Charity for Descendents of al-Hashim and the People of Their Household (Servants) and Compensation to Them

2ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ وَأَبِي بَصِيرٍ وَزُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ وَأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالا قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) إِنَّ الصَّدَقَةَ أَوْسَاخُ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ وَإِنَّ الله قَدْ حَرَّمَ عَلَيَّ مِنْهَا وَمِنْ غَيْرِهَا مَا قَدْ حَرَّمَهُ وَإِنَّ الصَّدَقَةَ لا تَحِلُّ لِبَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَا وَالله لَوْ قَدْ قُمْتُ عَلَى بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُ بِحَلْقَتِهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمْ أَنِّي لا أُوثِرُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَارْضَوْا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ بِمَا رَضِيَ الله وَرَسُولُهُ لَكُمْ قَالُوا قَدْ رَضِينَا.
2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father, from Hammad, from Hariz, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, abu Basir and Zurarah who have said the following: “Abu Ja’far and abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, have said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘Charity is filth of the hands of people. Allah has prohibited me to accept it and certain other things for my own use. Charity is not lawful for the children of ‘Abd al-Muttalib.’ He then said, ‘By Allah, when I will stand at the door of Paradise and get hold of its handle, you must know that I will not give preference to others before you. Thus, you should be happy with what Allah and His Messenger have decided for you.’ They (children of ‘Abd al-Muttalib) then said, ‘We are happy with your decision.’”
