وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنَا سَالِمٌ أَبُو النَّضْرِ، عَنْ شَيْخٍ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ، قَالَ:

جَلَسَ إِلَيَّ وَأَنَا فِي مَسْجِدِ الْبَصْرَةِ زَمَنَ الْحَجَّاجِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ الثَّقَفِيِّ وَفِي يَدِهِ عَصًا وَصَحِيفَةٌ يَحْمِلُهَا فِي يَدِهِ، فَقَالَ: يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ، تَرَى هَذَا الْكِتَابَ نَافِعِي عِنْدَ صَاحِبِكُمْ هَذَا ؟ قُلْتُ: وَمَا هَذَا الْكِتَابُ ؟ قَالَ: كِتَابٌ كَتَبَهُ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ. قُلْتُ: وَكَيْفَ كَتَبَ لَكُمْ ؟ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ مَعَ أَبِي... فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ... فَقَالَ أَبِي - يَعْنِي لِطَلْحَةَ -: خُذْ لَنَا كِتَابًا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ لَا يُتَعَدَّى عَلَيْنَا فِي صَدَقَاتِنَا، فَقَالَ: ذَلِكَ لِكُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ. فَقُلْنَا: وَإِنْ كَانَ، فَمَشَى بِنَا، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ هَذَيْنِ اخْتَارَا أَنْ تَكْتُبَ لَهُمَا أَنْ لَا يُتَعَدَّى عَلَيْهِمَا فِي صَدَقَاتِهِمَا، فَقَالَ: ذَلِكَ لِكُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّهُمَا اخْتَارَا أَنْ يَكُونَ عِنْدَهُمَا مِنْكَ كِتَابٌ، فَكَتَبَ لَنَا هَذَا الْكِتَابَ. فَتَرَاهُ نَافِعِي عِنْدَ صَاحِبِكُمْ هَذَا ؟ فَقَدْ وَاللهِ تُعُدِّيَ عَلَيْنَا فِي صَدَقَاتِنَا، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: لَا أَظُنُّ وَاللهِ إِذًا

✧ He sat with me while I was in the mosque of Basra in the time of al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf al-Thaqafi, holding a staff and a document in his hand. He said: 'O Abdullah, do you think this document will benefit me with this governor of yours?' I said: 'What is this document?' He said: 'A document that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote for us.' I said: 'How did he write it for you?' He said: 'I entered Madinah with my father...' and he mentioned the hadith... 'My father said to Talha: Get us a document from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stating that we will not be transgressed against in our zakat. He said: That is for every Muslim. We said: Even so. So he walked with us and said: O Messenger of Allah, these two have chosen that you write for them that they will not be transgressed against in their zakat. He said: That is for every Muslim. He said: O Messenger of Allah, they have chosen to have a document from you. So he wrote this document for us. Do you think it will benefit me with this governor of yours? For by Allah, we have been transgressed against in our zakat.' He said: 'I said: I do not think so, by Allah.'
