MUHAMMAD’S TEACHINGS TO MANKIND

ḤADĪTH OF THE DAY

“ The Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, sent a man from the family of Makhzūm to collect the alms (2). The man said to Abū-Rāfi', "Accompany me so that you can get a share of the alms (3)." But Abu-Rāfi' replied, "Not until I consult the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him." Abū-Rāfi' then set off to ask the Prophet who replied, "Indeed, charity is not permissible for us; and certainly people's manumitted slaves are [considered] members of their household (4)". Footnotes: (1) Abu-Rāfi' al-Qibṭī was a manumitted slave living within the household of the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him. (2) (Prescribed almsgiving): Zakāt is one of the five pillars of Islām; a sum equivalent to 2.5% of a Muslim's wealth exceeding a determined threshold, which is stored over one year, is paid annually for the benefit of the needy. (3) People employed to collect, store and distribute alms money are entitled to a share of the alms. (4) Since Abū-Rāfi' was the freed slave of the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, and he lived in his house, he was considered a member of the Prophet's family. ”

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِى عُمَرَ وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِىِّ عَنْ أَبِى سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ أَبْصَرَ الأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ النَّبِىَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُوَ يُقَبِّلُ الْحَسَنَ قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِى عُمَرَ الْحُسَيْنَ أَوِ الْحَسَنَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ لِى مِنَ الْوَلَدِ عَشَرَةً مَا قَبَّلْتُ أَحَدًا مِنْهُمْ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِنَّهُ مَنْ لاَ يَرْحَمْ لاَ يُرْحَمْ. قَالَ وَفِى الْبَابِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ وَعَائِشَةَ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَأَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ اسْمُهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ. وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.
