Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #26799

Muhammad bin Ismail narrated to us, Ibrahim bin Musa narrated to us, Al-Walid bin Muslim narrated to us, on the authority of Al-Muthanna bin Al-Sabbah, on the authority of Amr bin Shuaib, On the authority of his father, on the authority of his grandfather, that the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, addressed the people and said: “Whoever is the guardian of an orphan and has wealth, let him trade in it and not He leaves it until the charity consumes it.” Abu Issa said, “This hadith was only narrated through this chain of transmission, and there is an article in its chain of transmission because Al-Muthanna bin Al-Sabbah is weakened in the hadith. Some of them narrated this hadith on the authority of Amr bin Shuaib that Omar bin Al-Khattab mentioned this. The hadith. The scholars differed on this matter, and more than one of the companions of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, considered zakat to be paid on the orphan’s wealth. Among them was Omar, Ali, Aisha, and Ibn Omar, and it is also said by Malik, Al-Shafi’i, Ahmad, and Ishaq. A group of scholars said There is no zakat on the orphan’s wealth. This is what Sufyan Al-Thawri and Abdullah bin Al-Mubarak say. And Amr bin Shuaib is the son of Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-Aas and Shuaib had heard from his grandfather Abdullah bin Amr. Yahya bin Saeed spoke about Amr’s hadith. Ibn Shuaib, and he said, “He is weak in our view.” And whoever deemed it weak, he only deemed it weak because he was narrating from the manuscript of his grandfather, Abdullah Ibn Amr. As for most of the hadith scholars, they use the hadith of Amr bin Shuaib as evidence, and they confirm it, including Ahmad, Ishaq, and others.
