حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَشُجَاعُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، جَمِيعًا عَنِ ابْنِ عُلَيَّةَ، قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو حَيَّانَ، حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ

قَالَ انْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا وَحُصَيْنُ بْنُ سَبْرَةَ وَعُمَرُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ إِلَى زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ فَلَمَّا جَلَسْنَا إِلَيْهِ قَالَ لَهُ حُصَيْنٌ لَقَدْ لَقِيتَ يَا زَيْدُ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا رَأَيْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَسَمِعْتَ حَدِيثَهُ وَغَزَوْتَ مَعَهُ وَصَلَّيْتَ خَلْفَهُ لَقَدْ لَقِيتَ يَا زَيْدُ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا حَدِّثْنَا يَا زَيْدُ مَا سَمِعْتَ: مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ (قَالَ) يَا ابْنَ أَخِي وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ كَبِرَتْ سِنِّي وَقَدُمَ عَهْدِي وَنَسِيتُ بَعْضَ الَّذِي كُنْتُ أَعِي مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَمَا حَدَّثْتُكُمْ فَاقْبَلُوا وَمَا لَا فَلَا تُكَلِّفُونِيهِ.

ثُمَّ قَالَ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا فِينَا خَطِيبًا بِمَاءٍ يُدْعَى خُمًّا بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَوَعَظَ وَذَكَّرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَمَّا بَعْدُ أَلَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ فَإِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ رَسُولُ رَبِّي فَأُجِيبَ وَأَنَا تَارِكٌ فِيكُمْ ثَقَلَيْنِ أَوَّلُهُمَا كِتَابُ اللَّهِ فِيهِ الْهُدَى وَالنُّورُ فَخُذُوا بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَاسْتَمْسِكُوا بِهِ».

فَحَثَّ عَلَى كِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَرَغَّبَ فِيهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ: «وَأَهْلُ بَيْتِي أُذَكِّرُكُمُ اللَّهَ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي أُذَكِّرُكُمُ اللَّهَ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي أُذَكِّرُكُمُ اللَّهَ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي».

فَقَالَ لَهُ حُصَيْنٌ وَمَنْ أَهْلُ بَيْتِهِ يَا زَيْدُ أَلَيْسَ نِسَاؤُهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ قَالَ نِسَاؤُهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَلَكِنْ أَهْلُ بَيْتِهِ مَنْ حُرِمَ الصَّدَقَةَ بَعْدَهُ.

قَالَ وَمَنْ هُمْ قَالَ هُمْ آلُ عَلِيٍّ وَآلُ عَقِيلٍ وَآلُ جَعْفَرٍ وَآلُ عَبَّاسٍ. قَالَ: كُلُّ هَؤُلَاءِ حُرِمَ الصَّدَقَةَ قَالَ: نَعَمْ

I went along with Husain ibn Sabra and Umar ibn Muslim to Zayd ibn Arqam and, as we sat by his side, Husain said to him: Zaid. you have been able to acquire a great virtue that you saw the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) listened to his talk, fought by his side in (different) battles, offered prayer behind me. Zaid, you have in fact earned a great virtue.

Zaid, narrate to us what you heard from the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). He said: I have grown old and have almost spent my age and I have forgotten some of the things which I remembered in connection with the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), so accept whatever I narrate to you, and which I do not narrate do not compel me to do that.

He then said: One day the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) stood up to deliver sermon at a watering place known as Khumm situated between Mecca and Medina. He praised Allah, extolled Him and delivered the sermon and.

exhorted (us) and said: Now to our purpose. O people, I am a human being. I am about to receive a messenger (the angel of death) from my Lord and I, in response to Allah’s call, (would bid good-bye to you), but I am leaving among you two weighty things: the one being the Book of Allah in which there is right guidance and light, so hold fast to the Book of Allah and adhere to it.

He exhorted (us) (to hold fast) to the Book of Allah and then said: The second are the members of my household I remind you (of your duties) to the members of my family.

He (Husain) said to Zaid: Who are the members of his household? Aren’t his wives the members of his family? Thereupon he said: His wives are the members of his family (but here) the members of his family are those for whom acceptance of Zakat is forbidden.

And he said: Who are they? Thereupon he said: Ali and the offspring of Ali, Aqil and the offspring of Aqil and the offspring of Jafar and the offspring of Abbas. Husain said: These are those for whom the acceptance of Zakat is forbidden. Zaid said: Yes.

কুতায়বাহ ইবনু সাঈদ (রহঃ) ..... ইবনু সাইদী আল মালিকী (রহঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, “উমর (রাযিঃ) আমাকে যাকাত আদায়ের জন্য কর্মচারী হিসেবে নিয়োগ করলেন। অতঃপর আমি যখন এ কাজ সমাধা করলাম এবং আদায়কৃত সম্পদ তার কাছে দিলাম- তিনি আমাকে কিছু পারিশ্রমিক দেয়ার নির্দেশ দিলেন।

আমি বললাম, আমি এ কাজ শুধু আল্লাহর সন্তুষ্টির জন্য করেছি। সুতরাং আমার পারিশ্রমিক শুধু আল্লাহর কাছেই পাওয়ার আশা করি। তিনি (উমার) বললেন, আমি যা দিচ্ছি, নিয়ে নাও। আমিও একবার রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর সময় এ কাজ করেছি। তিনি আমাকে পারিশ্রমিক হিসেবে কিছু দিয়ে দিলেন তখন আমিও তাকে তোমার মত একই কথা বলেছিলাম।

রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম আমাকে বলেছিলেনঃ “যদি তোমার আবেদন ছাড়াই কেউ কোন কিছু দান করে তুমি তা গ্রহণ করবে এবং অপরকেও দান করবে।”

لیث نے بکیر سے ، انھوں نے بسر بن سعید سے اور انھوں نے ابن ساعدی مالکی سے روایت کی کہ انھوں نے کہا : مجھے حضرت عمر بن خطاب رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ نے صدقے ( کی وصولی ) کےلئے عامل مقرر کیا ، جب میں اس کام سے فارغ ہوا اور انھیں ( وصول کردہ ) مال لا کر ادا کردیا ، تو انھوں نے مجھے کام کی اجرت دینے کا حکم دیا ۔

میں نے عرض کی : میں نے تو یہ کام محض اللہ کی ( رضا کی ) خاطر کیا ہے اور میرا اجر اللہ نے دینا ہے ۔ تو انھوں نے کہا : جو تمھیں دیا جائے اسے لے لو کیونکہ میں نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے عہد مبارک میں کام کیا تھا ، آپ نے مجھے میرے کام کی مزدوری دی تو میں نے بھی تمہاری جیسی بات کہی تو مجھے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا : " جب تمھیں تمہارے مانگے بغیر کوئی چیز دی جائے تو کھاؤ اور صدقہ کرو ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Qutaibah bin Sa'id] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Laits] dari [Bukair] dari [Busr bin Sa'id] dari [Ibnu As Sa'idi Al Maliki] bahwa ia berkata; [Umar bin Al Khaththab] pernah menugaskanku sebagai amil zakat. Setelah tugas itu selesai kulaksanakan, dan hasil zakat yang kukumpulkan telah kuserahkan kepadanya, maka Umar menyuruhku mengambil bagian amil untukku.

Lalu jawabku, "Aku bekerja karena Allah, karena itu upahku pun kuserahkan kepada Allah." Umar berkata, "Ambillah apa yang diberikan kepadamu itu, sesungguhnya aku pernah pula bertugas pada masa Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam sebagai amil zakat.

Aku menolak pemberian itu seraya menjawab seperti jawabanmu pula. Maka Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam pun bersabda: 'Apabila kamu diberi orang suatu pemberian tanpa kamu minta, makanlah atau sedekahkanlah.'" Dan telah menceritakan kepadaku [Harun bin Sa'id Al Aili] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ibnu Wahb] telah mengabarkan kepadaku [Amru bin Harits] dari [Bukair bin Al Asyajj] dari [Busyr bin Sa'id] dari [Ibnu Sa'di] bahwa ia berkata; [Umar bin Khaththab] pernah menugaskanku sebagai amil zakat. Yakni sebagaimana hadits Laits

Bize Kuteybetü'bnü Sâîd rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize Leys, Bükeyr'den, o da Büsr b. Saîd'den, o da İbni Sâidî el-Mâlikî' den naklen rivayet etti ki, İbni Sâid'i şöyle demiş. Ömerü'bnu'I-Hattâb (Radiyallahu anh) beni zekât toplamaya memur etti. Bu işi bitirip zekâtları kendisine teslim edince bana ücret verilmesini emretti. (Kendisine) : Ben ancak Allah için vazife gördüm.

Ecrim de Allah'a aittir; dedim. Bunun üzerine Ömer (Radiyallahu anh) Sana verileni al çünkü ben de Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) devrinde bu vazifeyi gördüm; Bana ücret verdi. Ben de senin dediğin gibi söyledim, fakat Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) bana: «İstemediğin halde sana bir şey verilirse onu ye ve tasaddûk et buyurdular.» dedi

What it means

Yazīd ibn Hayyān reported: I went along with Husayn ibn Sabrah and ‘Amr ibn Muslim to Zayd ibn Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him). As we were sitting with him, Husayn said to him: O Zayd, you have acquired a great virtue by seeing the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) listening to his words directly, fighting by his side, and praying behind him.

You have, in fact, earned a great virtue. Could you narrate to us what you heard from the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)? He said: I have grown old, and it has been long. I have forgotten some of the narrations I memorized from Allah's Messenger (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him); so accept whatever I narrate to you, and what I do not narrate, do not compel me to narrate. He then said: One day, the Messenger (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) stood up to deliver a sermon in a valley that had a water known as Khumm located between Makkah and Madīnah.

He praised Allah, extolled Him, and reminded us of observing the right of servitude to Allah, which we were distracted from by our preoccupation with our families and dependents. He (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) then said: O people! I am only a human being, and I am about to die, but I am leaving with you two great and significant things: the first is the Qur'an, in which there is right guidance and light.

So, follow it and force yourselves to adhere to it. He urged us to follow the Qur'an and adhere to its rope. Afterwards, he prompted us to be kind to his household, to obey Allah in them and observe their rights.

He said that twice. Husayn asked Zayd about his household, and whether or not his wives were members of his family. Zayd said that his wives were members of his family as they lived with him and were under his responsibility. He commanded us to respect and honor them. However, generally speaking, his household are the ones for whom obligatory charity is forbidden, and those were the household of ‘Ali, ‘Aqīl, Ja‘far, and ‘Abbās.

All of these are forbidden from taking any of the obligatory charity (i.e. Zakah, vows, and expiation). In another narration: Indeed, I am leaving behind two great matters: one of them is the Book of Allah. It is His covenant and the only means to His pleasure and mercy. It is His light by which He guides. So whoever follows it through observing its commandments and refraining from its prohibitions is following guidance, which is the opposite of error, and whoever turns away from its commandments and prohibitions is on error.
