Zakat & Charity

حَدَّثَنَا عِصَامُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ وَأَبُو الْيَمَانِ قَالَا أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بَعْدَهُ وَكَفَرَ مَنْ كَفَرَ مِنْ الْعَرَبِ قَالَ عُمَرُ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ كَيْفَ تُقَاتِلُ النَّاسَ وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَمَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَقَدْ عَصَمَ مِنِّي مَالَهُ وَنَفْسَهُ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهِ وَحِسَابُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَاللَّهِ لَأُقَاتِلَنَّ قَالَ أَبُو الْيَمَانِ لَأَقْتُلَنَّ مَنْ فَرَّقَ بَيْنَ الصَّلَاةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ فَإِنَّ الزَّكَاةَ حَقُّ الْمَالِ وَاللَّهِ لَوْ مَنَعُونِي عَنَاقًا كَانُوا يُؤَدُّونَهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَقَاتَلْتُهُمْ عَلَى مَنْعِهَا قَالَ عُمَرُ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ رَأَيْتُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ شَرَحَ صَدْرَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ لِلْقِتَالِ فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ

'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah bin 'Utbah bin Mas'ood told us that Abu Hurairah said: When the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) died and Abu Bakr became (caliph) after him, and some of the Arabs apostatized, 'Umar said: O Abu Bakr, how can you fight the people when the Messenger of Allah said: "I have been ordered to fight the people until they bear witness that there is no god except Allah. Whoever bears witness that there is no god except Allah has protected his wealth and his life from me, except in cases dictated by Islamic law, and their reckoning will be with Allah"? Abu Bakr said: By Allah I shall certainly fight the one who separates prayer and zakah, for zakah is what is due from wealth. By Allah, whoever withholds from me a goat that they used to give (in zakah ) to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), I shall fight them for withholding it. 'Umar said: By Allah, as soon as I realized that Allah had opened the heart of Abu Bakr to fighting, I realized that it was the right thing to do.

حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ عُمَرَ حَمَلَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَرَآهَا أَوْ بَعْضَ نِتَاجِهَا يُبَاعُ فَأَرَادَ شِرَاءَهُ فَسَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ اتْرُكْهَا تُوَافِكَ أَوْ تَلْقَهَا جَمِيعًا وَقَالَ مَرَّتَيْنِ فَنَهَاهُ وَقَالَ لَا تَشْتَرِهِ وَلَا تَعُدْ فِي صَدَقَتِكَ

It was narrated from Zaid bin Aslam, from his father that 'Umar gave a horse (to a man for jihad) for the sake of Allah, then he saw it or one of its foals being offered for sale, and he wanted to buy it. He asked the Prophet (PBUH) about it and he said: "Leave it, and it (its reward) will come to you or you will have them all (i.e., the reward of all of them)." On one occasion he said: He told him not to (buy it) and he said: "Do not buy it and do not take back your charity."

حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ وَطَلْحَةَ وَالزُّبَيْرِ وَسَعْدٍ نَشَدْتُكُمْ بِاللَّهِ الَّذِي تَقُومُ السَّمَاءُ وَالْأَرْضُ بِهِ أَعَلِمْتُمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّا لَا نُورَثُ مَا تَرَكْنَا صَدَقَةٌ قَالُوا اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ

It was narrated that Malik bin Aws said: I heard 'Umar say to 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf, Talhah, az-Zubair and Sa'd: We adjure you by Allah, by Whom heaven and earth are sustained, did you know that the Messenger of Allah said: “Our (Prophets') property is not to be inherited and whatever we leave behind is charity." They said: By Allah, yes.

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَابَيْهِ عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ قُلْتُ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَنْ تَقْصُرُوا مِنْ الصَّلَاةِ إِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَنْ يَفْتِنَكُمْ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَقَدْ أَمَّنَ اللَّهُ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ لِي عُمَرُ عَجِبْتُ مِمَّا عَجِبْتَ مِنْهُ فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ صَدَقَةٌ تَصَدَّقَ اللَّهُ بِهَا عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْبَلُوا صَدَقَتَهُ

It was narrated that Ya'la bin Umayyah said: i said to 'Umar bin al-Khattab "And when you (Muslims) travel in the land, there is no sin on you if you shorten As-Salah (the prayer) if you fear that the disbelievers may put you in trial (attack you)" [an-Nisa' 4:101]. But now the people are safe. He said: I wondered the same thing as you are wondering, and I asked the Messenger of Allah about that. He said: "It is a charity that Allah has bestowed upon you, so accept His charity."

It was narrated that Yahya bin Ya'mar and Humaid bin 'Abdur-Rahman al-Himyari said: We met 'Abdullah bin 'Umar and discussed the divine decree ( al-qadar) and what others said concerning it. He said: When you go back to them, say: Ibn 'Umar has nothing to do with you and you have nothing to do with him three times. Then he said: 'Umar bin al-Khattab told me that whilst they were sitting with the Prophet a man came to him walking, with a handsome face and hair, wearing white clothes. The people looked at one another (as if to say): We do not know this man and he does not look like a traveller. Then he said: O Messenger of Allah, shall I come to you? He said: "Yes." So he came and put his knees against his knees and his hands on his thighs and said: What is Islam? He said: "To testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish regular prayer, to give zakah, to fast Ramadan and to go on pilgrimage to the House." He said: What is faith (eeman)? He said: "To believe in Allah, His angels. Paradise and Hell, resurrection after death and the divine decree, all of it." He said: What is ihsan? He said: "To strive for the sake of Allah as if you see Him, and even though you do not see Him, He sees you." He said: When will the Hour come? He said: "The one who is asked about it does not know more than the one who is asking." He said: What are its portents? He said: "When the destitute, barefoot, naked shepherds compete in constructing lofty buildings, and the slave women give birth to their masters." Then he said: "Call the man to me." They looked for him but they saw no trace of him. Two or three days passed, then he said: "O Ibn al-Khattab, do you know who that was who asked about such and such?" He said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: "That was Jibreel who came to teach you your religion." A man from Juhainah or Muzainah asked him: O Messenger of Allahwhat are we striving for? Is it . something that is already decided or is it something that is evolving right now? He said: "For some thing that is already decided." The man or one of the people said: O Messenger of Allah, then why should we strive? He said: "The people of Paradise will be enabled to do the deeds of the people of Paradise and the people of Hell will be enabled to do the deeds of the people of Hell." Yahya said: And that is how it is.

It was narrated from Harithah bin Mudarrib that he did Hajj with 'Umar bin al- Khattab (RA). The nobles of Syria came to him ['Umar] and said: O Ameer al-Mu'mineen, we have acquired slaves and mounts, so take charity from our wealth in order to purify us thereby, and it will be zakah for us. He said: This is something that the two who came before me did not do; I shall wait until I ask the Muslims.

It was narrated that 'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah bin 'Utbah said: When the apostates apostatised at the time of Abu Bakr, 'Umar said: How can you fight the people, O Abu Bakr, when the Messenger of Allah (PBUH)said: "I have been commanded to fight the people until they say La ilaha ilhllah (There is no god but Allah), and whoever says La ilcrfia illallah, his wealth and his life are protected from me except in cases dictated by Islamic law, and his reckoning will be with Allah"? Abu Bakr said: By Allah, I will most certainly fight those who separate prayer and zakah, for zakah is what is due on wealth. By Allah, if they withhold from me a small she-goat that they used to give to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), I will certainly fight them for withholding it. 'Umar bin ai-Khattab said: By Allah, as soon as I saw that Allah had opened Abu Bakr's heart to the idea of fighting, i knew that he was right.

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَابَيْهِ عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِقْصَارُ النَّاسِ الصَّلَاةَ الْيَوْمَ وَإِنَّمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَنْ يَفْتِنَكُمْ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَقَدْ ذَهَبَ ذَاكَ الْيَوْمَ فَقَالَ عَجِبْتُ مِمَّا عَجِبْتَ مِنْهُ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ صَدَقَةٌ تَصَدَّقَ اللَّهُ بِهَا عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْبَلُوا صَدَقَتَهُ

It was narrated that Ya'Ja bin Umayyah said: I said to 'Umar bin al-Khattab: People are shortening the prayer today, and Allah says: "If you fear that the disbelievers may put you in trial (attack you)" [an-Nisa' 4:101 ]. But that time [i.e., time of fear] has gone. He said: I wondered the same thing as you are wondering, and I asked the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) about that. He said: "It is a charity that Allah has bestowed upon you, so accept His charity."

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ وَجَدَ فَرَسًا كَانَ حَمَلَ عَلَيْهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ تُبَاعُ فِي السُّوقِ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَهَا فَسَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَنَهَاهُ وَقَالَ لَا تَعُودَنَّ فِي صَدَقَتِكَ

It was narrated fromZaid bin Aslam from his father from 'Umar (RA), that he found a horse that he had given to someone (for jihad) for the sake of Allah being offered for sale in the marketplace, and he wanted to buy it. He asked the Prophet (PBUH) [about that] and he told him not to do that and said: "Do not take back your charity."

عُمَرَ، ← أَبِيهِ ← زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، ← هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، ← وَكِيعٌ،

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ السَّعْدِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ لِي عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَلَمْ أُحَدَّثْ أَنَّكَ تَلِي مِنْ أَعْمَالِ النَّاسِ أَعْمَالًا فَإِذَا أُعْطِيتَ الْعُمَالَةَ لَمْ تَقْبَلْهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَمَا تُرِيدُ إِلَى ذَاكَ قَالَ أَنَا غَنِيٌّ لِي أَعْبُدٌ وَلِي أَفْرَاسٌ أُرِيدُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَمَلِي صَدَقَةً عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ قَالَ لَا تَفْعَلْ فَإِنِّي كُنْتُ أَفْعَلُ مِثْلَ الَّذِي تَفْعَلُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُعْطِينِي الْعَطَاءَ فَأَقُولُ أَعْطِهِ مَنْ هُوَ أَفْقَرُ إِلَيْهِ مِنِّي فَقَالَ خُذْهُ فَإِمَّا أَنْ تَمَوَّلَهُ وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَصَدَّقَ بِهِ وَمَا آتَاكَ اللَّهُ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ وَأَنْتَ غَيْرُ مُشْرِفٍ لَهُ وَلَا سَائِلِهِ فَخُذْهُ وَمَا لَا فَلَا تُتْبِعْهُ نَفْسَكَ

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin as-Sa'di said: 'Umar (RA) said to me: Haven't been told that you do certain tasks for the state, then when you are given payment you do not accept it? He said: Ves. He said: Why do you do that? He said: i am well off and I have slaves and horses; I want my work to be a charity to the Muslims. He said: Do not do that, for I used to do what you are doing, and the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) would give me payment, and I would say: Give it someone who is more in need of it than me. And he said: Whatever of this wealth comes to you when you are not hoping for it or asking for it, take it, otherwise do not hanker after it."

It was narrated that 'Umar bin al-Khattab (RA) said: I gave a horse for the sake of Allah, but its owner neglected it. I thought that he would sell it for a cheap price, but I said to myself, not until I ask the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) about that. He said: "Do not buy it even if he gives it to you for a dirham, for the one who takes back his charity is like the dog that goes back to its vomit."

It was narrated that Abul-'Ajfa' as-Sulami said: I heard 'Umar say: Do not make women's dowries expensive, do not make women's dowries expensive, for had this been a sign of honour in this world or piety before Allah, the first one of you to do it would have been the Prophet (PBUH). The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) O did not give any of his wives, and none of his daughters were given, any more than twelve Ooqiyyahs [as a dowry]. And a man will go to great trouble in order to offer a high dowry to his wife. On one occasion he said: A man would pay his wife a high dowry until he feels resentment towards her and says: You cost me everything I own, even the string to tie a waterskin and hang it up. He [the narrator] said: I was a young Arab boy with a non-Arab mother, and I did not know what a “string" was. ['Umar] said: And another thing, you say of one who is killed in your campaigns and dies that So and so was killed as a martyr, and So and so died as a martyr. But perhaps he loaded the back of his mount with gold and silver for the purpose of trading. So do not say that; rather say what the Prophet [or what Muhammad] (PBUH) said: “Whoever is killed or dies for the sake of Allah will be in Paradise."

It was narrated that 'Adi bin Hatim said: I came to Umar bin al-Khattab with some of my people and he starting giving to each man of Tayy two thousand, and he ignored me. I tried to come in front of him and he turned away from me, then I came from the direction he was facing and he turned away from me. Then I said: O Ameer al-Mu'mineen, do you recognize me? He smiled and leaned backwards, then he said: Yes, by Allah! i know that you believed when they disbelieved, and you came when they turned away, and you remained loyal when they betrayed. The first sadnqah { zakah ) that brightened the face of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and the faces of his Companions was tiie sadnqah of Tayy that you bi ought to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH). Then he began to apologize, then he said: I am only giving to people who are extremely poor and they are the leaders of their tribes and have responsibilities.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah (RA) said: When the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) died and some people apostatised, 'Umar bin al-Khattab (RA) said: O Abu Bakr, how can you fight the people, when the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "I have been commanded to fight the people until they say La ilaha illallah (There is no god but Allah), and whoever says La ilaha illallah , his wealth and his life are protected from me, and his reckoning will be with Allah"? Abu Bakr said: I will most certainly fight those who separate prayer and zaknh, for zakah is what is due on wealth. By Allah, if they withhold from me a small she-goat that they used to give to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), I will certainly fight them for with- holding it. 'Umar (RA) said: By Allah, as soon as I saw that Allah had opened Abu Bakr's heart to the idea of fighting, I knew that he was right.

He came and sat before the Prophet (PBUH), resting his knees against his and placing his hands on his thighs. He said: O Muhammad, tell me about Islam: what is Islam? The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "Islam means to bear witness that there is no god except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish regular prayer, to pay zakah, to fast Ramadan and to perform pilgrimage to the House (the Ka'bah), if you have the means." He said: You have spoken the truth. He ('Umar) said: It amazed us, how he questioned him and said that he had spoken the truth. He said: Tell me about faith ( Eenian ). He said: "Faith is to believe in Allah, His angels. His Books, His Messengers, the Last Day, and to believe in al-qadar (the divine will and decree), both good and bad." He said: You have spoken the truth. He said: Tell me about ihsan: what is ihsan ? Yazeed said: - "It is to worship Allah as if you can see Him, for although you cannot see Him, He sees you." He said: Tell me about the Hour. He said: "The one who is asked about it does not know more than the one who is asking." He said: Then tell me about its signs. lie said: "When the slave woman gives birth to her mistress, and when you see the barefoot, naked, destitute shepherds competing in the construction of lofty buildings." He ['Umar] said: Then he went away. He ['Umar] waited for a while - Yazeed said: three (days). Then he (the Prophet (PBUH)) said to me: "O 'Umar, do you know who that questioner was?" I said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: "That was Jibreel, who came to you to teach you your religion."

It was narrated that Ibn as- Sa'idi al-Maliki said: 'Umar bin al- Khattab (RA) appointed me in charge of the zakah, and when i had finished with it and handed it over to him, he ordered that i be given some remuneration. I said: I only did it for the sake of Allah and my reward is with Allah. He said: Take what is given to you. I was appointed to do some work at the time of the Messenger of Allah and he gave me some remuneration, and i said the same as you have said, but the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said to me: "If you are given something without asking for it, then take it and give some in charity."

It was narrated that Ibn Ya'mar said: I said to Ibn "Umar: We travel to different countries and we meet people who say there is no qadar (divine decree). Ibn 'Umar said: If you meet them, tell them that 'Abdullah bin 'Umar has nothing to do with them and they have nothing to do with him - three times. Then he started narrating: Whilst we were with the Messenger of Allah (RA), there came a man.,, and he described his appearance. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: Come closer, so he came closer. He said: Come closer, so he came closer. He said: Come closer, so he came closer, until his knees were nearly touching [the Prophet's] knees. Then he said: O Messenger of Allah, tell me what is faith [or: about faith]. He said: "To believe in Allah, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, the Last Day, and to believe in al-qadar” - Sufyan said: I think he said: "... both good and bad." He said: What is Islam? He said: "To establish prayer, pay zakah, perform pilgrimage to the House, to fast Ramadan and to do ghusl in the case of janabah” For all of that, he [the stranger] said: You are right, you are right. The people said: We never saw any man show more respect to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) than this man did. It was as if he was teaching the Messenger of Allah (PBUH). Then he said: O Messenger of Allah, tell me about ihsan. He said: “It is to worship Allah as if you see Him, for even if you do not see Him, He sees you." For all of that we said: We never saw any man show more respect to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) than this man did; he said: You are right, you are right. He said: Tell me about the Hour. He said: "The one who is asked about it does not know more about it than one who is asking." He said: You are right. He said it several times, and we never saw any man show more respect to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) than this man did. Then he left. Sufyan said: I heard that die Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "Look for him," but they did not find him. He said: "That was ]ibred who came to you to teach you your religion. He never came to me in any form but I recognised him, except for this form."
