Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) to collect Zakat. When he returned, he informed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that Sayyiduna Ibn Jameel, Sayyiduna Khalid bin Walid, and the uncle of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Abbas, had not paid Zakat. (Upon hearing this) the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Ibn Jameel did not refuse except because he was previously in hardship, then Allah Almighty made him prosperous. As for you, you are being unfair to Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him); he has dedicated his armors and (all his war equipment) in the way of Allah Almighty. And as for the matter of Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), the Zakat for his share, rather double of it, is upon me. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do you not know that a man’s uncle is like his father?
