Obligatory Charity Tax (Zakat) - كتاب الزكاة

حدثنا محمد بن يوسف، حدثنا إسرائيل، حدثنا أبو الجويرية، أن معن بن يزيد رضى الله عنه حدثه قال بايعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أنا وأبي وجدي وخطب على فأنكحني وخاصمت إليه و كان أبي يزيد أخرج دنانير يتصدق بها فوضعها عند رجل في المسجد، فجئت فأخذتها فأتيته بها فقال والله ما إياك أردت‏.‏ فخاصمته إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال ‏"‏ لك ما نويت يا يزيد، ولك ما أخذت يا معن ‏"‏‏.‏

Narrated Ma'n bin Yazid: My grandfather, my father and I gave the pledge of allegiance to Allah's Apostle. The Prophet got me engaged and then got me married. One day I went to the Prophet with a complaint. My father Yazid had taken some gold coins for charity and kept them with a man in the mosque (to give them to the poor) But I went and took them and brought them to him (my father). My father said, "By Allah! I did not intend to give them to you. " I took (the case) to Allah's Apostle . On that Allah's Apostle said, "O Yazid! You will be rewarded for what you intended. O Man! Whatever you have taken is yours."
