HOLY FAMILY ARE FORBIDDEN TO RECEIVE CHARITY H 298 "Hasan son of Ali, the grandson of the Holy Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, picked up a date that had been designated for charity, and put it in his mouth. The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, saw him do this and asked him to remove it out saying: Tut, tut, don't you know that we (the Holy family and their descendants) do not eat charity.'" We are also informed: "For us (the family of the Holy Prophet) charity is unlawful." R 298 Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said:
298- عن أَبي هريرة رضي الله عنه ، قَالَ : أخذ الحسن بن علي رضي الله عنهما تَمْرَةً مِنْ تَمْر الصَّدَقَةِ فَجَعَلَهَا في فِيهِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم : "كَخْ كَخْ إرْمِ بِهَا ، أمَا عَلِمْتَ أنَّا لا نَأكُلُ الصَّدَقَةَ !؟" مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيهِ . وفي رواية : "أنَّا لا تَحِلُّ لَنَا الصَّدَقَةُ" . وقوله : "كَخْ كَخْ" يقال : بإسكان الخاء ، ويقال : بكسرها مَعَ التنوين وهي كلمة زجر للصبي عن المستقذراتِ ، وكان الحسن رضي الله عنه صبِيّاً .
