Through a lengthy "Hadith" recorded in "Kitab al-Kafi" (a Shia reference), the Prophet Muhammad has mentioned that those entitled to receive "Al-Khums" are the relatives of the Holy Prophet whom Allah has mentioned in his words, "Warn your close relatives. They are the children of Abdul-Muttalib, men and women. None of the families of Quraysh or the Arabs or their slaves are lawful to receive al-Khums. The charities of the masses of people are lawful for their slaves to consume. One whose mother is from the family of Banu Hashim and his father from the masses of people, the charities are lawful for such person to consume. Such a person is not entitled to receive from al-Khums because Allah, the Most High has said, 'Call them sons of their own fathers'."
