SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4203		Narrated Abu Huraira: A Muslim and a Jew quarreled. The Muslim taking an oath; said; By Him Who has preferred Muhammad over all people...! The Jew said; By Him Who has preferred Moses; over all people. The Muslim raised his hand and slapped the Jew who came to the Prophet ﷺ to tell him what had happened between him and the Muslim. The Prophet ﷺ said; Dont give me superiority over Moses; for the people will become unconscious on the Day of Resurrection and I will be the first to gain consciousness to see Moses standing and holding a side of Allah Throne. I will not know if he has been among those people who have become unconscious; and that he has gained consciousness before me; or he has been amongst those whom Allah has exempted.

So Abdullah Bin Umar said to his father: Why have you given preference to Usamah over me? For by Allah; he has not preceded me to any battle.

MuwataMalik-017-001-34865		Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham Ibn Urwa that his father made all the teeth the same in the blood-money and did not prefer any kind over others. Malik said; What is done in our community is that the front teeth; molars; and eye-teeth have the same blood-money. That is because the Messenger of Allah; may Allah bless him and grant him peace; said; The tooth has five camels. The molar is one of the teeth and he did not prefer any kind over the others.

She was with him until she grew older; and then he married a young girl and preferred the young girl to her. She begged him to divorce her; so he divorced her and then he gave her time until she had almost finished her idda period and then he returned and still preferred the young girl. She therefore asked him to divorce her. He divorced her once; and then returned to her; and still preferred the young girl; and she asked him to divorce her. He said; What do you want? There is only one divorce left. If you like; continue and put up with what you see of preference; and if you like; I will separate from you. She said; I will continue in spite of the preference. He kept her in spite of that. Rafi did not see that he had done any wrong action when she remained with him in spite of preference.

MuwataMalik-017-001-35577		Yahya related to me from Zayd Ibn Aslam from Ata Ibn Yasar that the Messenger of Allah; may Allah bless him and grant him peace; said; Zakat is not permissible for someone who is not in need except for five: someone fighting in the way of Allah; someone who collects zakat; someone who has suffered financial loss at the hands of debtors ; someone who buys it with his own money; and some one who has a poor neighbour who receives some zakat and gives some as a present to the one who is not in need. Malik said; The position with us concerning the dividing up of zakat is that it is up to the individual judgement of the man in charge wali. Whichever categories of people are in most need and are most numerous are given preference; according to how the man in charge sees fit. It is possible that that may change after one year; or two; or more; but it is always those who are in need and are most numerous that are given preference; whatever category they may belong to. This is what I have seen done by people of knowledge with which I am satisifed. Malik said; There is no fixed share for the collector of the zakat; except according to what the imam sees fit.
