حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ کَثِيرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ الْحَکَمِ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَ رَجُلًا عَلَی الصَّدَقَةِ مِنْ بَنِي مَخْزُومٍ فَقَالَ لِأَبِي رَافِعٍ اصْحَبْنِي فَإِنَّکَ تُصِيبُ مِنْهَا قَالَ حَتَّی آتِيَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَسْأَلَهُ فَأَتَاهُ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ مَوْلَی الْقَوْمِ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَإِنَّا لَا تَحِلُّ لَنَا الصَّدَقَةُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1650
Narrated Abu Rafi: The Prophet ﷺ sent a man of the Banu Makhzum to collect sadaqah. He said to Abu Rafi: Accompany me so that you may get some of it. He said: (I cannot take it) until I go to the Prophet ﷺ and ask him. Then he went to him and asked him. He said: The sadaqah is not lawful for us, and the client of a people is treated as one of them.
