وَعَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ رضى الله عنه
«أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَ رَجُلًا عَلَى اَلصَّدَقَةِ مِنْ بَنِي مَخْزُومٍ، فَقَالَ لِأَبِي رَافِعٍ: اِصْحَبْنِي، فَإِنَّكَ تُصِيبُ مِنْهَا، قَالَ: حَتَّى آتِيَ اَلنَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَسْأَلَهُ. فَأَتَاهُ فَسَأَلَهُ، فَقَالَ: «مَوْلَى اَلْقَوْمِ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ، وَإِنَّا لَا تَحِلُّ لَنَا اَلصَّدَقَةُ»
To Abu Rafi, ‘Accompany me so that you may get a share of it.’ Abu Rafi, replied, ‘No! Not until I go to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and ask him’ He went to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and asked him, and the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) replied, “The client (slave) of a certain tribe are like (the members of the tribe) themselves and Zakah is not lawful for us.” Related by Ahmad, the three Imams, Ibn Khuzaimah and Ibn Hibban.
