قُلْتُ لَهُ أَ تَحِلُّ الصَّدَقَةُ لِبَنِي هَاشِمٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا تِلْكَ الصَّدَقَةُ الْوَاجِبَةُ عَلَى النَّاسِ لَا تَحِلُّ لَنَا فَأَمَّا غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ فَلَيْسَ بِهِ بَأْسٌ وَ لَوْ كَانَ كَذَلِكَ مَا اسْتَطَاعُوا أَنْ يَخْرُجُوا إِلَى مَكَّةَ هَذِهِ الْمِيَاهُ عَامَّتُهَا صَدَقَةٌ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Abdul Rahman Bin Al Hajjaj, from Ja’far Bin Ibrahim Al Hashimy, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘Is the charity Permissible for the Clan of Hashim<sup>as</sup>?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘But rather, that is the charity Obligated upon the people, it is not Permissible for us<sup>asws</sup>. So as for the other than that, so there is no problem with it. And had it been like that, they would not have the leeway that they go out to Makkah. These waters, the generality of it is charity’.
