Hazrat Sharik bin Namla narrates that Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) sent me to collect charity and zakat, and my brother also accompanied me. The narrator says that I made my brother ride on a camel. I said, "If Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) permits, then it is fine; otherwise, it is from my own wealth." When I returned, I told Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) about my brother. He said: "You also have a share in it."

It is narrated from Hazrat Salim that Hazrat Umar sent Hazrat Aslam with the zakat camels towards the place of Huma. He says that when I was about to return, he (Umar) said, "Present them before me." I presented them in such a state that my luggage was on one of the she-camels. He (Umar), in anger, said, "May your mother be bereft of you! I intended that through this she-camel, the households of the Muslims would be sustained, and you loaded your own luggage on her. Was there not a camel that urinates a lot, or a she-camel that gives little milk (for this purpose)?"

Hazrat Abu Hurairah says that there is no charity (zakat) on slaves except for the slave whom you (alone) own.
