حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُمَرَ بْنِ غَانِمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ زِيَادَ بْنَ نُعَيْمٍ الْحَضْرَمِيَّ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ زِيَادَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ الصُّدَائِيَّ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَبَايَعْتُهُ فَذَکَرَ حَدِيثًا طَوِيلًا قَالَ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ أَعْطِنِي مِنْ الصَّدَقَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَی لَمْ يَرْضَ بِحُکْمِ نَبِيٍّ وَلَا غَيْرِهِ فِي الصَّدَقَاتِ حَتَّی حَکَمَ فِيهَا هُوَ فَجَزَّأَهَا ثَمَانِيَةَ أَجْزَائٍ فَإِنْ کُنْتَ مِنْ تِلْکَ الْأَجْزَائِ أَعْطَيْتُکَ حَقَّکَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1630
Narrated Ziyad ibn al-Harith as-Sudai: 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.
