It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man from Banu Tamim came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I am a very wealthy man, with family and relatives. Tell me how I should spend and on what I should spend?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Give the zakat of your wealth, for that will purify your wealth. Maintain ties with your close relatives. Give the needy, neighbors, and the poor their due rights, and do not be extravagant." He said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Is this sufficient for me? When I hand over the zakat of my wealth to your envoy, will I be absolved in the sight of Allah and His Messenger?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Yes! When you give the zakat to my envoy, you have fulfilled your obligation, and you will receive its reward, and the sin will be upon the one who changes it."
