Sunan Ibn Majah

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ بَکْرُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنِي صَالِحُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرِيبٍ عَنْ کَثِيرِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ قَالَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَدْ عَلَّقَ رَجُلٌ أَقْنَائً أَوْ قِنْوًا وَبِيَدِهِ عَصًا فَجَعَلَ يَطْعَنُ يُدَقْدِقُ فِي ذَلِکَ الْقِنْوِ وَيَقُولُ لَوْ شَائَ رَبُّ هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَةِ تَصَدَّقَ بِأَطْيَبَ مِنْهَا إِنَّ رَبَّ هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَةِ يَأْکُلُ الْحَشَفَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

It was narrated that' Awf bin Malik AI-Ashja'i said: "The Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H went out, and a man had hung up one or more bunches of dates. He (the Prophet P.B.U.H) had a stick in his hand and he started hitting that bunch of dates repeatedly, saying: 'If the owner of these dates wanted to give in charity, he should have given something better than these. The owner of this charity will eat rotten and shriveled dates on the Day of Resurrection:" (Hasan)

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَی بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَنْقَزِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَسْبَاطُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ عَنْ السُّدِّيِّ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ الْبَرَائِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ فِي قَوْلِهِ سُبْحَانَهُ وَمِمَّا أَخْرَجْنَا لَکُمْ مِنْ الْأَرْضِ وَلَا تَيَمَّمُوا الْخَبِيثَ مِنْهُ تُنْفِقُونَ قَالَ نَزَلَتْ فِي الْأَنْصَارِ کَانَتْ الْأَنْصَارُ تُخْرِجُ إِذَا کَانَ جِدَادُ النَّخْلِ مِنْ حِيطَانِهَا أَقْنَائَ الْبُسْرِ فَيُعَلِّقُونَهُ عَلَی حَبْلٍ بَيْنَ أُسْطُوَانَتَيْنِ فِي مَسْجِدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَيَأْکُلُ مِنْهُ فُقَرَائُ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ فَيَعْمِدُ أَحَدُهُمْ فَيُدْخِلُ قِنْوًا فِيهِ الْحَشَفُ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ جَائِزٌ فِي کَثْرَةِ مَا يُوضَعُ مِنْ الْأَقْنَائِ فَنَزَلَ فِيمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِکَ وَلَا تَيَمَّمُوا الْخَبِيثَ مِنْهُ تُنْفِقُونَ يَقُولُ لَا تَعْمِدُوا لِلْحَشَفِ مِنْهُ تُنْفِقُونَ وَلَسْتُمْ بِآخِذِيهِ إِلَّا أَنْ تُغْمِضُوا فِيهِ يَقُولُ لَوْ أُهْدِيَ لَکُمْ مَا قَبِلْتُمُوهُ إِلَّا عَلَی اسْتِحْيَائٍ مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ غَيْظًا أَنَّهُ بَعَثَ إِلَيْکُمْ مَا لَمْ يَکُنْ لَکُمْ فِيهِ حَاجَةٌ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ عَنْ صَدَقَاتِکُمْ

It was narrated that Barâ’ bin ‘Azib said concerning the Verse: “And of that which We have produced from the earth for you, and do not aim at that which is bad to spend from it.” “This was revealed concerning the Ansar. At the time of the new date-palm harvest, they would take a bunch of dates that were beginning to ripen and hang it on a rope between two of the pillars in the mosque of the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H, and the poor Emigrants would eat from it. One of them deliberately mixed a bunch containing rotten and shriveled dates, and thought that this was permissible because of the large number of dates that had been put there. So the following was revealed about the one who did that: ‘…and do not aim at that which is bad to spend from it’. Meaning do not seek out the rotten and shriveled dates to give in charity: ‘…(though) you would not accept it save if you close your eyes and tolerate therein.’ Meaning, if you were given this as a gift you would only accept it because you felt embarrassed, and you would be angry that he had sent you something of which you have no need. And know that Allah has no need of your charity.” (Hasan)
