Sunan Abi Dawud 3049 (Book 20, Hadith 122) #23339
Taking Sadaqah from Muslims

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) taught a man of Banu Taghlib about Islam and how to take sadaqah from his people who had become Muslim. He also clarified that tithes are to be levied on Christians and Jews, not Muslims.

Narrated A man of Banu Taghlib: Harb ibn Ubaydullah ibn Umayr ath-Thaqafi told on the authority of his grandfather, a man of Banu Taghlib: I came to the Prophet , embraced Islam, and he taught me Islam. He also taught me how I should take sadaqah from my people who had become Muslim. I then returned to him and said: Messenger of Allah, I remembered whatever you taught me except the sadaqah. Should I levy tithe on them? He replied: No, tithes are to be levied on Christians and Jews.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْبَزَّازُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ السَّلاَمِ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ حَرْبِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ الثَّقَفِيِّ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، - رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي تَغْلِبَ - قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ فَأَسْلَمْتُ وَعَلَّمَنِي الإِسْلاَمَ وَعَلَّمَنِي كَيْفَ آخُذُ الصَّدَقَةَ مِنْ قَوْمِي مِمَّنْ أَسْلَمَ ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كُلُّ مَا عَلَّمْتَنِي قَدْ حَفِظْتُهُ إِلاَّ الصَّدَقَةَ أَفَأُعَشِّرُهُمْ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ إِنَّمَا الْعُشُورُ عَلَى النَّصَارَى وَالْيَهُودِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about taking sadaqah from Muslims. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught a man of Banu Taghlib about Islam and how to take sadaqah from his people who had become Muslim. Sadaqah is an Arabic term for charity or donation given by one person to another out of kindness or generosity, usually in the form of money or food. It is an important part of Islamic culture as it helps those in need and encourages good deeds among believers. The Prophet ﷺ also clarified that tithes are to be levied on Christians and Jews, not Muslims; this means that taxes should only be taken from non-Muslims living in Islamic countries according to Islamic law. This hadith teaches us the importance of giving charity as well as respecting other religions by not levying taxes on them unnecessarily.
