Some people from ‘Uraina tribe came to Medina and its climate did not suit them, so Allah’s
Apostle (p.b.u.h) allowed them to go to the herd of camels (given as Zakat) and they drank their milk
and urine (as medicine) but they killed the shepherd and drove away all the camels. So Allah’s
Apostle sent (men) in their pursuit to catch them, and they were brought, and he had their hands
and feet cut, and their eyes were branded with heated pieces of iron and they were left in the Harra

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.”
Volume 2, Book 24, Number 548:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:

again asked him for (something) and he again gave them. And then they asked him and he gave
them again till all that was with him finished. And then he said “If I had anything. I would not keep it
away from you. (Remember) Whoever abstains from asking others, Allah will make him contented,
and whoever tries to make himself self-sufficient, Allah will make him self-sufficient. And whoever
remains patient, Allah will make him patient. Nobody can be given a blessing better and greater than
patience.”

living) rather than to ask a person for something and that person may give him or not.”

Fire) because of that, rather than to ask the people who may give him or not.”
