the Messenger of Allah sent a man from Banu Makhzun to collect charity, so he said to Abu Rafi: "Accompany me so that perhaps you may have some of it." So he said: "Not until I ask the Messenger of Allah." So he went to the Prophet to ask him, and he said: "Charity is not lawful for us, and to be the Mawda of a people to be the same as them." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 657)

عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَكَانَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي مَخْزُومٍ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ فَقَالَ «اصْحَبْنِي كَيْمَا تُصِيبَ مِنْهَا» قُلْتُ حَتَّى آتِيَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ مَوْلَى الْقَوْمِ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَإِنَّا لَا تَحِلُّ لَنَا الصَّدَقَةُ»

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ sent a man from the tribe of Makhzum to collect charity. The man said, "Won't you accompany me so that you may benefit?"

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ sent a man to collect charity from the tribe of Bani Makhzum. The man asked Abu Rafa' to accompany him, saying that he would get a share from it. Abu Rafa' agreed and they went to the Prophet ﷺ to ask for his permission. When they approached him, they asked for permission and the man said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am the servant of the people from themselves and we are not allowed to receive charity." The Prophet ﷺ then mentioned in this narration that the Banu Hashim and the Banu Muttalib were also forbidden from receiving charity. And likewise, they are mentioned in prayers for them. And Allah knows best.
