إِنَّ أُنَاساً مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ أَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَسَأَلُوهُ أَنْ يَسْتَعْمِلَهُمْ عَلَى صَدَقَاتِ الْمَوَاشِي وَ قَالُوا يَكُونُ لَنَا هَذَا السَّهْمُ الَّذِي جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ لِلْعَامِلِينَ عَلَيْهَا فَنَحْنُ أَوْلَى بِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) يَا بَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ إِنَّ الصَّدَقَةَ لَا تَحِلُّ لِي وَ لَا لَكُمْ وَ لَكِنِّي قَدْ وُعِدْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ وُعِدَهَا ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَمَا ظَنُّكُمْ يَا بَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ إِذَا أَخَذْتُ بِحَلْقَةِ بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ أَ تَرَوْنِي مُؤْثِراً عَلَيْكُمْ غَيْرَكُمْ .
Translation
Ahmad Bin Idrees, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, altogether from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Ays Bin Al Qasim, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘A group of people from the Clan of Hashim came over to Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>. So they asked him<sup>saww</sup> that he<sup>saww</sup> should utilise them upon the (collection of the) charities of the livestock, and they said, ‘Can there happen to be for us this portion which Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has Made it to be for the workers over it, so we are the closes with it’. So Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘O sons of Abdul Muttalib<sup>as</sup>! The charity is neither Permissible for me, nor for you all, but I<sup>saww</sup> have been Promised the intercession’. Then Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘By Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has been Promised it. So what is your thinking, O sons of Abdul Muttalib<sup>asws</sup>! When I<sup>asws</sup> grab the ring of the door of the Paradise, do you see me<sup>asws</sup> giving preference to others over you all?’
