I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and swore allegiance to him, and after telling a long story he said: Then a man came to him and said: Give me some of the sadaqah (alms). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Allah is not pleased with a Prophet's or anyone else's decision about sadaqat till He has given a decision about them Himself. He has divided those entitled to them into eight categories, so if you come within those categories, I shall give you what you desire.

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَبَايَعْتُهُ فَذَكَرَ حَدِيثًا طَوِيلاً قَالَ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ أَعْطِنِي مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى لَمْ يَرْضَ بِحُكْمِ نَبِيٍّ وَلاَ غَيْرِهِ فِي الصَّدَقَاتِ حَتَّى حَكَمَ فِيهَا هُوَ فَجَزَّأَهَا ثَمَانِيَةَ أَجْزَاءٍ فَإِنْ كُنْتَ مِنْ تِلْكَ الأَجْزَاءِ أَعْطَيْتُكَ حَقَّكَ

[AI] I heard Ziyad bin al-Harith al-Suda'i, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, narrating that he said: I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he mentioned a hadith until he said: Then another person came to him and said: O Prophet of Allah, give me. The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said: Whoever asks people for their surplus wealth, he will have a headache and a disease in his stomach. The asker said: Give me something from charity. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: Verily, Allah is not pleased with decisions made by a Prophet or anyone else regarding charity, until He Himself makes a decision about it by dividing it into eight parts. If you are among those eight parts, then I will give you your right.

سَمِعْتُ زِيَادَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ الصُّدَائِيَّ صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يُحَدِّثُ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى أَنْ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ آخَرُ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ أَعْطِنِي فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ سَأَلَ النَّاسَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى فَصُدَاعٌ فِي الرَّأْسِ وَدَاءٌ فِي الْبَطْنِ فَقَالَ السَّائِلُ فَأَعْطِنِي مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ لَمْ يَرْضَ فِيهَا بِحُكْمِ نَبِيٍّ وَلَا غَيْرِهِ فِي الصَّدَقَاتِ حَتَّى حَكَمَ هُوَ فِيهَا فَجَزَّأَهَا ثَمَانِيَةَ أَجْزَاءٍ فَإِنْ كُنْتَ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْأَجْزَاءِ أَعْطَيْتُكَ أَوْ أَعْطَيْنَاكَ حَقَّكَ

[AI] I heard Ziyad ibn al-Harith al-Suda'i, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , narrate: I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and pledged allegiance to him on Islam. He mentioned a hadith and then another person came to him and said, "Give me from the charity." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied to him, "Verily, Allah did not give power to anyone, whether a Prophet or otherwise, to decide regarding charity until He Himself decides. And He allocated it into eight parts." He then said, "If you belong to those eight parts, I would give it to you or give you your right."

سَمِعْتُ زِيَادَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ الصُّدَائِيَّ ؓ صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يُحَدِّثُ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَبَايَعْتُهُ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ آخَرُ فَقَالَ أَعْطِنِي مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ لَمْ يَرْضَ فِيهَا بِحُكْمِ نَبِيٍّ وَلَا غَيْرِهِ فِي الصَّدَقَاتِ حَتَّى يَحْكُمَ هُوَ فِيهَا فَجَزَّأَهَا ثَمَانِيَةَ أَجْزَاءٍ قَالَ فَإِنْ كُنْتَ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْأَجْزَاءِ أَعْطَيْتُكَ أَوْ أَعْطَيْنَاكَ حَقَّكَ
