Book 24: Obligatory Charity Tax (Zakat)

Chapter 24 Whoever gave things in charity while he was a Mushrik and then embraced Islam
باب مَنْ تَصَدَّقَ فِي الشِّرْكِ ثُمَّ أَسْلَمَ
Sahih al-Bukhari 1436

Narrated Hakim bin Hizam:

I said to Allah’s Messenger, “Before embracing Islam I used to do good deeds like giving in charity,
slave-manumitting, and the keeping of good relations with Kith and kin. Shall I be rewarded for those
deeds?” The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, “You became Muslim with all those good deeds (Without losing their
reward).”

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ أَشْيَاءَ كُنْتُ أَتَحَنَّثُ بِهَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ مِنْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ عَتَاقَةٍ وَصِلَةِ رَحِمٍ فَهَلْ فِيهَا مِنْ أَجْرٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏”‏ أَسْلَمْتَ عَلَى مَا سَلَفَ مِنْ خَيْرٍ ‏”‏‏.‏
