23.98 Charity Is Not Permissible For The Prophet

٢٣۔٩٨ باب الصَّدَقَةِ لاَ تَحِلُّ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ

nasai:2613Ziyād b. Ayyūb > ʿAbd al-Wāḥid b. Wāṣil > Bahz b. Ḥakīm from his father from his grandfather

"If something was brought to him, the prophet would ask whether it was a gift or charity. If it was said that if was charity, he would not eat, and if it was said that it was a gift, he would stretch forth his hand."  

النسائي:٢٦١٣أَخْبَرَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ وَاصِلٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِشَىْءٍ سَأَلَ عَنْهُ أَهَدِيَّةٌ أَمْ صَدَقَةٌ فَإِنْ قِيلَ صَدَقَةٌ لَمْ يَأْكُلْ وَإِنْ قِيلَ هَدِيَّةٌ بَسَطَ يَدَهُ
