Ziyad b. al-Harith as-Suda’i said he came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and swore allegiance to him, and after telling a long story he said that a man came to him and asked him to give him some of the sadaqa. Allah's Messenger ﷺ then said to him, ‘‘Allah is not pleased with a prophet's or anyone else's decision about sadaqat till He has given a decision about them Himself. He has divided those entitled to them into eight categories,* so if you come within those categories I shall give you something.” Abu Dawud transmitted it. * Reference is to Al-Qur'an 9
