(35) – باب فِي الإِمَامِ يَقْبَلُ هَدَايَا الْمُشْرِكِينَ
(1123) – Regarding The Imam Accepting Gifts From Idolaters
Sunan Abu Dawood 3056
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Mu’awiyah through a different chain of narrators to the same effect as narrated by Abu Taubah. This version has “I have nothing to pay from me. The Apostle of Allah ﷺ thereupon kept silence and this displeased me.”
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ، بِمَعْنَى إِسْنَادِ أَبِي تَوْبَةَ وَحَدِيثِهِ قَالَ عِنْدَ قَوْلِهِ " مَا يَقْضِي عَنِّي " . فَسَكَتَ عَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَاغْتَمَزْتُهَا .
