English translation
1630. Ziyād bin Al-Hārīth Aš-Šudā’ī narrated: “I came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and gave him my pledge of allegiance...” and he continued narrating a lengthy narration, until he said: “A man came to him, and said: ‘Give me some charity.’ So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ told him: ‘Allāh was not satisfied with the ruling of a Prophet or anyone other than Himself regarding charity, so He Himself ruled in this regard, and divided (the recipients of charity) into eight categories. So if you are in one of those categories, I will give you your right.’” (Da’if)
