38. Division of Charity
٣٨۔ كِتَابُ قَسْمِ الصَّدَقَاتِ
[Machine] I heard Ziyad ibn al-Harith al-Suda'i, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , narrate: I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and pledged allegiance to him on Islam. He mentioned a hadith and then another person came to him and said, "Give me from the charity." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied to him, "Verily, Allah did not give power to anyone, whether a Prophet or otherwise, to decide regarding charity until He Himself decides. And He allocated it into eight parts." He then said, "If you belong to those eight parts, I would give it to you or give you your right."
سَمِعْتُ زِيَادَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ الصُّدَائِيَّ ؓ صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يُحَدِّثُ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَبَايَعْتُهُ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ آخَرُ فَقَالَ أَعْطِنِي مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ لَمْ يَرْضَ فِيهَا بِحُكْمِ نَبِيٍّ وَلَا غَيْرِهِ فِي الصَّدَقَاتِ حَتَّى يَحْكُمَ هُوَ فِيهَا فَجَزَّأَهَا ثَمَانِيَةَ أَجْزَاءٍ قَالَ فَإِنْ كُنْتَ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْأَجْزَاءِ أَعْطَيْتُكَ أَوْ أَعْطَيْنَاكَ حَقَّكَ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ enjoined the payment of the charity in eight categories, then it is divided into eight shares. He obligated it in gold, silver, camels, cows, sheep, crops, vineyards, and date-palm trees. And it is divided into eight shares among the people mentioned in this verse, "Indeed, [prescribed] charitable offerings are only [to be given] for the poor and the needy" [Quran 9:60], until the end of the verse. The chain of narration for this hadith is weak, however, it is sufficient in the text of the book.
فَرَضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الصَّدَقَةَ فِي ثَمَانِيَةِ أَصْنَافٍ ثُمَّ تُوضَعُ فِي ثَمَانِيَةِ أَسْهُمٍ فَفَرَضَهَا فِي الذَّهَبِ وَالْوَرِقِ وَالْإِبِلِ وَالْبَقَرِ وَالْغَنَمِ وَالزَّرْعِ وَالْكَرْمِ وَالنَّخْلِ وَتُوضَعَ فِي ثَمَانِيَةِ أَسْهُمٍ فِي أَهْلِ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {إِنَّمَا الصَّدَقَاتُ لِلْفُقَرَاءِ وَالْمَسَاكِينِ} [التوبة 60] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ إِسْنَادُ هَذَا ضَعِيفٌ وَفِي نَصِّ الْكِتَابِ كِفَايَةٌ
