24. Zakāh (Ritual Charity)
٢٤۔ كتاب الزكاة
The Prophet ﷺ went to ʿAisha and asked her whether she had something (to eat). She replied that she had nothing except the mutton (piece) which Nusaiba (Um 'Atiyya) had sent to us (Barira) in charity." The Prophet ﷺ said, "It has reached its place and now it is not a thing of charity but a gift for us."
عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ الأَنْصَارِيَّةِ ؓ قَالَتْ دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ ؓ فَقَالَ هَلْ عِنْدَكُمْ شَىْءٌ فَقَالَتْ لاَ إِلاَّ شَىْءٌ بَعَثَتْ بِهِ إِلَيْنَا نُسَيْبَةُ مِنَ الشَّاةِ الَّتِي بَعَثْتَ بِهَا مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ فَقَالَ إِنَّهَا قَدْ بَلَغَتْ مَحِلَّهَا
Some meat was presented to the Prophet ﷺ and it had been given to Barira (the freed slave-girl of Aisha) in charity. He said, "This meat is a thing of charity for Barira but it is a gift for us."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أُتِيَ بِلَحْمٍ تُصُدِّقَ بِهِ عَلَى بَرِيرَةَ فَقَالَ هُوَ عَلَيْهَا صَدَقَةٌ وَهُوَ لَنَا هَدِيَّةٌ وَقَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ أَنْبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ سَمِعَ أَنَسًا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ
