Sayyiduna Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) to collect zakat, and during this, there was some dispute with Sayyiduna ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him). So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Do you not know that a man’s uncle is in the place of his father? Sayyiduna ‘Abbas has already given us the zakat of this year in advance last year.”
