أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَخْلَدٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ طُلِّقَتْ خَالَتُهُ فَأَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ إِلَی نَخْلٍ لَهَا فَلَقِيَتْ رَجُلًا فَنَهَاهَا فَجَائَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ اخْرُجِي فَجُدِّي نَخْلَکِ لَعَلَّکِ أَنْ تَصَدَّقِي وَتَفْعَلِي مَعْرُوفًا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3585
It was narrated from Jabir that his maternal aunt was divorced, and she wanted to go out to some date palms of hers, but she met a man who told her not to do that. She went to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم , and he said: “Go out and take the harvest of your date palms, for perhaps you will give Zakah or do some good (give voluntary charity).” (Sahih)
