Abu Rabiah binAl-Harith said to 'Abdul-Muttalib bin Rabi'ah bin Al-Harith and Al-Fadl bin 'Abbas bin 'Abdul-Muttalib:
Go to the Messenger of Allah and say to him: 'O Messenger of Allah, appoint us to collect the Sadaqat!' 'Ali bin Abi Talib came along when we were like that, and he said to them: The Messenger of Allah will not appoint any of you to collect the Sadaqah. ' 'Abdul-Muttalib said: So I went with Al-Fadl until we came to the Messenger of Allah and he said to us: This Zakah is the dirt of the people, and it is not permissible for Muhammad or for the family of Muhammad.
