It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once sent Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) to collect Zakat. Someone submitted in the presence of the Prophet that Ibn Jameel, Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed (may Allah be pleased with him), and the Prophet’s uncle Hazrat Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) have not paid Zakat. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“What displeases Ibn Jameel is this very thing—that he was once needy, then Allah granted him wealth (and now he does not pay Zakat). As for Khalid, you are wronging him, for he has dedicated even his armors in the path of Allah. As for Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), he is my responsibility.”Then he said:“Do you not know that a man’s uncle is in the position of his father?”
