حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ: أَنَّهُ هُوَ وَالْفَضْلُ أَتَيَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِيُزَوِّجَهُمَا وَيَسْتَعْمِلَهُمَا عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ، فَيُصِيبَانِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَةَ إِنَّمَا هِيَ أَوْسَاخُ النَّاسِ، وَإِنَّهَا لَا تَحِلُّ لِمُحَمَّدٍ وَلَا لِآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ". ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِمَحْمِيَةَ الزُّبَيْدِيِّ: " زَوِّجِ الْفَضْلَ " وَقَالَ لِنَوْفَلِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ: " زَوِّجْ عَبْدَ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ " وَقَالَ لِمَحْمِيَةَ بْنِ جَزْءٍ الزُّبَيْدِيِّ - وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْتَعْمِلُهُ عَلَى الْأَخْمَاسِ - فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصْدِقُ عَنْهُمَا مِنَ الْخُمُسِ شَيْئًا،، ، لَمْ يُسَمِّهِ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ. وَفِي أَوَّلِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ: أَنَّ عَلِيًّا لَقِيَهُمَا فَقَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَسْتَعْمِلُكُمَا. فَقَالَا: هَذَا حَسَدُكَ. فَقَالَ: أَنَا أَبُو حَسَنِ الْقَوْمِ (١) ، لَا أَبْرَحُ حَتَّى أَنْظُرَ مَا يَرُدُّ عَلَيْكُمَا. فَلَمَّا كَلَّمَاهُ سَكَتَ، فَجَعَلَتْ زَيْنَبُ تُلَوِّحُ بِثَوْبِهَا: أَنَّهُ فِي حَاجَتِكُمَا (٢)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abdul Muttalib bin Rabee’ah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he and Fadl presented themselves before the Prophet (ﷺ) so that the Prophet (ﷺ) would arrange their marriages and appoint them to collect zakat so that they too might receive something. The Prophet (ﷺ) said that these charities are the impurities of people’s wealth, therefore they are not lawful for Muhammad (ﷺ) and the family of Muhammad (ﷺ). Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said to Mahmiya Zubaidi to marry his daughter to Fadl, and to Nafool bin Harith to marry his daughter to Abdul Muttalib bin Rabee’ah. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said to Mahmiya, whom he had appointed over the khums, to give them enough money from the khums so that they could pay the dowry. And at the beginning of this hadith, it is also detailed that Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) met both of them and said that the Prophet (ﷺ) would never appoint them to collect zakat. They replied that this was his jealousy. He said, “I am Abu Hasan, my opinion is preferred, and I will not return until I see what answer the Prophet (ﷺ) gives you.” So when both of them spoke to the Prophet (ﷺ), the Prophet (ﷺ) remained silent, and Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her) began to shake her garment, signaling that the Prophet (ﷺ) would fulfill their request.
