‘Adiy ibn Hotim rivoyat qiladi: Islomni qabul qilishdan oldin: “Men Payg‘ambar ﷺ huzurida edim. Bir kishi kelib, qashshoqlikdan shikoyat qildi, so‘ngra yana bir kishi kelib, yo‘l to‘sarlar tomonidan talon-taroj qilinganidan shikoyat qildi. U zot ﷺ dedilar: ‘Ey ‘Adiy, sen Hiyra (Iroqda)ni ko‘rganmisan?’ Men dedim: ‘Yo‘q, lekin u haqda eshitganman.’ U zot ﷺ dedilar: ‘Agar umring uzoq bo‘lsa, ko‘rasan, bir ayol Hiyradan tuya minib, Allohdan boshqa hech kimdan qo‘rqmasdan Ka’bani tavof qiladi.’ Men o‘zimga dedim: ‘Unda bu yurtlarni talagan Toy qabilasining qaroqchilari qayerda bo‘ladi?’ U zot ﷺ davom etdilar: ‘Agar umring uzoq bo‘lsa, Hurmuzning o‘g‘li Kisroning xazinalari fath etiladi.’ Men dedim: ‘Hurmuzning o‘g‘li Kisroning xazinalarimi?’ U zot tasdiqladilar: ‘Hurmuzning o‘g‘li Kisroning xazinalari. Agar umring uzoq bo‘lsa, ko‘rasan, bir kishi qo‘li oltin yoki kumush bilan to‘la holda chiqib, uni qabul qiladigan kishini qidiradi, lekin uni qabul qiladigan hech kimni topa olmaydi.’ Keyinchalik ‘Adiy aytdi: ‘Darhaqiqat, men bir ayolni Hiyradan tuya minib, Allohdan boshqa hech kimdan qo‘rqmasdan Ka’bani tavof qilganini ko‘rdim va men Hurmuzning o‘g‘li Kisroning xazinalarini fath etganlar orasida edim. Agar umring uzoq bo‘lsa, Abul Qosim — Payg‘ambar ﷺ — qo‘li to‘la holda chiqqan kishi haqida aytgan gapni ko‘rasan…’”285 Musulmon tarixchilari hujjatlashtirishicha, zakot oluvchi munosib kishi topa olmaslik holati ‘Abbosiylar xalifasi ‘Umar ibn ‘Abdulaziz (vaf. 720) hukmronligi davrida yuz bergan.

‘Adī ibn Ḥātim  narrates that prior to accepting Islam, “As I was with the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, a man came to him complaining of poverty, and then another came to him complaining of highway robbery. He صلى الله عليه وسلم said, ‘O ‘Adī, have you seen al-Ḥīrah (in Iraq)?’ I said, ‘No, but I have been told about it.’ He said, ‘If you live long enough, you will see a woman travel on camel from al- Ḥīrah till she circles the Ka‘bah not fearing anyone but Allah.’ I said to myself, ‘Where then would the bandits of Ṭay’ be, who have pillaged these lands?’ He صلى الله عليه وسلم continued, ‘And if you live long enough, the treasures of Chosroes, the son of Hurmuz, will be conquered.’ I said, ‘Chosroes, the son of Hurmuz?’ He confirmed, ‘Chosroes, the son of Hurmuz. And if you live long enough, you will see a man walking out, hand filled with gold or silver, seeking someone to accept it but he will not find anyone to accept it.’ Later in his life, ‘Adī said, ‘I have in fact seen a woman travel on camel from al-Ḥīrah till she circled the Ka‘bah while not fearing anyone but Allah, and I was among those who conquered the treasures of Chosroes, the son of Hurmuz. And if you live long enough, you will see what the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم—Abūl Qāsim—said regarding a man walking out, hand filled…’”285 Muslim historians document that the inability to find someone eligible to accept charity took place during the reign of the ‘Abbāsid caliph, ‘Umar ibn ‘Abd al-‘Azīz (d. 720).
