The Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, became angry at those among them who withheld their obligatory charity
Abu Hurayrah said
“The Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, sent `Umar to collect charity, and it was said that Ibn Jameel, Khaalid ibn Al-Waleed, and Al-`Abbaas, the uncle of Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, withheld their charity. The Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: ‘Why does Ibn Jameel withhold charity, even though he was poor and Allah made him rich? As for Khaalid, then surely you are oppressing Khaalid. He is a man who has kept his armor, weapons, and riding beasts for Allah’s Sake [in Jihaad]; as for Al-`Abbaas, I have already taken two years’ worth of charity from him.’”
