَدْ رَوَيْنَا فِي كِتَابِ الزَّكَاةِ مَا دَلَّ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
