CHAPTER: On Giving Sadaqah To Banu Hashim.
Narrated Malik ibn Nadlah: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Hands are of three types: Allah's hand is the upper one; the bestower's hand is the one near it; the beggar's hand is the lower one. So bestow what is surplus, and do not submit yourself to the demand of your soul.
Narrated Abu Rafi: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم 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 صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم 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.
Anas said: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم came upon a date on the road; he would not take it for fear of being a part of the sadaqah.
Anas said: Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم found a date and said: Were it not that I fear it may be part of the sadaqah, I would eat it.
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: My father sent me to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم to take the camels which he had given him from among those of sadaqah.
The aforesaid tradition has also been transmitted by Ibn Abbas through a different chain of narrators in a similar manner. This version adds: “My father exchanged them for him”.
