[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, I am a person with abundant wealth, family, and children. So how should I behave or spend it?" He (the Prophet) said, "Pay the obligatory Zakat as purification for yourself and give good treatment to your relatives. Also, recognize the rights of the beggars, neighbors, the destitute, and the traveler." He asked, "O Messenger of Allah, advice me to the minimum." The Prophet said, "Give the rightful share to your close relatives, the destitute, and those stranded on the road, and do not waste excessively." He asked, "O Messenger of Allah, if I pay the Zakat to the Messenger of the Messenger of Allah, have I paid it to Allah and His Messenger?" He said, "Yes, if you have paid it to His Messenger, then you have indeed paid it, and you will receive its reward, while the sin will be upon the one who substitutes it."
يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي ذُو مَالٍ كَثِيرٍ وَذُو أَهْلٍ وَوَلَدٍ فَكَيْفَ يَجِبُ لِي أَنْ أَصْنَعَ أَوْ أُنْفِقَ قَالَ «أَدِّ الزَّكَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ طُهْرَةً تُطَهِّرُكَ وَآتِ صِلَةَ الرَّحِمِ وَاعْرِفْ حَقَّ السَّائِلِ وَالْجَارِ وَالْمِسْكِينِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَقْلِلْ لِي قَالَ «فَآتِ ذَا الْقُرْبَى حَقَّهُ وَالْمِسْكِينَ وَابْنَ السَّبِيلِ وَلَا تُبَذِّرْ تَبْذِيرًا» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِذَا أَدَّيْتُ الزَّكَاةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَدْ أَدَّيْتُهَا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ إِذَا أَدَّيْتَهَا إِلَى رَسُولِهِ فَقَدْ أَدَّيْتَهَا وَلَكَ أَجْرُهَا وَعَلَى مَنْ بَدَّلَهَا إِثْمُهَا»
