Sunan an-Nasai 2444 (Book 23, Hadith 10) #17055
The Rights of Allah and Charity

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of giving charity and not refusing it, as it is one of the rights of Allah.

Bahz bin Hakim said: "My father told, me that my grandfather said: 'I heard the Prophet say: With regard to grazing camels, for every forty a Bint Labbun (a two-year old female camel). No differentiation is to be made between camels when calculating them. Whoever gives it seeking reward, he will be rewarded for it. Whoever refuses, we will take it, and half of his camels, as one of the rights of our Lord. And it is not permissible for the family of Muhammad to have any of them"'.
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ جَدِّي، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ فِي كُلِّ إِبِلٍ سَائِمَةٍ فِي كُلِّ أَرْبَعِينَ ابْنَةُ لَبُونٍ لاَ يُفَرَّقُ إِبِلٌ عَنْ حِسَابِهَا مَنْ أَعْطَاهَا مُؤْتَجِرًا فَلَهُ أَجْرُهَا وَمَنْ أَبَى فَإِنَّا آخِذُوهَا وَشَطْرَ إِبِلِهِ عَزْمَةٌ مِنْ عَزَمَاتِ رَبِّنَا لاَ يَحِلُّ لآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ مِنْهَا شَىْءٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of giving charity, or sadaqah, to those in need. It was narrated by Bahz bin Hakim who said that his father told him that his grandfather heard Prophet Muhammad say that for every forty camels, a two-year old female camel should be given as charity. He also said that whoever gives this charity will be rewarded for it and whoever refuses will have half their camels taken away from them as one of the rights due to Allah. Furthermore, he mentioned that it is not permissible for the family of Muhammad to take any part in this right due to their status. This hadith teaches us about how important it is to give charity and help those in need without expecting anything in return other than reward from Allah. It also shows us how generous Prophet Muhammad was with his own family by not allowing them any part in this right due to their status so they would not benefit from it more than others do.
