Hadith of Abd al-Muttalib ibn Rabi'ah ibn al-Harith ibn Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him)

حَدِيثُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ (١)، ١٧٥١٥ - حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ،، قَالَ: دَخَلَ الْعَبَّاسُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّا لَنَخْرُجُ فَنَرَى قُرَيْشًا تَحَدَّثُ، فَإِذَا رَأَوْنَا سَكَتُوا فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَدَرَّ عِرْقٌ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " وَاللهِ لَا يَدْخُلُ قَلْبَ امْرِئٍ إِيمَانٌ حَتَّى يُحِبَّكُمْ لِلَّهِ وَلِقَرَابَتِي " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Abdul Muttalib bin Rabee’ah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the service of the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! (ﷺ) When we leave our house, we see the Quraysh talking, but when they see us approaching, they become silent." Upon this, the vein on the Prophet’s (ﷺ) forehead between his two eyes swelled, and he said, "By Allah! Faith cannot enter a person’s heart until he loves you for the sake of Allah’s pleasure and because of my kinship."

حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، قَالَ: دَخَلَ الْعَبَّاسُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُغْضَبًا، فَقَالَ لَهُ: " مَا يُغْضِبُكَ؟ " قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا لَنَا وَلِقُرَيْشٍ، إِذَا تَلَاقَوْا بَيْنَهُمْ تَلَاقَوْا بِوُجُوهٍ مُبْشِرَةٍ، وَإِذَا لَقُونَا لَقُونَا بِغَيْرِ ذَلِكَ فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى احْمَرَّ وَجْهُهُ، وَحَتَّى اسْتَدَرَّ عِرْقٌ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ، وَكَانَ إِذَا غَضِبَ اسْتَدَرَّ، فَلَمَّا سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ - أَوْ قَالَ: وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ (١) -، لَا يَدْخُلُ قَلْبَ رَجُلٍ الْإِيمَانُ حَتَّى يُحِبَّكُمْ لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ "، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، مَنْ آذَى الْعَبَّاسَ، فَقَدْ آذَانِي، إِنَّمَا عَمُّ الرَّجُلِ صِنْوُ أَبِيهِ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Abdul Muttalib bin Rabee’ah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the service of the Prophet (ﷺ) in a state of anger and said, “O Messenger of Allah! (ﷺ) When we leave our house, we see the Quraysh talking, but when they see us approaching, they become silent.” Upon this, the vein on the forehead between the eyes of the Prophet (ﷺ) swelled, and he said, “By Allah! Faith cannot enter a person’s heart until he loves you for the sake of Allah’s pleasure and because of my kinship.” Then he said, “O people! Whoever hurts Abbas has hurt me, because a man’s uncle is in the place of his father.”

حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ، عَنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ قَالَ: أَتَى نَاسٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالُوا: إِنَّا نَسْمَعُ (١) مِنْ قَوْمِكَ حَتَّى يَقُولَ الْقَائِلُ مِنْهُمْ: إِنَّمَا مِثْلُ مُحَمَّدٍ مِثْلُ نَخْلَةٍ نَبَتَتْ فِي كِبَا - قَالَ حُسَيْنٌ: الْكِبَا: الْكُنَاسَةُ -. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، مَنْ أَنَا؟ ". قَالُوا: أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ. قَالَ: " أَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ - قَالَ: فَمَا سَمِعْنَاهُ قَطُّ يَنْتَمِي قَبْلَهَا - أَلَا إِنَّ اللهَ خَلَقَ خَلْقَهُ، فَجَعَلَنِي مِنْ خَيْرِ خَلْقِهِ، ثُمَّ فَرَّقَهُمْ فِرْقَتَيْنِ فَجَعَلَنِي مِنْ خَيْرِ الْفِرْقَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ جَعَلَهُمْ قَبَائِلَ فَجَعَلَنِي مِنْ خَيْرِهِمْ قَبِيلَةً، ثُمَّ جَعَلَهُمْ بُيُوتًا، فَجَعَلَنِي مِنْ خَيْرِهِمْ بَيْتًا، وَأَنَا خَيْرُكُمْ بَيْتًا وَخَيْرُكُمْ نَفْسًا " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Abdul Muttalib bin Rabee’ah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once some Ansari people came to the service of the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, “We hear many things from your people; they even say that the example of Muhammad (ﷺ) is like that of a tree that has grown in rubbish.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “O people! Who am I?” They said, “You are the Messenger of Allah.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “In terms of lineage, I am Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Abdul Muttalib. We had not seen the Prophet (ﷺ) attributing himself in this way before. When Allah Almighty created His creation, He placed me in the best of His creation. Then He divided them into two parts and placed me in the best part of them. Then He divided them into tribes and placed me in the best tribe. Then He divided them into families and placed me in the best family, and I am the best among you in terms of family and lineage.” Peace and blessings be upon him.

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)، ،

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.

حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، وَسَعْدٌ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيدِ اللهِ (١) بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ نَوْفَلِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، أَخْبَرَهُ: أَنَّهُ اجْتَمَعَ رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ وَعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، فَقَالَا: وَاللهِ لَوْ بَعَثْنَا هَذَيْنِ الْغُلَامَيْنِ - فَقَالَ لِي وَلِلْفَضْلِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ - إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمَّرَهُمَا عَلَى هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَاتِ، فَأَدَّيَا مَا يُؤَدِّي النَّاسُ، وَأَصَابَا مَا يُصِيبُ النَّاسُ مِنَ الْمَنْفَعَةِ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُمَا فِي ذَلِكَ، جَاءَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، فَقَالَ: مَاذَا تُرِيدَانِ؟ فَأَخْبَرَاهُ بِالَّذِي أَرَادَا، قَالَ: فَلَا تَفْعَلَا، فَوَاللهِ مَا هُوَ بِفَاعِلٍ، فَقَالَ: لِمَ تَصْنَعُ هَذَا؟ فَمَا هَذَا مِنْكَ إِلَّا نَفَاسَةٌ عَلَيْنَا، لَقَدْ صَحِبْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنِلْتَ صِهْرَهُ، فَمَا نَفِسْنَا ذَلِكَ عَلَيْكَ. قَالَ: فَقَالَ: أَنَا أَبُو حَسَنٍ أَرْسِلُوهُمَا. ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ. قَالَ: فَلَمَّا صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ، سَبَقْنَاهُ إِلَى الْحُجْرَةِ، فَقُمْنَا عِنْدَهَا حَتَّى مَرَّ بِنَا، فَأَخَذَ بِأَيْدِينَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " أَخْرِجَا مَا تُصَرِّرَانِ " وَدَخَلَ فَدَخَلْنَا مَعَهُ، وَهُوَ حِينَئِذٍ فِي بَيْتِ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ، قَالَ: فَكَلَّمْنَاهُ، فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، جِئْنَاكَ لِتُؤَمِّرَنَا عَلَى هَذِهِ، ، الصَّدَقَاتِ فَنُصِيبَ مَا يُصِيبُ النَّاسُ مِنَ الْمَنْفَعَةِ، وَنُؤَدِّي إِلَيْكَ مَا يُؤَدِّي النَّاسُ. قَالَ: فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى سَقْفِ الْبَيْتِ حَتَّى أَرَدْنَا أَنْ نُكَلِّمَهُ، قَالَ: فَأَشَارَتْ إِلَيْنَا زَيْنَبُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ حِجَابِهَا كَأَنَّهَا تَنْهَانَا عَنْ كَلَامِهِ، وَأَقْبَلَ فَقَالَ: " أَلَا إِنَّ الصَّدَقَةَ لَا تَنْبَغِي لِمُحَمَّدٍ وَلَا لِآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، إِنَّمَا هِيَ أَوْسَاخُ النَّاسِ. ادْعُوا لِي مَحْمِيَةَ بْنَ جَزْءٍ - وَكَانَ عَلَى الْعُشْرِ - وَأَبَا سُفْيَانَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ " فَأَتَيَا، فَقَالَ لِمَحْمِيَةَ: " أَصْدِقْ عَنْهُمَا مِنَ الْخُمُسِ " (١)،

It is narrated from Abdul Muttalib bin Rabee’ah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Mahmiya, whom the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had appointed over the khums, and Abu Sufyan bin Harith were called, and he said to them: Give him from the khums enough money so that he can pay the dowry. Once Rabee’ah bin Harith and Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib gathered and said that these two boys should be sent to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), so they called me and Fadl and said: Go to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), he will appoint you over the collection of zakat, fulfill the responsibility like other people and benefit from what people get. Meanwhile, Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) came and asked: What is your intention? They told him their intention. Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Do not do this. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) will never appoint you to collect zakat. They said: This is your jealousy. He said: I am Abu Hasan, my opinion is preferred, and I will not return until I see what answer the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) gives you. So when both of them spoke to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), he remained silent, and Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her) began to shake her garment, signaling that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would do your work. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: These charities are the impurities of people's wealth, so they are not lawful for Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and the family of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The previous hadith is also narrated from this second chain.

حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ:، ، حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نَوْفَلِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ (١) ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ: اجْتَمَعَ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ وَابْنُ رَبِيعَةَ (٢) بْنِ الْحَارِثِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ (٣)، ،

Yaqoub narrated to us, my father narrated to us from Muhammad ibn Ishaq who said: Az-Zuhri narrated to us from Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Nawfal ibn Al-Harith from Abdul-Muttalib ibn Rabi’ah ibn Al-Harith who said: Al-Abbas ibn Abdul-Muttalib and the son of Rabi’ah ibn Al-Harith gathered in the mosque, and he mentioned the hadith.
