English translation

1584. Ibn 'Abbās narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ sent Mu'ādḥ to Yemen, and said (to him): "You are about to go to a nation of the People of the Book, so invite them to testify to Lā ilāha illallāh and that I am the Messenger of Allāh; if they obey you in with this, then inform them that Allāh has commanded them (to perform) five prayers in every day and night. And if they obey you in this, then inform them that Allāh has obligated upon them (to pay) Sadaqah on their wealth; it is taken from their rich, and distributed to their poor. And if they obey you in this, then beware of taking their most prized possessions, and be cautious of the supplication of one who has been wronged, for there is no veil between it and Allāh." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

1584 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْمَكِّيُّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ صَيْفِيٍّ، عَنْ أَبِي مَعْبَدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَ مُعَاذًا إِلَى الْيَمَنِ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّكَ تَأْتِي قَوْمًا أَهْلَ كِتَابٍ، فَادْعُهُمْ إِلَى شَهَادَةِ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، فَإِنْ هُمْ أَطَاعُوكَ لِذَلِكَ، فَأَعْلِمْهُمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ افْتَرَضَ عَلَيْهِمْ خَمْسَ صَلَوَاتٍ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ، فَإِنْ هُمْ أَطَاعُوكَ لِذَلِكَ فَأَعْلِمْهُمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ افْتَرَضَ عَلَيْهِمْ صَدَقَةً فِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ، تُؤْخَذُ مِنْ أَغْنِيَائِهِمْ، وَتُرَدُّ عَلَى فُقَرَائِهِمْ، فَإِنْ هُمْ أَطَاعُوكَ لِذَلِكَ، فَإِيَّاكَ وَكَرَائِمَ أَمْوَالِهِمْ، وَاتَّقِ دَعْوَةَ الْمَظْلُومِ، فَإِنَّهَا لَيْسَ بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَ اللَّهِ حِجَابٌ»

Commentary

1. According to most jurists, Zakāh funds collected from Muslims of a region should be distributed among the Muslims of that very region. 2. Near relatives and neighbors have a greater right to receiving Zakāh funds. The funds should not be transferred to other cities unless there is some special reason to do so.
