In numerous hadiths from both Shia and Sunni sources, Zakat and Sadaqah (alms) are described using the expression "Ousakh al-Nas" (the filth of the people) or "Ousakh Aydi al-Nas" (the filth of people's hands). This description is cited as one of the primary reasons for the prohibition of receiving Zakat for the Prophet (PBUH), his Ahl al-Bayt (AS), and the Banu Hashim. This terminology, alongside the emphasis on Khums as a "purer" alternative, raises significant questions regarding chains of transmission (isnad), textual implication (dalalah), and Quranic consistency; particularly since the Quran introduces Zakat as a mechanism for the purification of believers' wealth and souls.
This study collects the most prominent traditions containing this phrase from authentic Hadith collections of both schools and examines them from the perspectives of Isnad and Dalalah. Subsequently, by studying these traditions as a "Hadith family," it reflects on their potential Quranic roots, jurisprudential challenges, and apparent inconsistencies with verses such as "He receives the charities" (Ya’khudhu al-Sadaqat) and "He nourishes charities" (Yurbi al-Sadaqat).
The findings of this research indicate that while some of these narrations are authentic, the literal implications of certain phrases—such as "I shall not prefer others over you"—seem inconsistent with Quranic principles of justice and the rejection of racial or ancestral superiority. The most plausible rational explanation for the term "Ousakh al-Nas" is that it refers to the emotional-psychological attachment and the stinginess of the owner associated with the wealth of Zakat, rather than an inherent impurity of the money itself.
