Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and the family of Muhammad (a.s.) do not eat alms

Hadith No: 1

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Dates used to be brought to Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.a.) immediately after being plucked. Different persons would bring their dates till a big heap collected (in front of the Prophet). Once Al-Hasan and Al-Husain were playing with these dates. One of them took a date and put it in his mouth. Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.a.) looked at him and took it out from his mouth and said, "Don't you know that Muhammad's offspring do not eat what is given in charity?"

He replied, "He lifted me onto his shoulder, and I took a date from the dates of charity and put it in my mouth." He then said, "Throw it away! Did you not know that charity is not lawful for us?" He would also pray with this supplication: "O Allah, guide me among those You have guided, grant me well-being among those You have granted well-being, take me into Your care among those You have taken into Your care, bless me in what You have given me, and protect me from the evil of what You have decreed. Indeed, You decree, and none can decree over You, and whoever You ally will not be humiliated. Blessed and Exalted are You." Ubaydullah ibn Musa narrated to us, from Isra'il, from Abu Ishaq, from Burayd ibn Abi Maryam, from Abi al-Huraira, from al-Hasan ibn Ali (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), who said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) taught me words to say in Qunut during the Witr prayer," and he mentioned something similar.

And he directed me to Umm Kulthum, daughter of Ali. I entered upon her, and there was an old woman on a bed. I mentioned it to her, and she said: "I do not know him, but a client of ours is said to be Kaysān or Hormuz, who told me that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said to him: 'O Hormuz or he said: O Kaysān, the family of Muhammad does not eat from charity, and a client of this kind is one of their own, and you are one of them, so do not eat from it.'" She said: "Return this money and distribute it in the land in which he died." Al-Thawri, Hammad ibn Zayd, and Warqat narrated from Ata, and similar reports.
