باب الصَّدَقَةِ فِي الْمَسَاكِينِ

Sahih Muslim 2984b
وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ الضَّبِّيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏ ‏ ‏.‏
"‏ وَأَجْعَلُ ثُلُثَهُ فِي الْمَسَاكِينِ وَالسَّائِلِينَ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ ‏"
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Wahb b. Kaisan with the same chain of transmitters but with this change that he said:

" I earmark one-third for the poor, the needy and the wayfarers."
