Abd AlMuttalib Bin Rabia Bin AlHarith reported that Rabia Bin AlHarith and Abbas Bin Abd AlMuttalib gathered together and said: By Allah; if we had sent these two young boys i. e. I and Fadl Bin Abbas to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and they had spoken to him; he would have appointed them as the collectors of these sadaqat; and they would collect them and pay to the Holy Prophet as other people collectors paid and would get a share as other people got it. As they were talking about it there came Ali Bin Abu Talib and stood before them; and they made a mention of it to him. Ali Bin Abu Talib said: Dont do that; by Allah he the Holy Prophet would not do that would not accept your request. Rabia Bin Harith turned to him and said: By Allah; you are not doing so but out of jealousy that you nurse against us By Allah; you became the son-in-law of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ but we felt no jealousy against you for this great privilege of yours. Ali then said: Send them if you like. They set out and Ali lay on the bed. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered the noon prayer. we went ahead of him to his apartment and stood near it till he came out. He took hold of our ears out of love and affection and then said: Give out what you have kept in your hearts. He then entered the apartment and we also went in and he the Holy Prophet was on that day in the house of Zainab Bin jahsh. We urged each of us to speak. Then one of us thus spoke: Messenger of Allah; you are the best of humanity and the best to cement the ties of blood-relations. We have reached the-marriageable age. We have come to you so that you may appoint us as collectors of these sadaqat. and we would pay you just as thin people other collectors pay you; and get our share as others get it. He the Holy Prophet kept silence for a long time till we wished that we should speak with him again ; and Zainab pointied to us from behind the curtain not to talk any more. He the Holy Prophet said; It does not become the family of Muhammad to accept sadaqat for they are the impurities of people. You call to me Mahmiya and he was in charge of khums; i. e; of the one-fifth part that goes to the treasury out of the spoils of war ; and Nawfal Bin Harith Bin Abd AlMuttalib. They both came to him; and he the Holy Prophet said to Mahmiya: Marry your daughter to this young man i. e. Fadl Bin Abbas ; and he married her to him And he said to Nawfal Bin Harith: Marry your daughter to this young man i e. Abd AlMuttalib Bin Rabia; the narrator of this hadith and he married her to me; and he said to Mahmiya: Pay so much mahr on behalf of both of them from this khums Zuhri; however. said: He did not determine the amount of mahr.
