I heard Abu al-Qasim ﷺ when some dates from the charity were brought to him. He gave instructions concerning them, then he lifted Hasan, or Husayn, onto his shoulder, and the child's saliva began dripping onto him. He looked at him and saw that he was chewing on a date. He moved his cheek and said, "Spit it out, my son. Do you not know that the family of Muhammad does not eat from charity?"
حدثنا عفان حدثنا حماد بن سلمة قال أخبرنا محمد بن زياد قال سمعت
سمعت أبا القاسم ﷺ أتي بتمر من تمر الصدقة فأمر فيه بأمره فحمل الحسن أو الحسين على عاتقه فجعل لعابه يسيل عليه فنظر إليه فإذا هو يلوك تمرة فحرك خده وقال ألقها يا بني أما شعرت أن آل محمد لا يأكلون الصدقة
Its chain of transmission is sahih. Bukhari, 2/157, in "The Obligation of Zakat," chapter on what is mentioned regarding charity given to the Prophet ﷺ, narrated it with a similar wording, as did Muslim, 2/751, no. 1069, in "Zakat," chapter on the prohibition of zakat for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and Ibn Abu Shayba, 3/214, in "Zakat," chapter on those who said charity is not permissible for Banu Hashim.
