Sahih al-Bukhari 1468 (Book 24, Hadith 70) #1409
Paying Zakat According to Islamic Teachings

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) ordering someone to collect Zakat and how he responded when some people refused to pay it.

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger (pbuh) ordered (a person) to collect Zakat, and that person returned and told him that Ibn Jamil, Khalid bin Al-Walid, and 'Abbas bin 'Abdul Muttalib had refused to give Zakat". The Prophet said, "What made Ibn Jamil refuse to give Zakat though he was a poor man, and was made wealthy by Allah and His Apostle ? But you are unfair in asking Zakat from Khalid as he is keeping his armor for Allah's Cause (for Jihad). As for 'Abbas bin 'Abdul Muttalib, he is the uncle of Allah's Apostle (pbuh) and Zakat is compulsory on him and he should pay it double".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَقِيلَ مَنَعَ ابْنُ جَمِيلٍ وَخَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ وَعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏ "‏ مَا يَنْقِمُ ابْنُ جَمِيلٍ إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ كَانَ فَقِيرًا فَأَغْنَاهُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، وَأَمَّا خَالِدٌ فَإِنَّكُمْ تَظْلِمُونَ خَالِدًا، قَدِ احْتَبَسَ أَدْرَاعَهُ وَأَعْتُدَهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، وَأَمَّا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَعَمُّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَهْىَ عَلَيْهِ صَدَقَةٌ وَمِثْلُهَا مَعَهَا ‏"‏‏.‏ تَابَعَهُ ابْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ‏.‏ وَقَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ هِيَ عَلَيْهِ وَمِثْلُهَا مَعَهَا‏.‏ وَقَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ حُدِّثْتُ عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ بِمِثْلِهِ‏.‏

Pay your due share in charity as prescribed by Islam even if you are not financially well off or have other commitments such as jihad or family ties with prophets/messengers of God .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of paying zakat according to Islamic teachings. The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) ordered someone to collect zakat from people and when some refused he responded in different ways depending on their circumstances. For example Ibn Jamil was a poor man who was made wealthy by Allah and His Apostle so the Prophet asked why he wasn't paying zakat while Khalid bin Al-Walid was keeping his armor for Jihad so the Prophet said that it was unfair for him to ask him for zakat. As for 'Abbas bin 'Abdul Muttalib who is the uncle of Allah's Apostle then zakat is compulsory on him and he should pay it double as a sign of respect towards his nephew. This hadith teaches us that we should always be willing to give our due share in charity as prescribed by Islam even if we are not financially well off or have other commitments such as jihad or family ties with prophets or messengers of God.
