The Hadith of giving zakat while in Ruku is a hadith which is about The Imam Ali. As it is reported one day the Prophet Mohammed, Ali and some companions were offering prayers in a mosque. A beggar came in and asked for charity. Whilst in their prayer not many people could have paid attention to him. The Imam Ali had noticed him but he was in Ruku, So he pointed his finger (on which he had a ring) out to gesture to the beggar to take it from him.[1]

The status and meaning of this event is a matter of discussion amongst scholars of Islam.[2]
