Home Hadith Hadith 4461
Something was sent to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he distributed it amongst four (men) and said, "I want to attract
their hearts,(to Islam thereby)," A man said (to the Prophet (ﷺ) ), "You have not done justice." Thereupon
the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "There will emerge from the offspring of this (man) some people who will renounce
the religion."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 189
← Previous Hadith
We entered upon Ibn `Abbas and he said "Are you not astonished at Ibn Az-Zubair's assuming the
caliphate?" I said (to myself), "I will support him and speak of his good traits as I did not do even for
Abu Bakr and `Umar though they were more entitled to receive al I good than he was." I said "He (i.e
Ibn Az-Zubair) is the son of the aunt of the Prophet (ﷺ) and the son of AzZubair, and the grandson of Abu
Bakr and the son of Khadija's brother, and the son of `Aisha's sister." Nevertheless, he considers
himself to be superior to me and does not want me to be one of his friends. So I said, "I never
expected that he would refuse my offer to support him, and I don't think he intends to do me any good,
therefore, if my cousins should inevitably be my rulers, it will be better for me to be ruled by them
than by some others."

When we were ordered to give alms, we began to work as porters (to earn something we could give in
charity). Abu `Aqil came with one half of a Sa` (special measure for food grains) and another person
brought more than he did. So the hypocrites said, "Allah is not in need of the alms of this (i.e. Abu `Aqil);
and this other person did not give alms but for showing off." Then Allah revealed:--
'Those who criticize such of the Believers who give charity voluntarily and those who could not find
to give in charity except what is available to them.' (9.79)
