6. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu’alla ibn Muhammad and Muhammad ibn Yahya from Ahmad ibn Muhammad all from al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Washsha’ from Ahmad ibn ‘A'idh from abu Khadijah from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who said, ‘You can pay Zakat to whoever wants it from Banu Hashim because it is lawful for them. It is unlawful only for the Prophet (sw) and for the Imam after him, and for the Imams, may the blessings of Allah be upon them all.’
