Chapter on What Is Lawful for Banu Hashim and Unlawful from Zakat

وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ وَ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالاَ:» قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ:» إِنَّ اَلصَّدَقَةَ أَوْسَاخُ أَيْدِي اَلنَّاسِ وَ إِنَّ اَللَّهَ حَرَّمَ عَلَيَّ مِنْهَا وَ مِنْ غَيْرِهَا مَا قَدْ حَرَّمَهُ فَإِنَّ اَلصَّدَقَةَ لاَ تَحِلُّ لِبَنِي عَبْدِ اَلْمُطَّلِبِ« ثُمَّ قَالَ» أَمَا وَ اَللَّهِ لَوْ قَدْ قُمْتُ عَلَى بَابِ اَلْجَنَّةِ ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُ بِحَلْقَتِهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمْ أَنِّي لاَ أُوثِرُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَارْضَوْا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ بِمَا رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ لَكُمْ« قَالُوا رَضِينَا«.
And from him, from Ali ibn Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad, from Hariz, from Muhammad ibn Muslim and Zurarah, from Abu Ja’far عليه السلام, peace be upon him, and Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who both said: Imam عليه السلام said: “The Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family, said: ‘Indeed, charity is the impurities of the hands of the people, and indeed Allah سبحانه وتعالى has forbidden for me from it, and from other than it, what He عز وجل has forbidden. For charity is not lawful for Banu Abd al-Muttalib.” Then the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said: “Indeed, by Allah سبحانه وتعالى, if I were to stand at the gate of Paradise and then take hold of its ring, you would certainly know that I do not prefer others over you. So be pleased for yourselves with what Allah سبحانه وتعالى and His Messenger صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم are pleased with for you.” They (Banu Abd al-Muttalib) said: “We are pleased.”
