[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Charity is not permissible for a wealthy person unless it is given to five people: a person who works for it, or a person who buys it with his money, or a needy person who is endowed with it and then gives it to a wealthy person, or a debt-laden person, or a warrior in the cause of Allah." At-Thawri narrated it from Zaid and said, "Layth narrated it from the Prophet ﷺ , and sometimes a man from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ narrated it, and Abu Azhar As-Saliti narrated it from Abdul Razzaq, from Ma'mar, and At-Thawri narrated it from Zaid ibn Aslam, as well."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَحِلُّ الصَّدَقَةُ لِغَنِيٍّ إِلَّا لِخَمْسَةٍ لِرَجُلٍ عَامَلٍ عَلَيْهَا أَوْ رَجُلٍ اشْتَرَاهَا بِمَالِهِ أَوْ مِسْكِينٍ تُصُدِّقَ عَلَيْهِ بِهَا فَأَهْدَاهَا لِغَنِيٍّ أَوْ غَارِمٍ أَوْ غَازٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ﷻ وَرَوَاهُ الثَّوْرِيُّ عَنْ زَيْدٍ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَتَارَةً عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَرَوَاهُ أَبُو الْأَزْهَرِ السَّلِيطِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ وَالثَّوْرِيُّ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ كَمَا  

Umar employed me to collect the sadaqah. When I finished doing so and gave it to him, he ordered payment to be given to me. I said: I did only for Allah’s sake, and my reward will come from Allah. He said: Take what you are given, for I acted (as a collector) during the time of the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) and he assigned me a payment. Thereupon, I said the same kind of thing as you have said, to which Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) said: When you are given something without asking for it, you should use it for your own purpose and as sadaqah. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1647)   

أَنَّهُ قَالَ اسْتَعْمَلَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغْتُ مِنْهَا وَأَدَّيْتُهَا إِلَيْهِ أَمَرَ لِي بِعِمَالَةٍ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّمَا عَمِلْتُ لِلَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَأَجْرِي عَلَى اللهِ فَقَالَ خُذْ مَا أُعْطِيتَ فَإِنِّي قَدْ عَمِلْتُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَعَمَّلَنِي فَقُلْتُ مِثْلَ قَوْلِكَ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أُعْطِيتَ شَيْئًا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تَسْأَلَ فَكُلْ وَتَصَدَّقْ  

[Machine] Yes, according to their efforts.  

نَعَمْ عَلَى قَدْرِ عَمَالَتِهِمْ  

[Machine] In Abdullah bin Umar, there was a man who was appointed to distribute charity. He excused me from going with him and gave me my sustenance while I stayed at home.  

فِي عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ؓ رَجُلًا اسْتُعْمِلَ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ فَأَعْفَانِي مِنَ الْخُرُوجِ مَعَهُ وَأَعْطَانِي رِزْقِي وَأَنَا مُقِيمٌ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O people, whoever among you has worked for us and concealed from us as much as a thread, it will be a burden that he carries on the Day of Resurrection." Then, a man with dark complexion stood up, looking like an Ansari. He said, "Pardon me for my work." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "What is that?" The man replied, "I heard you saying what you said, and now I say it too. Whoever has been employed by us should come to us with both his small and large earnings. Whatever is given to him, he should take, and whatever is prohibited, he should abstain from." Abu Tahir informed us, Hajib ibn Ahmad narrated to us, Abdur-Rahim ibn Munib narrated to us, Al-Fadl ibn Musa narrated to us, Ismail ibn Abi Khalid narrated to us, from Qays, from Adi ibn Amr al-Kindi, that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say the same. The only difference is that he said, "Then, a man from the Ansar stood up, being black, as if I can see him." He said, "Your work, O Messenger of Allah." He also said in the end, "Whatever I have been given, I have taken, and whatever I have been prohibited from, I have abstained from."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ مَنْ عَمِلَ مِنْكُمْ لَنَا عَلَى عَمَلٍ فَكَتَمَنَا مِخْيَطًا فَمَا فَوْقَهُ فَهُوَ غُلٌّ يَأْتِي بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ أَسْوَدُ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ تَحَمَّلْ عَنِّي عَمَلَكَ قَالَ وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ سَمِعْتُكَ تَقُولُ الَّذِي قُلْتَ قَالَ وَأَنَا أَقُولُهُ الْآنَ مَنِ اسْتَعْمَلْنَاهُ عَلَى عَمَلٍ فَلْيَأْتِنَا بِقَلِيلِهِ وَكَثِيرِهِ فَمَا أُعْطِيَ مِنْهُ أَخَذَ وَمَا نُهِيَ عَنْهُ انْتَهَى 13173 وَأَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو طَاهِرٍ أنبأ حَاجِبُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ أنبأ عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ بْنُ مُنِيبٍ ثنا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ عَنْ قَيْسٍ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ الْكِنْدِيِّ ؓ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فَذَكَرَهُ مِثْلَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَسْوَدُ كَأَنِّي أُرَاهُ فَقَالَ دُونَكَ عَمَلُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَقَالَ فِي آخِرِهِ فَمَا أُوتِيَ مِنْهُ أَخَذَ وَمَا نُهِيَ عَنْهُ انْتَهَى  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ employed an employee (to collect Zakat). The employee returned after completing his job and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! This (amount of Zakat) is for you, and this (other amount) was given to me as a present." The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Why didn't you stay at your father's or mother's house and see if you would be given presents or not?" Then Messenger of Allah ﷺ got up in the evening after the prayer, and having testified that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and praised and glorified Allah as He deserved, he said, "Now then ! What about an employee whom we employ and then he comes and says, 'This amount (of Zakat) is for you, and this (amount) was given to me as a present'? Why didn't he stay at the house of his father and mother to see if he would be given presents or not? By Him in Whose Hand Muhammad's soul is, none of you will steal anything of it (i.e. Zakat) but will bring it by carrying it over his neck on the Day of Resurrection. If it has been a camel, he will bring it (over his neck) while it will be grunting, and if it has been a cow, he will bring it (over his neck), while it will be mooing; and if it has been a sheep, he will bring it (over his neck) while it will be bleeding." The Prophet ﷺ added, "I have preached you (Allah's Message)." Abu Humaid said, "Then Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his hands so high that we saw the whiteness of his armpits." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6636)   

أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ اسْتَعْمَلَ عَامِلًا عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ فَجَاءَ الْعَامِلُ حِينَ قَدِمَ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَذَا الَّذِي لَكُمْ وَهَذَا الَّذِي أُهْدِيَ لِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَهَلَّا قَعَدْتَ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِيكَ وَأُمِّكَ فَنَظَرْتَ إِنْ كَانَ يُهْدَى لَكَ أَمْ لَا؟ ثُمَّ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَشِيَّةً عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ فَتَشَهَّدَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَى اللهِ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَمَا بَالُ الْعَامِلِ نَسْتَعْمِلُهُ فَيَأْتِيَنَا فَيَقُولُ هَذَا مِنْ عَمَلِكُمْ وَهَذَا الَّذِي أُهْدِيَ لِي فَهَلَّا قَعَدَ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ وَأُمِّهِ فَنَظَرَ هَلْ يُهْدَى لَهُ أَمْ لَا؟ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَا يَقْبَلُ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا إِلَّا جَاءَ بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَحْمِلُهُ عَلَى عُنُقِهِ إِنْ كَانَ بَعِيرًا جَاءَ بِهِ وَلَهُ رُغَاءٌ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ بَقَرَةً جَاءَ بِهَا وَلَهَا خُوَارٌ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ شَاةً جَاءَ بِهَا تَيْعَرُ فَقَدْ بَلَّغْتُ قَالَ أَبُو حُمَيْدٍ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدَهُ حَتَّى إِنَّا لَنَنْظُرُ إِلَى عُفْرَةِ إِبْطَيْهِ قَالَ أَبُو حُمَيْدٍ وَقَدْ سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ فَاسْأَلُوهُ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "The owner of a monopolistic business will not enter Paradise." Yazid ibn Harun, or he said Al-Ash'ari, asked, "What about if he gives charity and donates?"  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا يَدْخُلُ صَاحِبُ مَكْسٍ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ يَعْنِي الْعَشَّارَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The worker for charity with truthfulness is like a warrior in the cause of Allah until he returns to his home."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْعَامِلُ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ بِالْحَقِّ كَالْغَازِي فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ  

[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned from the Battle of Hunayn, people were asking him questions. A camel surrounded him and grabbed hold of his cloak that was on a tree branch. He said, "Return my cloak to me. Do you fear that I am stingy? If Allah were to give me blessings like the abundance of dates from Dumat al-Jandal, I would distribute it among you, and yet you would not find me to be stingy, cowardly, or a liar." Then he took a handful from the top of his camel's saddle and said, "What do I have that Allah has given you? There is nothing like this except for the fifth (khums), which is due from you. Return the thread and the needle, for the stolen goods are disgraceful and unlawful."  

لَمَّا قَفَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ غَزْوَةِ حُنَيْنٍ فَكَانَ هَمُّهُ النَّاسُ يَسْأَلُونَهُ فَأَحَاطَتْ بِهِ النَّاقَةُ فَخَطِفَتْ شَجَرَةٌ رِدَاءَهُ فَقَالَ رُدُّوا عَلَيَّ رِدَائِي أَتَخْشَوْنَ عَلَيَّ الْبُخْلَ لَوْ أَفَاءَ اللهُ عَلَيَّ نَعَمًا مِثْلَ تَمْرِ تِهَامَةَ لَقَسَمْتُهَا بَيْنَكُمْ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُونِي بَخِيلًا وَلَا جَبَانًا وَلَا كَذَّابًا ثُمَّ أَخَذَ وَبَرَةً مِنْ ذِرْوَةِ سَنَامِ بَعِيرِهِ فَقَالَ مَالِي مِمَّا أَفَاءَ اللهُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَا مِثْلُ هَذِهِ إِلَّا الْخُمُسَ وَهُو مَرْدُودٌ عَلَيْكُمْ رُدُّوا الْخَيْطَ وَالْمِخْيَطَ فَإِنَّ الْغُلُولَ عَارٌ وَشَنَارٌ  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , Ibn 'Ajlan, 'Amr ibn Shuayb, his father, and his grandfather, Yazid, one of them said to his companion, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Nothing of what Allah, the Majestic and Exalted, has rightfully bestowed upon you is permissible for me, except for one-fifth, and it is to be returned to you.'"  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَابْنُ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ يَزِيدُ أَحَدُهُمَا عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَا يَحِلُّ لِي مِمَّا أَفَاءَ اللهُ جَلَّ وَعَزَّ عَلَيْكُمْ مِثْلُ هَذِهِ إِلَّا الْخُمُسَ وَهُوَ مَرْدُودٌ عَلَيْكُمْ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I do not have any share of this booty except for a fifth, and the fifth is to be returned to you." Al-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said, "By 'the fifth', it means its rightful share from the fifth, and by 'to be returned to you', it means in your best interest."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ لِي مِنْ هَذَا الْفَيْءِ إِلَّا الْخُمُسَ وَالْخُمُسُ مَرْدُودٌ فِيكُمْ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ يَعْنِي بِالْخُمُسِ حَقُّهُ مِنَ الْخُمُسِ وَقَوْلُهُ مَرْدُودٌ فِيكُمْ يَعْنِي فِي مَصْلَحَتِكُمْ  

You allot the share of my booty and that of my horse between 'Uyaina and Aqra'. Both Uyaina and Aqra' are in no way more eminent than Mirdas (my father) in the assembly. I am in no way inferior to any one of these persons. And he who is let down today would not be elevated. He (the narrator) said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then completed one hundred camels for him. (Using translation from Muslim 1060a)   

أَعْطَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ بْنَ حَرْبٍ وَصَفْوَانَ بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ وَعُيَيْنَةَ بْنَ حِصْنٍ وَالْأَقْرَعَ بْنَ حَابِسٍ مِائَةً مِائَةً مِنَ الْإِبِلِ وَأَعْطَى عَبَّاسَ بْنَ مِرْدَاسٍ دُونَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ أَوْ غَيْرُهُ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَقَالَ عَبَّاسُ بْنُ مِرْدَاسٍ [البحر المتقارب] أَتَجْعَلُ نَهْبِي وَنَهْبَ الْعُبَيْدِ بَيْنَ عُيَيْنَةَ وَالْأَقْرَعِ فَمَا كَانَ بَدْرٌ وَلَا حَابِسٌ يَفُوقَانِ مِرْدَاسَ فِي الْمَجْمَعِ وَمَا كُنْتُ دُونَ امْرِئٍ مِنْهُمَا وَمَنْ يَخْفِضِ الْيَوْمَ لَا يُرْفَعِ قَالَ فَأَتَمَّ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِائَةً  

When Allah favored His Apostle with the properties of Hawazin tribe as Fai (booty), he started giving to some Quarries men even up to one-hundred camels each, whereupon some Ansari men said about Messenger of Allah ﷺ, "May Allah forgive His Apostle! He is giving to (men of) Quraish and leaves us, in spite of the fact that our swords are still dropping blood (of the infidels)" When Messenger of Allah ﷺ was informed of what they had said, he called the Ansar and gathered them in a leather tent and did not call anybody else along, with them. When they gathered, Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to them and said, "What is the statement which, I have been informed, and that which you have said?" The learned ones among them replied," O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! The wise ones amongst us did not say anything, but the youngsters amongst us said, 'May Allah forgive His Apostle; he gives the Quarish and leaves the Ansar, in spite of the fact that our swords are still dribbling (wet) with the blood of the infidels.' " Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, I give to such people as are still close to the period of Infidelity (i.e. they have recently embraced Islam and Faith is still weak in their hearts). Won't you be pleased to see people go with fortune, while you return with Messenger of Allah ﷺ to your houses? By Allah, what you will return with, is better than what they are returning with." The Ansar replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, we are satisfied' Then the Prophet ﷺ said to them." You will find after me, others being preferred to you. Then be patient till you meet Allah and meet His Apostle at Al-Kauthar (i.e. a fount in Paradise)." (Anas added:) But we did not remain patient. (Using translation from Bukhārī 3147)   

أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَمَّا أَفَاءَ اللهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ مَا أَفَاءَ مِنْ أَمْوَالِ هَوَازِنَ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ طَفِقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُعْطِي رِجَالًا مِنْ قَوْمِهِ الْمِائَةَ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُنَا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَنَسٌ ؓ بَلَغَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى الْأَنْصَارِ فَجَمَعَهُمْ فِي قُبَّةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ وَلَمْ يَدَعْ مَعَهُمْ أَحَدًا فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكُمْ؟ فَقَالَ فُقَهَاءُ الْأَنْصَارِ أَمَّا ذَوُو الرَّأْيِ مِنَّا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَلَمْ يَقُولُوا شَيْئًا وَأَمَّا أُنَاسٌ حَدِيثَةٌ أَسْنَانُهُمْ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لِرَسُولِهِ يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَدَعُنَا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنِّي لَأُعْطِي رَجُلًا حَدِيثَ عَهْدٍ بِكُفْرٍ فَأَتَأَلَّفَهُمْ أَفَلَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالْأَمْوَالِ وَتَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى رِحَالِكُمْ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ فَوَاللهِ مَا تَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ إِنَّكُمْ سَتَنْقَلِبُونَ بَعْدِي أَثَرَةً شَدِيدَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوَا اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَإِنِّي عَلَى الْحَوْضِ قَالَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ فَلَمْ نَصْبِرْ  

ʿAmr bin Taghlib said, "Some property was given to the Prophet ﷺ and he gave it to some people and withheld it from some others. Then he came to know that they (the latter) were dissatisfied. So the Prophet said, 'I give to one man and leave (do not give) another, and the one to whom I do not give is dearer to me than the one to whom I give. I give to some people because of the impatience and discontent present in their hearts, and leave other people because of the content and goodness Allah has bestowed on them, and one of them is ʿAmr bin Taghlib." ʿAmr bin Taghlib said, "The sentence which Messenger of Allah ﷺ said in my favor is dearer to me than the possession of nice red camels." (Using translation from Bukhārī 7535)   

أُتِيَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَالٌ فَأَعْطَى قَوْمًا وَمَنَعَ آخَرِينَ فَبَلَغَهُ أَنَّهُمْ عَتَبُوا فَقَالَ إِنِّي أُعْطِي الرَّجُلَ وَأَدَعُ الرَّجُلَ وَالَّذِي أَدَعُهُ أَحَبُّ إِلِيَّ مِنَ الَّذِي أُعْطِيهِ أُعْطِي أَقْوَامًا لِمَا فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ مِنَ الْجَزَعِ وَالْهَلَعِ وَأَكِلُ أَقْوَامًا إِلَى مَا جَعَلَ اللهُ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ مِنَ الْغِنَى وَالْخَيْرِ مِنْهُمْ عَمْرُو بْنُ تَغْلِبَ فَقَالَ عَمْرٌو مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ لِي بِكَلِمَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حُمُرَ النَّعَمِ  

He (the Holy Prophet) gave to the chiefs of Najd and ignored us. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I have done it with a view to conciliating between them. Then there came a person with thick beard, prominent cheeks, deep sunken eyes and protruding forehead and shaven head. He said: Muhammad, fear Allah. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "If I disobey Allah, who would then obey Him? Have I not been (sent as the) most trustworthy among the people of the world? But you do not repose trust in me." That person then went back. A person among the people then sought permission (from the Holy Prophet) for his murder. According to some, it was Khalid b. Walid who sought the permission. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, said: From this very person's posterity there would arise people who would recite the Qur'an, but it would not go beyond their throat; they would kill the followers of Islam and would spare the idol-worshippers. They would glance through the teachings of Islam so hurriedly just as the arrow passes through the pray. If I were to ever find them I would kill them like 'Ad. (Using translation from Muslim 1064a)   

بَعَثَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ وَهُوَ بِالْيَمَنِ بِذُهَيْبَةٍ بِتُرْبَتِهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَسَمَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ أَرْبَعَةِ نَفَرٍ الْأَقْرَعِ بْنِ حَابِسٍ الْحَنْظَلِيِّ وَعُيَيْنَةَ بْنِ حِصْنٍ الْفَزَارِيِّ وَعَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ عُلَاثَةَ الْعَامِرِيِّ أَحَدِ بَنِي كِلَابٍ وَزَيْدِ الْخَيْلِ الطَّائِيِّ ثُمَّ أَحَدُ بَنِي نَبْهَانَ فَغَضِبَتْ صَنَادِيدُ قُرَيْشٍ فَقَالَتْ يُعْطِي صَنَادِيدَ نَجْدٍ وَيَدَعُنَا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنِّي إِنَّمَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ لِأَتَأَلَّفَهُمْ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ كَثُّ اللِّحْيَةِ مُشْرِفُ الْوَجْنَتَيْنِ غَائِرُ الْعَيْنَيْنِ نَاتِئُ الْجَبِينِ مَحْلُوقُ الرَّأْسِ فَقَالَ اتَّقِ اللهَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَنْ يُطِعِ اللهَ إَنْ عَصَيْتُهُ يُأَمِّنُنِي عَلَى أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ وَلَا تُأَمِّنُونِي ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ الرَّجُلُ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ فِي قَتْلِهِ يَرَوْنَ أَنَّهُ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إَنَّ مِنْ ضِئْضِئِ هَذَا قَوْمًا يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا يُجَاوِزُ حَنَاجِرَهُمْ يَقْتُلُونَ أَهْلَ الْإِسْلَامِ وَيَدَعُونَ أَهْلَ الْأَوْثَانِ يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ لَئِنْ أَدْرَكْتُهُمْ لَأَقْتُلَنَّهُمْ قَتْلَ عَادٍ  

AbdulAziz ibn Rufay' narrated on the authority of some people from the descendants of Abdullah ibn Safwan who reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Have you weapons, Safwan? He asked: On loan or by force? He replied: No, but on loan. So he lent him coats of mail numbering between thirty and forty! The Messenger of Allah ﷺ fought the battle of Hunayn. When the polytheists were defeated, the coats of mail of Safwan were collected. Some of them were lost. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Safwan: We have lost some coats of mail from your coats of mail. Should we pay compensation to you? He replied: No. Messenger of Allah, for I have in my heart today what I did not have that day. Abu Dawud said: He lent him before embracing Islam. Then he embraced Islam. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3563)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَا صَفْوَانُ هَلْ عِنْدَكَ سِلَاحٌ؟ قَالَ عَارِيَةً أَمْ غَصْبًا؟ قَالَ بَلْ عَارِيَةٌ قَالَ فَأَعَارَهُ مَا بَيْنَ الثَّلَاثِينَ إِلَى الْأَرْبَعِينَ دِرْعًا وَغَزَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حُنَيْنًا فَلَمَّا هُزِمَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ جُمِعَتْ دُرُوعُ صَفْوَانَ فَفُقِدَ مِنْهَا أَدْرَاعًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِصَفْوَانَ إِنَّا قَدْ فَقَدْنَا مِنْ أَدْرَاعِكَ أَدْرَاعًا فَهَلْ نَغْرَمُ لَكَ؟ قَالَ لَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لِأَنَّ فِي قَلْبِي الْيَوْمَ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ يَوْمَئِذٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a message to Safwan ibn Umayyah regarding a tool that was mentioned to him. He asked him for it, and Safwan said, "Where is the security? Will you take it by force?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If you want to keep your tool, then keep it. But if you show it to me, it will be a guarantee for me until I return it to you." Safwan said, "There is no problem with that, and I have shown it to you." On that day, he gave him one hundred shields and their tools. Safwan was heavily armed, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Carry them for us." So Safwan carried them. Then he mentioned the incident in the Battle of Hunayn, where a man from the Quraysh passed by Safwan ibn Umayyah and said to him, "Rejoice in Muhammad's defeat and the defeat of his companions." Safwan said to him, "Have you given me good news about the appearance of the Bedouins? By Allah, a lord from the Quraysh is dearer to me than a lord from the Bedouins." Safwan ibn Umayyah then sent his servant to listen to whose slogan it was. The servant came back and said, "I heard them saying, 'O sons of Abdur-Rahman, O sons of Abdullah, O sons of Ubaidullah'." Safwan said, "Muhammad has appeared," and that was their slogan in the war. This is the wording of the hadith of Musa ibn Uqbah and the meaning of the hadith of Uruwah.  

أَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى صَفْوَانَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ فِي أَدَاةٍ ذُكِرَتْ لَهُ عِنْدَهُ فَسَأَلَهُ إِيَّاهَا فَقَالَ صَفْوَانُ أَيْنَ الْأَمَانُ؟ أَتَأْخُذُهَا غَصْبًا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْ تُمْسِكَ أَدَاتَكَ فِامْسِكْهَا وَإِنْ أَعَرْتَنِيهَا فَهِيَ ضَامِنَةٌ عَلَيَّ حَتَّى نُؤَدِّيَ إِلَيْكَ فَقَالَ صَفْوَانُ لَيْسَ بِهَذَا بَأْسٌ وَقَدْ أَعَرْتُكَهَا فَأَعْطَاهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ زَعَمُوا مِائَةَ دِرْعٍ وَأَدَاتَهَا وَكَانَ صَفْوَانُ كَثِيرَ السِّلَاحِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اكْفِنَا حَمْلَهَا فَحَمَلَهَا صَفْوَانُ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الْقِصَّةَ فِي حَرْبِ حُنَيْنٍ قَالَ فِيهَا وَمَرَّ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ عَلَى صَفْوَانَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ فَقَالَ أَبْشِرْ بِهَزِيمَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ صَفْوَانُ أَبَشَّرْتَنِي بِظُهُورِ الْأَعْرَابِ فَوَاللهِ لَرَبٌّ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ أَحَبُّ إِلِيَّ مِنْ رَبٍّ مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ وَبَعَثَ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ غُلَامًا لَهُ فَقَالَ اسْمَعْ لِمَنِ الشِّعَارُ فَجَاءَهُ الْغُلَامُ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُهُمْ يَقُولُونَ يَا بَنِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ يَا بَنِي عَبْدِ اللهِ يَا بَنِي عُبَيْدِ اللهِ فَقَالَ ظَهَرَ مُحَمَّدٌ وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ شِعَارُهُمْ فِي الْحَرْبِ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ وَحَدِيثِ عُرْوَةَ بِمَعْنَاهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , carried out the expedition of Al-Fath (the Conquest) which was the conquest of Mecca. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , left the city in Ramadan and on that day, he gave Safwan ibn Umayyah one hundred favors, then another hundred, then another hundred. Ibn Shihab said: Sa'id ibn Al-Musayyib narrated to me that Safwan ibn Umayyah said: By Allah, the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , gave me what he gave me, even though he disliked me the most. He did not stop giving me until he became the person whom he loved the most.  

غَزَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ غَزْوَةَ الْفَتْحِ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَأَعْطَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَئِذٍ صَفْوَانَ بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ مِائَةً مِنَ النَّعَمِ ثُمَّ مِائَةً ثُمَّ مِائَةً قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ أَنَّ صَفْوَانَ بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ قَالَ وَاللهِ لَقَدْ أَعْطَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا أَعْطَانِي وَإِنَّهُ أَبْغَضُ النَّاسِ إِلِيَّ فَمَا بَرِحَ يُعْطِينِي حَتَّى إِنَّهُ لَأَحَبُّ النَّاسِ إِلِيَّ  

[Machine] The prophet Muhammad ﷺ was never asked about anything regarding Islam except that he granted it to them. So, a man came and asked him, and the prophet Muhammad ﷺ commanded him to take some sheep between two mountains. The man then returned to his people and said, "O people, embrace Islam, for Muhammad has given a gift that will eliminate poverty."  

مَا سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ شَيْئًا إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَسَأَلَهُ فَأَمَرَ لَهُ بِغَنَمٍ بَيْنَ جَبَلَيْنِ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ فَقَالَ يَا قَوْمُ أَسْلِمُوا فَإِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا أَعْطَى عَطِيَّةً لَا يَخْشَى الْفَاقَةَ  

O people, embrace Islam. By Allah, Muhammad donates so much as if he did not fear want. Anas said that the person embraced Islam for the sake of the world but later he became Muslim until Islam became dearer to him than the world and what it contains. (Using translation from Muslim 2312b)   

أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ غَنَمًا بَيْنَ جَبَلَيْنِ فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ فَأَتَى قَوْمَهُ فَقَالَ أَيْ قَوْمِ أَسْلِمُوا فَوَاللهِ إِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا لَيُعْطِي عَطَاءً مَا يَخَافُ الْفَقْرَ فَقَالَ أَنَسٌ إنْ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ لَيُسْلِمُ مَا يُرِيدُ إِلَّا الدُّنْيَا فَمَا يُسْلِمُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ الْإِسْلَامُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا عَلَيْهَا  

[Machine] Uyainah ibn Hisn and al-Aqra ibn Habis came to Abu Bakr and said, "O Khalifah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, we have a barren land that is neither productive nor beneficial. If you think it is suitable, we can cultivate it and plow it." Abu Bakr mentioned the narration regarding land distribution and the testimony of Umar, and erased it. Umar said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to include both of you, and Islam was humiliated at that time. But now, Allah has elevated Islam. So go and exert your efforts, for I will not dictate to you if you act according to what is best for Allah. It is mentioned about al-Sha'bi that he said, 'None of them remained loyal in their hearts except that they were loyal to the teachings of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When Abu Bakr became the caliph, the sense of love and loyalty towards Islam disappeared.' As for al-Hasan, he said, 'As for the loyalty in their hearts, it no longer exists today.'"  

جَاءَ عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ حِصْنٍ وَالْأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ فَقَالَا يَا خَلِيفَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ عِنْدَنَا أَرْضًا سَبِخَةً لَيْسَ فِيهَا كَلَأٌ وَلَا مَنْفَعَةٌ فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنْ تَقْطَعَنَاهَا لَعَلَّنَا نَزْرَعَهَا وَنَحْرُثَهَا فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ فِي الْإِقْطَاعِ وَإِشْهَادِ عُمَرَ ؓ عَلَيْهِ وَمَحْوِهِ إِيَّاهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَتَأَلَّفُكُمَا وَالْإِسْلَامُ يَوْمَئِذٍ ذَلِيلٌ وَإِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ أَعَزَّ الْإِسْلَامَ فَاذْهَبَا فَأَجْهِدَا جَهْدَكُمَا لَا أَرْعَى الله عَلَيْكُمَا إِنْ رَعَيْتُمَا وَيُذْكَرُ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنَ الْمُؤَلَّفَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْ أَحَدٌ إِنَّمَا كَانُوا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا اسْتُخْلِفَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ انْقَطَعَتِ الرِّشَا وَعَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ أَمَّا الْمُؤَلَّفَةُ قُلُوبُهُمْ فَلَيْسَ الْيَوْمَ  

[Machine] "I came to Abu Wael and Abu Burdah with the zakat while they were at the treasury. They took it and then I came back another time and found only Abu Wael alone. He said, 'Return it and place it in its designated places.' I said, 'What should I do with the share of the people whose hearts have been won?' He said, 'Return it to others.'"  

أَتَيْتُ أَبَا وَائِلٍ وَأَبَا بُرْدَةَ بِالزَّكَاةِ وَهُمَا عَلَى بَيْتِ الْمَالِ فَأَخَذَاهَا ثُمَّ جِئْتُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى فَوَجَدْتُ أَبَا وَائِلٍ وَحْدَهُ فَقَالَ رُدَّهَا فَضَعْهَا مَوَاضِعَهَا قُلْتُ فَمَا أَصْنَعُ بِنَصِيبِ الْمُؤَلَّفَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْ قَالَ رُدَّهُ عَلَى آخَرِينَ  

[Machine] That Abu Mu'ammal was the first scribe to be appointed in Islam during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . The Prophet ﷺ said, "Help Abu Mu'ammal and he will be helped in whatever he gives to his writing and there will be a special favor in it." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sought consultation regarding it and ordered him to spend it in the cause of Allah.  

أَنَّ أَبَا مُؤَمَّلٍ أَوَّلُ مُكَاتَبٍ كُوتِبَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَعِينُوا أَبَا مُؤَمَّلٍ فَأُعِينَ مَا أَعْطَى كِتَابَتَهُ وَفَضَلَتْ فَضْلَةٌ فَاسْتَفْتَى فِيهَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَجْعَلَهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ  

[Machine] He said, "I witnessed on a Friday, when a petitioner came to Abu Musa, and he was the first person I saw. He said, 'Indeed, I am a burdened petitioner.' So the people encouraged him, and clothes and coins were thrown at him until he said, 'That is enough.' Then he went to his family and found that they had given him his petition and an additional three hundred dirhams. So he came to Abu Musa and asked him. Abu Musa commanded him to place it in the same manner as the others, and we have been narrated a similar story from Ali ibn Abi Talib as a resemblance to this story. Ali came and asked him about the preference. Abu Musa said, 'Place it among the petitioners, and it should be mentioned in the book of the petitioners.'"  

قَالَ شَهِدْتُ يَوْمَ جُمُعَةٍ فَقَامَ مُكَاتَبٌ إِلَى أَبِي مُوسَى ؓ فَكَانَ أَوَّلَ سَائِلٍ رَأَيْتُهُ فَقَالَ إِنِّي إِنْسَانٌ مُثْقَلٌ مُكَاتَبٌ فَحَثَّ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهِ فَقُذِفَتْ إِلَيْهِ الثِّيَابُ وَالدَّرَاهِمُ حَتَّى قَالَ حَسْبِي فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَوَجَدَهُمْ قَدْ أَعْطَوْهُ مُكَاتَبَتَهُ وَفَضَلَ ثَلَاثُمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ فَأَتَى أَبَا مُوسَى فَسَأَلَهُ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَجْعَلَهَا فِي نَحْوِهِ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ قِصَّةً شَبِيهَةً بِهَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ قَالَ فَأَتَى عَلِيًّا ؓ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ الْفَضْلَةِ فَقَالَ اجْعَلْهَا فِي الْمُكَاتَبِينَ وَهِيَ مُخَرَّجَةٌ فِي كِتَابِ الْمُكَاتَبِ  

[Machine] I went to the Prophet to ask him about a burden. He said, "Asking for charity is prohibited except in three cases: a man who carries a burden and his request is granted until he pays it off, then he stops, a man who is struck by a calamity that destroys his wealth and his request is granted until he achieves a sufficient livelihood or sustenance, then he stops, and a man who is in need or poverty until three people from his community bear witness that his request is legitimate. Any other request for charity is considered invalid."  

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَسْأَلُهُ فِي حَمَالَةٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْمَسْأَلَةَ حُرِّمَتْ إِلَّا فِي ثَلَاثٍ رَجُلٍ تَحَمَّلَ حَمَالَةً حَلَّتْ لَهُ الْمَسْأَلَةُ حَتَّى يُؤَدِّيَهَا ثُمَّ يُمْسِكُ وَرَجُلٍ أَصَابَتْهُ جَائِحَةٌ فَاجْتَاحَتْ مَالَهُ حَلَّتْ لَهُ الْمَسْأَلَةُ حَتَّى يُصِيبَ قِوَامًا مِنْ عَيْشٍ أَوْ سِدَادًا مِنْ عَيْشٍ ثُمَّ يُمْسِكُ وَرَجُلٍّ أَصَابَتْهُ حَاجَةٌ أَوْ فَاقَةٌ حَتَّى يَتَكَلَّمَ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنْ ذَوِي الْحِجَى مِنْ قَوْمِهِ لَقَدْ حَلَّتْ لَهُ الْمَسْأَلَةُ فَمَا سِوَى ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْمَسَائِلِ فَهُوَ سُحْتٌ  

I became a guarantor for a payment, and I came to Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him). He said: Wait till I receive the sadaqah and I shall order it to be given to you. He then said : Begging, Qabisah, is allowable only to one of three classes: a man who has become a guarantor for a payment to whom begging is allowed till he gets it, after which he must stop (begging); a man who has been stricken by a calamity and it destroys his property to whom begging is allowed till he gets what will support life (or he said, what will provide a reasonable subsistence); and a man who has been smitten by poverty, about whom three intelligent members of his people confirm by saying: So and so has been smitten by poverty, to such a person begging is allowed till be gets what will support life (or he said, what will provide a reasonable subsistence), after which he must stop (begging). Any other reason for begging, Qabisah, is forbidden, and one who engages in such consumes it as a thing which is forbidden. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1640)   

تَحَمَّلْتُ حَمَالَةً فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَسْأَلُهُ فِيهَا فَقَالَ أَقِمْ يَا قَبِيصَةُ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَنَا الصَّدَقَةُ فَنَأْمُرَ لَكَ بِهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا قَبِيصَةُ إِنَّ الْمَسْأَلَةَ لَا تَحِلُّ إِلَّا لِأَحَدِ ثَلَاثَةٍ رَجُلٍ تَحَمَّلَ حَمَالَةً فَحَلَّتْ لَهُ الْمَسْأَلَةُ حَتَّى يُصِيبَهَا ثُمَّ يُمْسِكُ وَرَجُلٍ أَصَابَتْهُ جَائِحَةٌ فَاجْتَاحَتْ مَالَهُ فَحَلَّتْ لَهُ الْمَسْأَلَةُ حَتَّى يُصِيبَ قِوَامًا مِنْ عَيْشٍ أَوْ قَالَ سِدَادًا مِنْ عَيْشٍ وَرَجُلٍ أَصَابَتْهُ فَاقَةٌ حَتَّى يَقُولَ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنْ ذَوِي الْحِجَى مِنْ قَوْمِهِ أَنْ قَدْ أَصَابَتْ فُلَانًا فَاقَةٌ فَحَلَّتْ لَهُ الصَّدَقَةُ حَتَّى يُصِيبَ قِوَامًا مِنْ عَيْشٍ أَوْ سِدَادًا مِنْ عَيْشٍ فَمَا سِوَى ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْمَسْأَلَةِ يَا قَبِيصَةُ سُحْتٌ يَأْكُلُهَا صَاحِبُهَا سُحْتًا  

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, we are people who ask for our wealth." He said to me, "None of you should ask for anything for his need or for reconciliation between people. But if it reaches a point of distress or difficulty, then let him ask until he is able to give it to them." Abu 'Ubaid said, "Al-Fatq is war between two groups, where bloodshed and injuries occur. A man takes on the responsibility for fixing it, so he asks for it until he is able to deliver it to them." And when he says "he is self-sufficient," it means he is approaching it and close to it. And when he says "Siddadan" in terms of livelihood, it means with the breaking of the letter "sin." And everything that you use to fix a defect is considered correction.  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا قَوْمٌ نَسْأَلُ أَمْوَالَنَا فَقَالَ لِيَسْأَلْ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الْحَاجَةِ أَوْ لِفَتْقٍ لِيُصْلِحَ بَيْنَ قَوْمِهِ فَإِذَا بَلَغَ أَوْ كَرُبَ اسْتَعَفَّ قَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ الْفَتْقُ الْحَرْبُ يَكُونُ بَيْنَ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ فَتَقَعُ بَيْنَهُمَا الدِّمَاءُ وَالْجِرَاحَاتُ فَيَتَحَمَّلُهَا رَجُلٌ لِيُصْلِحَ بِذَلِكَ فَيَسْأَلُ فِيهَا حَتَّى يُؤَدِّيَهَا إِلَيْهِمْ وَقَوْلُهُ اسْتَغْنَى أَوْ كَرُبَ يَقُولُ دَنَا مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَقَرُبَ مِنْهُ وَقَوْلُهُ سِدَادًا مِنْ عَيْشٍ هُوَ بِكَسْرِ السِّينِ وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ سَدَدْتَ بِهِ خَلَلًا فَهُوَ سِدَادٌ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Sadaqah (charity) is not permissible for a wealthy person except for five cases: for a worker who is assigned to it, or a man who bought it with his own money, or a debtor, or a warrior in the cause of Allah, or a poor person who is given from it and then returns some of it to a wealthy person."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَحِلُّ الصَّدَقَةُ لِغَنِيٍّ إِلَّا لِخَمْسَةٍ لِعَامِلٍ عَلَيْهَا أَوْ رَجُلٍ اشْتَرَاهَا بِمَالِهِ أَوْ غَارِمٍ أَوْ غَازٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ أَوْ مِسْكِينٍ تُصُدِّقَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْهَا فَأَهْدَى مِنْهَا لِغَنِيٍّ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "Whoever among my Ummah carries a debt and strives to pay it off but dies before settling it, I am his guardian."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ حَمَلَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي دَيْنًا وَجَهَدَ فِي قَضَائِهِ فَمَاتَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقْضِيَهُ فَأَنَا وَلِيُّهُ  

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 ؓ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Charity is not permissible for the wealthy, except in the way of Allah, or for the traveler, or if you have a needy neighbor and you give charity to him, then he benefits you. And if this is correct, then according to Allah's knowledge, the son of the traveler is rich in his own country, but is needy while traveling. And the narration of Ata ibn Yasar from Abu Sa'id is the most authentic, although it does not mention the son of the traveler, and Allah knows best."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَحِلُّ الصَّدَقَةُ لِغَنِيٍّ إِلَّا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ أَوْ يَكُونُ لَكَ جَارٌ مِسْكِينٌ فَتُصُدِّقَ عَلَيْهِ فَيُهْدِي لَكَ وَهَذَا إِنْ صَحَّ فَإِنَّمَا أَرَادَ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ ابْنَ سَبِيلٍ غَنِيًّا فِي بَلَدِهِ مُحْتَاجًا فِي سَفَرِهِ وَحَدِيثُ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ أَصَحُّ طَرِيقًا وَلَيْسَ فِيهِ ذِكْرُ ابْنِ السَّبِيلِ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ  

I became a guarantor for a payment, and I came to Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him). He said: Wait till I receive the sadaqah and I shall order it to be given to you. He then said : Begging, Qabisah, is allowable only to one of three classes: a man who has become a guarantor for a payment to whom begging is allowed till he gets it, after which he must stop (begging); a man who has been stricken by a calamity and it destroys his property to whom begging is allowed till he gets what will support life (or he said, what will provide a reasonable subsistence); and a man who has been smitten by poverty, about whom three intelligent members of his people confirm by saying: So and so has been smitten by poverty, to such a person begging is allowed till be gets what will support life (or he said, what will provide a reasonable subsistence), after which he must stop (begging). Any other reason for begging, Qabisah, is forbidden, and one who engages in such consumes it as a thing which is forbidden. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1640)   

تَحَمَّلْتُ حَمَالَةً فَقَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِيهَا فَقَالَ أَقِمْ يَا قَبِيصَةُ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَنَا الصَّدَقَةُ فَنَأْمُرَ لَكَ بِهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا قَبِيصَةُ إنَّ الْمَسْأَلَةَ لَا تَحِلُّ إِلَّا لِإِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ رَجُلٍ تَحَمَّلَ حَمَالَةً فَسَأَلَ فِيهَا حَتَّى يُصِيبَهَا بِهَا ثُمَّ يُمْسِكُ وَرَجُلٍ أَصَابَتْهُ جَائِحَةٌ اجْتَاحَتْ مَالَهُ فَسَأَلَ حَتَّى يُصِيبَ سِدَادًا ثُمَّ يُمْسِكُ وَرَجُلٍ أَصَابَتْهُ حَاجَةٌ شَدِيدَةٌ فَقَامَ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنْ ذَوِي الْحِجَا مِنْ قَوْمِهِ فَقَالُوا أَصَابَتْ فُلَانًا فَاقَةٌ أَوْ حَاجَةٌ شَدِيدَةٌ فَسَأَلَ حَتَّى يُصِيبَ سِدَادًا مِنْ عَيْشٍ أَوْ قِوَامًا مِنْ عَيْشٍ ثُمَّ يُمْسِكُ وَمَا سِوَاهُنَّ مِنَ الْمَسَائِلِ سُحْتٌ يَأْكُلُهَا صَاحِبُهَا سُحْتًا قَالَهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah said to the questioner, "It is a right, even if it comes on a horse," and in another narration, "even if it comes on his horse. 13205 Abu Ali informed us, Abu Bakr narrated to us, Abu Dawud narrated to us, Muhammad ibn Rafi narrated to us, Yahya ibn Adam narrated to us, Zuhair narrated from a sheikh, I saw Sufyan with him, from Fatimah bint Husayn, from her father, from Ali, from the Prophet, ﷺ , something similar to it."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِلسَّائِلِ حَقٌّ وَإِنْ جَاءَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ الْفِرْيَابِيِّ وَإِنْ جَاءَ عَلَى فَرَسِهِ 13205 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ ثنا زُهَيْرٌ عَنْ شَيْخٍ رَأَيْتُ سُفْيَانَ عِنْدَهُ عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ حُسَيْنٍ عَنْ أَبِيهَا عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِثْلَهُ  

[Machine] Indeed, Allah has obligated upon the wealthy in their wealth to the extent of what is sufficient for their poor. So if they are hungry and naked, they strive in preventing the rich. It is a right upon Allah to hold them accountable on the Day of Resurrection and to punish them for it. Muhammad ibn Ali, this is the son of al-Hanafiyyah and Abu Ja'far is Muhammad ibn Ali ibn al-Husayn. And likewise...  

إِنَّ اللهَ فَرَضَ عَلَى الْأَغْنِيَاءِ فِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ بِقَدْرِ مَا يَكْفِي فُقَرَاءَهُمْ فَإِنْ جَاعُوا وَعَرُوا جَهَدُوا فِي مَنْعِ الْأَغْنِيَاءِ فَحَقٌّ عَلَى اللهِ أَنْ يُحَاسِبَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَيُعَذِّبَهُمْ عَلَيْهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ هَذَا هُوَ ابْنُ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ وَأَبُو جَعْفَرٍ هُوَ مُحَمَّدُ بِنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ وَكَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever asks for what is sufficient for him will come on the Day of Resurrection with silent or wounded cheeks on his face." It was said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is sufficiency?" He said, "Fifty dirhams or their equivalent in gold." Yahya ibn Adam said, Abdullah ibn Uthman told Sufyan, my recorder, that Shu'bah was not narrating from Hakim ibn Jubayr. Sufyan said, "Zubayd informed us about Muhammad ibn Abdur Rahman ibn Yazid 13208, and Abu al-Husayn ibn al-Fadl informed us that Abdullah ibn Ja'far narrated to us, and Ya'qub ibn Sufyan mentioned the meaning of this story. Rather, it was narrated from Yahya ibn Adam from Sufyan, then Ya'qub said, "It is a distant story, and if it was a narration from Hakim ibn Jubayr to Zubayd, it would not be hidden from the people of knowledge."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ سَأَلَ وَلَهُ مَا يُغْنِيهِ جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ خُمُوشٌ أَوْ خُدُوشٌ أَوْ كُدُوحٌ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا الْغِنَى؟ قَالَ خَمْسُونَ دِرْهَمًا أَوْ قِيمَتُهَا مِنَ الذَّهَبِ قَالَ يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ لِسُفْيَانَ حِفْظِي أَنَّ شُعْبَةَ كَانَ لَا يَرْوِي عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ فَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ فَقَدْ حَدَّثَنَا زُبَيْدٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ 13208 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَى هَذِهِ الْحِكَايَةِ بَلْ إِنَّمَا عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ آدَمَ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَعْقُوبُ هِيَ حِكَايَةٌ بَعِيدَةٌ وَلَوْ كَانَ حَدِيثُ حَكِيمِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ زُبَيْدٍ مَا خَفِيَ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ  

A man from Banu Asad said : I and my family alighted at Baqi al-Gharqad. My wife said to me : Go the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and beg something from him for our eating, and made a mention of there need. So I went to the Messenger of Allah(May peace be upon him). I found with a man who was begging from him and he was saying to him: I have nothing to give you. The man turned away from him in anger while he was saying: By my life, you give anyone you wish. The Messenger of Allah(May peace be upon him) said : He’s anger with me, for I have nothing to give him. If any of you begs when he has an Uqiyah or its equivalent, he has begged immoderately. The man of Banu Asad said : So I said : The she camel of ours is better than an uqiyah, while an uqiyah is equivalent to 40 Dirhams. I therefore returned and did not beg from him. Afterwards some barley and raisins where brought to the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him). He gave us a share from them (or as he reported)till Allah, the Exalted, made us self-sufficient(i.e well off). Abu Dawud said: Al-Thawri narrated it as Malik narrated. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1627)   

لِي أَهْلِي اذْهَبْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَوَجَدْتُ عِنْدَهُ رَجُلًا يَسْأَلُهُ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَا أَجِدُ مَا أُعْطِيكَ فَتَوَلَّى الرَّجُلُ عَنْهُ وَهُو مُغْضَبٌ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ لَعَمْرِي إِنَّكَ تُعْطِي مَنْ شِئْتَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَغْضَبُ عَلَيَّ أَنِّي لَا أَجِدُ مَا أُعْطِيهِ مَنْ سَأَلَ مِنْكُمْ وَلَهُ أُوقِيَّةٌ أَوْ عَدْلُهَا فَقَدْ سَأَلَ إِلْحَافًا قَالَ الْأَسَدِيُّ فَقُلْتُ اللِّقْحَةُ لَكَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أُوقِيَّةٍ وَالْأُوقِيَّةُ أَرْبَعُونَ دِرْهَمًا قَالَ فَرَجَعْتُ وَلَمْ أَسْأَلْهُ فَقَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ شَعِيرٌ وَزَبِيبٌ فَقَسَمَ لَنَا مِنْهُ حَتَّى أَغْنَانَا اللهُ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ هَكَذَا  

[Machine] To my mother, O my son, go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and ask him something for us. So I went to him, greeted him, and sat down while he was sitting with his companions. When he faced me, he said, "Indeed, whoever seeks richness, Allah will enrich him. And whoever seeks chastity, Allah will make him chaste. And whoever seeks self-sufficiency, Allah will suffice him." He said, "I said, 'He does not want anyone except me,' so I turned away and did not speak to him about anything." My mother said to me, "What did you do?" So I informed her of the matter. She said, "We will be patient, and Allah will provide us with something." She continued to whisper to us until a need arose that was more urgent than before. She said to me, "Go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and ask him for something." So I went to him while he was sitting with his companions, greeted him, and sat down. He faced me and said the same words as before, and added, "And whoever asks and has livestock, then he is mutahaffif." I said to myself, "We have a ruby, which is better than livestock." He said, "The price of the ruby is forty dirhams." So I turned back without asking him. Abu 'Ubaid reported that the ruby was a female camel.  

لِي أُمِّي يَا بُنِيَّ ائْتِ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَلْهُ لَنَا شَيْئًا فَجِئْتُهُ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَجَلَسْتُ وَهُوَ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ جَالِسٌ فَقَالَ حِينَ اسْتَقْبَلَنِي إِنَّهُ مَنْ يَسْتَغْنِ أَغْنَاهُ اللهُ وَمَنْ يَسْتَعْفِفْ أَعَفَّهُ اللهُ وَمَنِ اسْتَكْفَ كَفَّهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ مَا يُرِيدُ غَيْرِي فَانْصَرَفْتُ وَلَمْ أُكَلِّمْهُ فِي شَيْءٍ فَقَالَتْ لِي أُمِّي مَا فَعَلْتَ؟ فَأَخْبَرْتُهَا الْخَبَرَ قَالَ فَصَبَرْنَا وَاللهُ يَرْزُقُنَا شَيْئًا فَتَبَلَّغْنَا بِهِ حَتَّى أَلَحَّتْ عَلَيْنَا حَاجَةٌ هِيَ أَشَدُّ مِنْهَا فَقَالَتْ لِي أُمِّي ائْتِ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَلْهُ لَنَا شَيْئًا قَالَ فَجِئْتُهُ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ فَسَلَّمْتُ وَجَلَسْتُ فَاسْتَقْبَلَنِي وَقَالَ بِالْقَوْلِ الْأَوَّلِ وَزَادَ فِيهِ وَمَنْ سَأَلَ وَلَهُ أُوقِيَّةٌ فَهُوَ مُلْحِفٌ قُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي لَنَا الْيَاقُوتَةُ وَهِيَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أُوقِيَّةٍ قَالَ وَالْأُوقِيَّةُ أَرْبَعُونَ دِرْهَمًا قَالَ فَرَجَعْتُ وَلَمْ أَسْأَلْهُ قَالَ أَنْبَأَ أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ الْيَاقُوتَةُ نَاقَةٌ  

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'Whoever asks when he has forty Dirhams I being too demanding when asking."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2594)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ سَأَلَ وَلَهُ أَرْبَعُونَ دِرْهَمًا فَهُوَ مُلْحِفٌ  

[Machine] He heard Ibn al-Hanzaliyyah al-Ansari, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , saying that Abu al-Hasan Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Abdan informed him, and the wording is his, that Ahmad ibn Ubayd al-Saffar narrated to him, who narrated from Abu Shu'aib al-Harani, who narrated from al-Nufayliyy, who narrated from Miskin ibn Bukayr, who narrated from Muhammad ibn Muhajir, from Rabi'ah ibn Yazid, from Abu Kabsha al-Saluli. Sahl ibn al-Hanzaliyyah said, "Uyaynah ibn Hisn and al-Aqr ibn Habis came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked him for something. He ordered them to be given what they had asked for. He also ordered Mu'awiyah to write for them what they had asked for. As for al-Aqr, he wrapped his letter in his turban and left. Uyaynah took his letter and went to the Prophet ﷺ . He said, 'O Muhammad, I am carrying a letter to my people. I do not know what is in it, like a sealed document.' The Prophet ﷺ took it from him and looked at it. He said, 'What I ordered for you has been written therein.' He then mentioned the hadith and said, 'Whoever asks for something and he is wealthy, he is only increasing from the Fire.' They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what kind of wealth is it that does not require asking?' He said, 'To have satiety for a day and night, or a night and day, without needing to ask for anything.' None of these hadiths differ, as if the Prophet ﷺ knew what would make each of them wealthy, so he made their wealth with it. This is because people differ in their sufficiency, so some are enriched with fifty dirhams, while others have income that provides them with what they need for every day's food and dinner, and they have no dependents, so they are self-sufficient with it."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ الْحَنْظَلِيَّةِ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ ح وَأنبأ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ ثنا أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ ثنا النُّفَيْلِيُّ ثنا مِسْكِينُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُهَاجِرٍ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنَ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِي كَبْشَةَ السَّلُولِيِّ ثنا سَهْلُ ابْنُ الْحَنْظَلِيَّةِ قَالَ قَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ حِصْنٍ وَالْأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ فَسَأَلَاهُ فَأَمَرَ لَهُمَا بِمَا سَأَلَا وَأَمَرَ مُعَاوِيَةَ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ لَهُمَا بِمَا سَأَلَا قَالَ فَأَمَّا الْأَقْرَعُ فَلَفَّ كِتَابَهُ فِي عِمَامَتِهِ وَانْطَلَقَ وَأَمَّا عُيَيْنَةُ فَأَخَذَ كِتَابَهُ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ تَرَى إِنِّي حَامِلٌ إِلَى قَوْمِي كِتَابًا لَا أَدْرِي مَا فِيهِ كَصَحِيفَةِ الْمُلْتَمِسِ قَالَ فَأَخَذَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَنَظَرَ فِيهِ فَقَالَ قَدْ كُتِبَ لَكَ بِالَّذِي أَمَرْتُ لَكَ بِهِ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ سَأَلَ مَسْأَلَةً وَهُوَ مِنْهَا غَنِيٌّ فَإِنَّمَا يَسْتَكْثِرُ مِنَ النَّارِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا الْغِنَى الَّذِي لَا يَنْبَغِي مَعَهُ الْمَسْأَلَةُ؟ قَالَ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ شِبَعُ يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ أَوْ لَيْلَةٍ وَيَوْمٍ وَلَيْسَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَحَادِيثِ بِمُخْتَلِفٍ فَكَأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَلِمَ مَا يُغْنِي كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ فَجَعَلَ غِنَاهُ بِهِ وَذَلِكَ لِأَنَّ النَّاسَ يَخْتَلِفُونَ فِي قَدْرِ كِفَايَاتِهِمْ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يُغْنِيهِ خَمْسُونَ دِرْهَمًا لَا يُغْنِيهِ أَقَلُّ مِنْهَا وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ لَهُ كَسْبٌ يُدِرُّ عَلَيْهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مَا يُغَدِّيهِ وَيُعَشِّيهِ وَلَا عِيَالَ لَهُ فَهُوَ مُسْتَغْنٍ بِهِ  

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and complained to him about poverty. Then he returned and the Prophet said to him, "Go until you find something." He went and came back with a blanket and a bowl, and said, "O Messenger of Allah, they used to sleep on this blanket and wear it, and they used to drink from this bowl." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Who will take these from me for a dirham?" A man said, "I will, O Messenger of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Who will give more than a dirham?" A man said, "I will take them for two dirhams." The Prophet ﷺ said, "They are yours." Then he called the man and said to him, "Buy a dirham bundle and a dirham of food for your family." He did so and then returned to the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Go to this valley and do not leave any travelers without helping them, do not pass by any thorns without removing them, and do not bring me anything for fifteen days." He said, "I went and helped ten people." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Go and buy five dirhams of food for your family." The man said, "O Messenger of Allah, Allah has blessed me in what you have commanded me to do." The Prophet ﷺ said, "This is better for you than coming on the Day of Judgment with a dot on your face. Indeed, asking for help is only suitable for three types of people: someone with a painful wound, someone who is burdened with excessive debt, or someone who is extremely poor. The scholar said, "If he cannot fulfill his needs except with 200 or 1,000, then give him the minimum amount, as stated in the hadith of Qabeesah ibn Al-Mukhariq from the Prophet ﷺ, until he can support himself or have a sufficient livelihood. And with Allah is success."  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَشَكَا إِلَيْهِ الْفَاقَةَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَقَالَ لَهُ انْطَلِقْ حَتَّى تَجِدَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ فَجَاءَ بِحِلْسٍ وَقَدَحٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَذَا الْحِلْسُ كَانُوا يَفْتَرِشُونَ بَعْضَهُ وَيَلْبِسُونَ بَعْضَهُ وَهَذَا الْقَدَحُ كَانُوا يَشْرَبُونَ فِيهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ يَأْخُذُهُمَا مِنِّي بِدِرْهَمٍ؟ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ يَزِيدُ عَلَى دِرْهَمٍ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَنَا آخُذُهُمَا بِاثْنَيْنِ فَقَالَ هُمَا لَكَ قَالَ فَدَعَا الرَّجُلَ فَقَالَ لَهُ اشْتَرِ بِدِرْهَمٍ فَأْسًا وَبِدِرْهَمٍ طَعَامًا لِأَهْلِكَ قَالَ فَفَعَلَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ انْطَلِقْ إِلَى هَذَا الْوَادِي فَلَا تَدَعْ حَاجًّا وَلَا شَوْكًا وَلَا حَطَبًا وَلَا تَأْتِينِي خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْمًا قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ فَأَصَابَ عَشَرَةً قَالَ فَانْطَلِقْ فَاشْتَرِ بِخَمْسَةٍ طَعَامًا لِأَهْلِكَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَقَدْ بَارَكَ اللهُ لِي فِيمَا أَمَرْتَنِي فَقَالَ هَذَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَجِيءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَفِي وَجْهِكَ نُكْتَةُ الْمَسْأَلَةِ إِنَّ الْمَسْأَلَةَ لَا تَصْلُحُ إِلَّا لِثَلَاثَةٍ لِذِي دَمٍ مُوجِعٍ أَوْ غُرْمٍ مُفْظِعٍ أَوْ فَقْرٍ مُفْقِعٍ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَقَعْ لَهُ الْكِفَايَةُ إِلَّا بِمِائَتَيْنِ أَوْ بِأُلُوفٍ أُعْطِيَ قَدْرَ أَقَلِّ الْكِفَايَةِ بِدَلِيلِ مَا رُوِّينَا فِي حَدِيثِ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ الْمُخَارِقِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حَتَّى تُصِيبَ قِوَامًا مِنْ عَيْشٍ أَوْ سِدَادًا مِنْ عَيْشٍ وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said: "The womb is a drop of Allah. Whoever maintains good relations with it, Allah maintains good relations with him. And whoever severs it, Allah severs him." This is the wording of As-Saghaani and in a narration by Ad-Daarimi: "The womb is a drop of the Most Merciful."  

النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ الرَّحِمُ شُجْنَةٌ مِنَ اللهِ مَنْ وَصَلَهَا وَصَلَهُ اللهُ وَمَنْ قَطَعَهَا قَطَعَهُ اللهُ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الصَّغَانِيِّ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ الدَّارِمِيِّ الرَّحِمُ شُجْنَةٌ مِنَ الرَّحْمَنِ  

[Machine] He (saw) heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: Allah (swt) said, "I am the Most Merciful. I have created the womb (i.e., the family bond) and I have named it after My Name. So whoever maintains it, I will maintain connection with him, and whoever cuts it off, I will cut him off."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ أَنَا الرَّحْمَنُ خَلَقْتُ الرَّحِمَ وَشَقَقْتُ لَهَا اسْمًا مِنَ اسْمِي فَمَنْ وَصَلَهَا وَصَلْتُهُ وَمَنْ قَطَعَهَا بَتَتُّهُ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Allah said, 'I am Allah, and I am the Most Merciful. I created the womb and derived its name from My name. So whoever maintains good ties with it, I will maintain good ties with him, and whoever severs it, I will sever ties with him."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ أَنَا اللهُ وَأَنَا الرَّحْمَنُ خَلَقْتُ الرَّحِمَ وَشَقَقْتُ لَهَا مِنَ اسْمِي فَمَنْ وَصَلَهَا وَصَلْتُهُ وَمَنْ قَطَعَهَا بَتَتُّهُ  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "Indeed, Allah created all of creation until, when He finished His creation, the womb said, 'This is the place of refuge from severing the ties of kinship.' He said, 'Yes, are you not pleased that I shall maintain the one who maintains you and sever the one who severs you?' It said, 'Yes, O Lord.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Recite if you wish: 'Then do you think that you will act in such a way that you will cause corruption on the earth and sever your ties of kinship? They are those whom Allah has cursed, so He has made them deaf and blinded their vision." [Surah Muhammad: 23]  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ خَلَقَ الْخَلْقَ حَتَّى إِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ قَالَتِ الرَّحِمُ هَذَا مَقَامُ الْعَائِذِ مِنَ الْقَطِيعَةِ قَالَ نَعَمْ أَلَا تَرْضَيْنَ أَنْ أَصِلَ مَنْ وَصَلَكِ وَأَقْطَعَ مَنْ قَطَعَكِ؟ قَالَتْ بَلَى يَا رَبِّ قَالَ فَهُوَ لَكِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَاقْرءُوا إِنْ شِئْتُمْ {فَهَلْ عَسَيْتُمْ إنْ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ أَنْ تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَتُقَطِّعُوا أَرْحَامَكُمْ أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ لَعَنَهُمُ اللهُ فَأَصَمَّهُمْ وَأَعْمَى أَبْصَارَهُمْ} [محمد 23]  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and in another narration from Ibn 'Uyaynah from the Prophet ﷺ saying, "A person who cuts off ties will not enter Paradise."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ قَاطِعٌ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The one who maintains ties of kinship is not the one who reciprocates, but rather the one who reconciles when the relationship is cut off."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ الْوَاصِلُ بِالْمُكَافِي وَلَكِنَّ الْوَاصِلَ مَنْ إِذَا قُطِعَتْ رَحِمُهُ وَصَلَهَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, ties of kinship are attached to the Throne, and not connected by blood relations. Rather, the one who maintains ties of kinship is the one whose ties are severed, yet they still maintain them."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ الرَّحِمَ مُعَلَّقَةٌ بِالْعَرْشِ وَلَيْسَ الْوَاصِلُ بِالْمُكَافِي وَلَكِنَّ الْوَاصِلَ الَّذِي إِذَا انْقَطَعَتْ رَحِمُهُ وَصَلَهَا
