38. Division of Charity
٣٨۔ كِتَابُ قَسْمِ الصَّدَقَاتِ
[Machine] I heard Zaid bin Arqam saying, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood amongst us one day as a preacher and praised Allah and glorified Him. Then he said, 'O people, I am only a human being and the Messenger of my Lord will soon come to me, and I will respond to him. I am leaving among you two weighty things: the first is the Book of Allah in which there is guidance and light, so hold fast to the Book of Allah and adhere to it.' He exhorted and encouraged (us) to do so. Then he said, 'And the people of my household, I remind you of Allah with regards to the people of my household.' Husein said to Zaid, 'Who are the people of his household?' Zaid replied, 'The members of his household are his wives.' Husein said, 'Yes, indeed. The wives of the Prophet ﷺ are the members of his household, but what I meant are those who are forbidden from receiving charity after his death.' Zaid said, 'They are the family of Ali, the family of Aqil, the family of Jafar, and the family of Abbas.' Husein said, 'All of them are forbidden from receiving charity?' Zaid replied, 'Yes.'
سَمِعْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ ؓ يَقُولُ قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ خَطِيبًا فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَنِي رَسُولُ رَبِّي فَأُجِيبَهُ وَإِنِّي تَارِكٌ فِيكُمُ الثَّقَلَيْنِ أَوَّلُهُمَا كِتَابُ اللهِ فِيهِ الْهُدَى وَالنُّورُ فَتَمَسَّكُوا بِكِتَابِ اللهِ وَخُذُوا بِهِ فَحَثَّ عَلَيْهِ وَرَغَّبَ فِيهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَأَهْلُ بَيْتِي أُذَكِّرُكُمُ اللهَ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي قَالَ حُصَيْنٌ لِزَيْدٍ وَمِنْ أَهِلِ بَيْتِهِ نِسَاؤُهُ مِنْ أَهِلِ بَيْتِهِ قَالَ بَلَى إِنَّ نِسَاءَهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَلَكِنَّ أَهْلَ بَيْتِهِ مَنْ حُرِمَ الصَّدَقَةَ بَعْدَهُ قَالَ وَمَنْ هُمْ قَالَ آلُ عَلِيٍّ وَآلُ عُقَيْلٍ وَآلُ جَعْفَرٍ وَآلُ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ كُلُّ هَؤُلَاءِ تَحْرُمُ عَلَيْهِمُ الصَّدَقَةُ قَالَ نَعَمْ
