Sahih Muslim, 6225

Yazid b. Hayyan reported, I went along with Husain b. Sabra and 'Umar b. Muslim to Zaid b. Arqam and, as we sat by his side, Husain said to him:Zaid. you have been able to acquire a great virtue that you saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) listened to his talk, fought by his side in (different) battles, offered prayer behind me. Zaid, you have in fact earned a great virtue. Zaid, narrate to us what you heard from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). He said: I have grown old and have almost spent my age and I have forgotten some of the things which I remembered in connection with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), so accept whatever I narrate to you, and which I do not narrate do not compel me to do that. He then said: One day Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood up to deliver sermon at a watering place known as Khumm situated between Mecca and Medina. He praised Allah, extolled Him and delivered the sermon and. exhorted (us) and said: Now to our purpose. O people, I am a human being. I am about to receive a messenger (the angel of death) from my Lord and I, in response to Allah's call, (would bid good-bye to you), but I am leaving among you two weighty things: the one being the Book of Allah in which there is right guidance and light, so hold fast to the Book of Allah and adhere to it. He exhorted (us) (to hold fast) to the Book of Allah and then said: The second are the members of my household I remind you (of your duties) to the members of my family. He (Husain) said to Zaid: Who are the members of his household? Aren't his wives the members of his family? Thereupon he said: His wives are the members of his family (but here) the members of his family are those for whom acceptance of Zakat is forbidden. And he said: Who are they? Thereupon he said: 'Ali and the offspring of 'Ali, 'Aqil and the offspring of 'Aqil and the offspring of Ja'far and the offspring of 'Abbas. Husain said: These are those for whom the acceptance of Zakat is forbidden. Zaid said: Yes

Rapporté par Yazid b. Hayyan : Je suis allé avec Husain b. Sabra et 'Umar b. Muslim chez Zaid b. Arqam. Assis près de lui, Husain lui dit : « Zaid, tu as eu un grand privilège : tu as vu le Messager d’Allah ﷺ, tu as écouté ses paroles, tu as combattu à ses côtés, tu as prié derrière lui. Zaid, tu as vraiment eu une grande faveur. Raconte-nous ce que tu as entendu du Messager d’Allah ﷺ. » Il répondit : « J’ai vieilli, ma vie est presque finie, et j’ai oublié certaines choses que je savais à propos du Messager d’Allah ﷺ, alors acceptez ce que je vous raconte et ne m’obligez pas à dire ce que je ne me rappelle plus. » Il dit alors : « Un jour, le Messager d’Allah ﷺ se leva pour faire un sermon à un point d’eau appelé Khumm, entre La Mecque et Médine. Il loua Allah, Le glorifia, fit un sermon, puis dit : “Venons-en à l’essentiel. Ô gens, je suis un être humain. Je vais bientôt recevoir un messager de la part de mon Seigneur (l’ange de la mort) et je vais répondre à l’appel d’Allah (je vais vous quitter). Mais je laisse parmi vous deux choses précieuses : la première est le Livre d’Allah, dans lequel il y a la bonne direction et la lumière, alors tenez-vous-y fermement.” Il insista pour que nous nous attachions au Livre d’Allah, puis dit : “La seconde, ce sont les membres de ma famille. Je vous rappelle vos devoirs envers les membres de ma famille.” » Husain demanda à Zaid : « Qui sont les membres de sa famille ? Ses femmes n’en font-elles pas partie ? » Il répondit : « Ses femmes font partie de sa famille, mais ici, il s’agit de ceux à qui il est interdit d’accepter la zakat. » Il demanda : « Qui sont-ils ? » Il répondit : « 'Ali et la descendance de 'Ali, 'Aqil et sa descendance, Ja'far et sa descendance, 'Abbas et sa descendance. » Husain dit : « Ce sont donc ceux à qui il est interdit d’accepter la zakat ? » Zaid répondit : « Oui. »
