Yahya related to me from Malik that he heard that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Sadaqa to the family of Muhammad is not halal. It is only people's impurities".
The Prophet's words remind us that we must always be mindful when giving charity, as it can easily become a form of bribery or corruption if done with wrong intentions. We must ensure that our donations are given out fairly and without any ulterior motives behind them. Furthermore, this hadith serves as an example for all Muslims on how they should conduct themselves when dealing with money matters; they must always remember to put their trust in Allah first before anything else.
