2466. Abû Hurairah said: "Umar said: 'The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ enjoined Sadaqah and it was said that Ibn Jamîl, Khâlid bin Al-Walîd and 'Abbâs bin 'Abdul-Muttalib had withheld some. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: What is the matter with Ibn Jamîl? Was he not poor then Allâh made him rich? As for Khâlid bin Al-Walîd, you are being unfair to Khâlid, for he is saving his shields and weapons for the sake of Allâh. As for Al-'Abbâs bin 'Abdul-Muttalib, the paternal uncle of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, it is an obligatory charity for him and he has to pay as much again.'" (Sahîh)

Commentary
From some other narrations, the matter transpires that Allâh's Messenger ﷺ had already collected from 'Abbâs ﷺ two years' Zakâh in advance for some need of the country. He, therefore, offered this clarification; otherwise, how could 'Abbâs ﷺ refuse to give Zakâh? Some people of knowledge have taken this to mean that twice the normal amount of Zakâh would be taken from 'Abbâs ﷺ. But this interpretation does not appear to be supported.
