ذِكْرُ مَا يَجِبُ عَلَى الْإِمَامِ مِنْ فَكِّ رَقَبَةِ مَنْ تَحَمَّلَ بِحَمَالَةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مِنْ خُمْسِ خُمُسِهِ
[Machine] About my people, I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have taken a responsibility upon myself for my people, so help me with it." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Rather, we will carry it for you." He then said, "It is for you in the charity's camels when they come." Then he said, "O Qabeesah ibn Mukhareq, asking for help is only permissible for one of three: a man who has taken a responsibility upon himself for his people seeking reform and he asks until he achieves his goal, a man who is struck by poverty and three of his people testify for him, and he asks until he becomes self-sufficient, or a man who is struck by calamity and he asks until he becomes self-sufficient. Other than these cases, O Qabeesah, asking for help is forbidden." He repeated this statement three times.
عَنْ قَوْمِي فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي تَحَمَّلْتُ حَمَالَةً عَنْ قَوْمِي فَأَعِنِّي فِيهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «بَلْ نَحْمِلُهُ عَنْكَ» قَالَ هِيَ لَكَ فِي إِبِلِ الصَّدَقَةِ إِذَا جَاءَتْ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا قَبِيصَةُ بْنَ مُخَارِقٍ إِنَّ الْمَسْأَلَةَ لَا تَحِلُّ إِلَّا لِإِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ رَجُلٍ تَحَمَّلَ حَمَالَةً عَنْ قَوْمِهِ إِرَادَةَ الْإِصْلَاحِ فَسَأَلَ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ أُمْنِيَّتَهُ أَمْسَكَ وَرَجُلٍ أَصَابَتْهُ فَاقَةٌ فَشَهِدَ لَهُ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنْ ذَوِي الْحِجَا مِنْ قَوْمِهِ حَتَّى إِذَا أَصَابَ قِوَامًا أَوْ سِدَادًا أَمْسَكَ وَرَجُلٍ أَصَابَتْهُ جَائِحَةٌ فَسَأَلَ حَتَّى إِذَا أَصَابَ قِوَامًا أَوْ سِدَادًا أَمْسَكَ وَمَا سِوَى ذَلِكَ يَا قَبِيصَةُ مِنَ الْمَسْأَلَةِ سُحْتٌ» قَالَهَا ثَلَاثًا
