4. Zakāh (Charity)
٤۔ كِتَابُ الزَّكَاةِ
"One day we were sitting in the Masjid with a group of the Muhajirin and Ansar, We sent a man to 'Aishah to ask permission to come to her. She said: 'A beggar came in to me one day when the Messenger of Allah was present, and I ordered that he be given something, then I called for it and looked at it. The Messenger of Allah said: Do you want that nothing should enter or leave your house without your knowledge? I said: 'Yes.' He said: "Don't be hasty, O 'Aishah. Do not count what you give, otherwise Allah will count what He gives to you."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2549)
كُنَّا يَوْمًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ جُلُوسًا وَنَفَرٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ فَأَرْسَلْنَا رَجُلًا إِلَى عَائِشَةَ لِيَسْتَأْذِنَ فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهَا قَالَتْ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ سَائِلٌ مَرَّةً وَعِنْدِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَمَرْتُ لَهُ بِشَيْءٍ ثُمَّ دَعَوْتُ بِهِ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَمَا تُرِيدِينَ أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلَ بَيْتَكِ شَيْءٌ وَلَا يَخْرُجَ إِلَّا بِعِلْمِكِ؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «مَهْلًا يَا عَائِشَةُ» لَا تُحْصِي فَيُحْصِيَ اللهُ عَلَيْكِ
"Do not count what you give, otherwise Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, will count what He gives to you." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2550)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَهَا «لَا تُحْصِي فَيُحْصِيَ اللهُ عَلَيْكِ»
Apostle of Allah, I have nothing with me, but only, that which is given to me by Zubair (for household expenses). Is there any sin for me if I spend out of that which is given to me (by Zabair)? Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: Spend according to your means; and do not hoard, for Allah will withhold from you. (Using translation from Muslim 1029d)
أَنَّهَا جَاءَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ لَيْسَ لِي شَيْءٌ إِلَّا مَا أَدْخَلَ عَلَيَّ الزُّبَيْرُ فَهَلْ عَلَيَّ جُنَاحٌ فِي أَنْ أَرْضَخَ مِمَّا يُدْخِلُ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ «ارْضَخِي مَا اسْتَطَعْتِ وَلَا تُوكِي فَيُوكِيَ اللهُ عَلَيْكِ»
