Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that Hasan bin 'Ali took one of the dates of the sadaqa and put it in his mouth, whereupon the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Leave it, leave it, throw it; don't you know that we do not eat the sadaqah?

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Shu'bahh with the same chain of transmitters (and the words of the Holy Prophet) are: "Sadaqa is not permissible for us."

This very hadith has been narrated on the authority of Sbu'ba with the same chain of transmitters.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: I go back to my family and I find a date lying on my bed. I then take it up to eat it, but then I throw it away fearing that it may be a Sadaqa.

Out of so many ahadith which Hammam bin Munabbih narrated on the authority of Abu Hurairah (RA) from the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) one is this that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: I go back to my family and I find a date lying on my bed or in my house, and I take it up to eat it, but then I throw it away fearing that it may be a Sadaqa or from Sadaqa.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) found a date in the street and said: If it were not of sadaqa I would have eaten it.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) found a date lying on the path and said: If it were not out of Sadaqa, I would have eaten it.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) found a date and said: Were it not (that I fear) it may be part of sadaqah, I would have eaten it.

'Abdul Muttalib bin Rabi'a bin al-Harith reported that Rabi'a bin al-Harith and Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib gathered together and said: By Allah, if we had sent these two young boys (i. e. I and Fadl bin 'Abbas) to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and they had spoken to him, he would have appointed them (as the collectors) of these sadaqat; and they would (collect them) and pay (to the Holy Prophet) as other people (collectors) paid and would get a share as other people got it. As they were talking about it there came 'Ali bin Abu Talib and stood before them, and they made a mention of it to him. 'Ali bin Abu Talib said: Don't do that; by Allah he (the Holy Prophet) would not do that (would not accept your request). Rabi'a bin Harith turned to him and said: By Allah, you are not doing so but out of jealousy that you nurse against us. By Allah, you became the son-in-law of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) but we felt no jealousy against you (for this great privilege of yours). 'Ali then said: Send them (if you like). They set out and 'Ali lay on the bed. When the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) offered the noon prayer we went ahead of him to his apartment and stood near it till he came out. He took hold of our ears (out of love and affection) and then said: Give out what you have kept in your hearts. He then entered (the apartment) and we also went in and he (the Holy Prophet) was on that day (in the house of) Zainab bin jahsh. He urged each (of us) to speak. Then one of us thus spoke: Messenger of Allah, you are the best of humanity and the best to cement the ties of blood-relations. We have reached the-marriageable age. We have come (to you) so that you may appoint us (as collectors) of these sadaqat, and we would pay you just as the people (other collectors) pay you, and get our share as others get it. He (the Holy Prophet) kept silence for a long time till we wished that we should speak with him (again), and Zainab pointed to us from behind the curtain not to talk (any more). He (the Holy Prophet) said; It does not become the family of Muhammad (to accept) sadaqat for they are the impurities of people. You call to me Mahmiya (and he was in charge of khums, i. e, of the one-fifth part that goes to the treasury out of the spoils of war), and Naufal bin Harith bin 'Abdul Muttalib. They both came to him, and he (the Holy Prophet) said to Mahmiya: Marry your daughter to this young man (i. e. Fadl bin 'Abbas), and he married her to him. And he said to Naufal bin Harith (RA): Marry your daughter to this young man (i e. 'Abdul Muttalib bin Rabi'a, the narrator of this hadith) and he married her to me, and he said to Mahmiya: Pay so much mahr on behalf of both of them from this khums. Zuhri, however. said: He did not determine (the amount of mahr).

Rabi'a bin Harith bin 'Abdul Muttalib and Abbas bin 'Abdul Muttalib said to Abdul Muttalib bin Rabi'a and Fadl bin Ibn Abbas (RA): Go to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) , and the rest of the hadith is the same (but with this addition): "'Ali spread his cloak and then lay down on it and said: I am the father of Hasan, and I am the chief. By Allah, I would not move from my place till your sons come back to you with the reply to that for which you sent them to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . And he then also said: Verily these sadaqat are the impurities of people, and they are not permissible for Muhammad ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) , and for the family of Muhammad. And he also said: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) also said to me: Call Mahmiya bin Jaz', and he was person from Banu Asad and the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) had apointed him as a collector of khums.
