حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَدِيِّ بْنِ الْخِيَارِ

قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي رَجُلَانِ، أَنَّهُمَا أَتَيَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ وَهُوَ يَقْسِمُ الصَّدَقَةَ فَسَأَلَاهُ مِنْهَا فَرَفَعَ فِينَا الْبَصَرَ وَخَفَضَهُ فَرَآنَا جَلْدَيْنِ فَقَالَ: «إِنْ شِئْتُمَا أَعْطَيْتُكُمَا وَلَا حَظَّ فِيهَا لِغَنِيٍّ وَلَا لِقَوِيٍّ مُكْتَسِبٍ»

Two men informed me that they went to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) when he was at the Farewell Pilgrimage while he was distributing the sadaqah and asked him for some of it. He looked us up and down, and seeing that we were robust, he said: If you wish, I shall give you something, but there is nothing spare in it for a rich man or for one who is strong and able to earn a living.

‘উবায়দুল্লাহ ইবনু ‘আদী ইবনুল খিয়ার (রহঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, দু’ ব্যক্তি আমাকে সংবাদ দেন যে, তারা বিদায় হাজ্জের সময় রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর নিকট উপস্থিত হন, তখন তিনি (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম) সাদাকা বিতরণ করছিলেন। তারা উভয়ে তাঁর কাছে যাকাত হতে কিছু চাইলেন। তিনি আমাদের দিকে চোখ তুলে তাকিয়ে আবার চোখ নামালেন।

তিনি দেখলেন, তারা উভয়েই স্বাস্থ্যবান। তিনি বললেনঃ তোমরা চাইলে আমি তোমাদেরকে দিবো, কিন্তু এতে ধনী ও কর্মক্ষম ব্যক্তির অংশ নেই।[1] সহীহ।

عبیداللہ بن عدی بن خیار رضی اللہ عنہما کہتے ہیں کہ دو آدمیوں نے مجھے خبر دی ہے کہ وہ حجۃ الوداع میں نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے پاس آئے، آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم صدقہ تقسیم فرما رہے تھے، انہوں نے بھی آپ سے مانگا، آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے نظر اٹھا کر ہمیں دیکھا اور پھر نظر جھکا لی، آپ نے ہمیں موٹا تازہ دیکھ کر فرمایا: اگر تم دونوں چاہو تو میں تمہیں دے دوں لیکن اس میں مالدار کا کوئی حصہ نہیں اور نہ طاقتور کا جو مزدوری کر کے کما سکتا ہو ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada Kami [Musaddad], telah menceritakan kepada Kami [Isa bin Yunus], telah menceritakan kepada Kami [Hisyam bin 'Urwah] dari [ayahnya] dari [Ubaidillah bin Adi bin Al Khiyar] berkata; telah telah mengabarkan kepadaku [dua orang yang telah menemui Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam pada waktu haji wada'] sementara beliau sedang membagikan zakat,

mereka berdua meminta kepada beliau sebagian dari zakat tersebut, lalu beliau mengangkat pandangannya kepada Kami lalu menundukkannya dan beliau melihat Kami adalah orang yang kuat, lalu beliau berkata: "Kalau kalian berdua menginginkannya maka Kami akan memberikan kepada kalian berdua, dan tidak ada bagian dalam zakat tersebut bagi orang yang kaya dan orang yang mampu untuk bekerja

Ubeydullah b. Adiyy b. el-Hıyâr'dan rivayet edildiğine göre şöyle demiştir: İki adam bana bildirdiklerine göre, Veda haccında zekât taksim ederken Peygamber (s.a.v.)'e gelmişler ve o zekâttan kendileri de istemişler. (O iki adam dedi ki:) Bunun üzerine Resûlullah (s.a.v.) gözlerini kaldırıp bize baktı ve indirdi, bizi güçlü-kuvvetli gördü: “Dilerseniz size de veririm. Ancak zengin ile kazanabildi güçlünün bunda hakkı yoktur," buyurdu

What it means

Two men came to the Prophet (ﷺ) during the Farewell Pilgrimage while he was distributing charity, and they asked him to give them some of it. The Prophet (ﷺ) repeatedly looked at them to assess their situation and determine whether they were eligible for charity or not.

He saw that they were two strong men and said: If you wish, I will give you from the charity, but there is no share in it for one who possesses sufficient wealth, nor for those who are capable of striving and earning money, even if they do not currently possess wealth that would classify them as rich.

What it teaches

  • It is prohibited for a wealthy person or a capable earner to ask for charity.
  • The basic rule regarding someone whose financial status is unknown is that he is considered poor and eligible for charity.
  • Mere physical strength does not automatically preclude eligibility for charity; rather, it must be coupled with the actual ability to earn a livelihood.
  • One who is capable of earning enough to suffice himself is not permitted to take from the obligatory charity (Zakah), because he is self-sufficient through his earnings, just as the wealthy person is self-sufficient through his wealth.
  • The great Prophetic education of the Muslim personality is in self-respect, and in giving—not in taking, begging, and laziness.
