Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith 547 – Volume 2, Book 24

English

Volume 2, Book 24, Number 547:
Narrated Abu Huraira
Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) ordered (a person) to collect Zakat, and that person returned and told him
that Ibn Jamil, Khalid bin Al-Walid, and Abbas bin 'Abdul Muttalib had refused to give Zakat." The
Prophet said, "What made Ibn Jamll refuse to give Zakat though he was a poor man, and was made
wealthy by Allah and His Apostle ? But you are unfair in asking Zakat from Khalid as he is keeping
his armor for Allah's Cause (for Jihad). As for Abbas bin 'Abdul Muttalib, he is the uncle of Allah's
Apostle (p.b.u.h) and Zakat is compulsory on him and he should pay it double."
