حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَنْبَأَنَا حَرِيزُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ جَحَّاشٍ الْقُرَشِيِّ قَالَ بَزَقَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي کَفِّهِ ثُمَّ وَضَعَ أُصْبُعَهُ السَّبَّابَةَ وَقَالَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنَّی تُعْجِزُنِي ابْنَ آدَمَ وَقَدْ خَلَقْتُکَ مِنْ مِثْلِ هَذِهِ فَإِذَا بَلَغَتْ نَفْسُکَ هَذِهِ وَأَشَارَ إِلَی حَلْقِهِ قُلْتَ أَتَصَدَّقُ وَأَنَّی أَوَانُ الصَّدَقَةِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 2707
It was narrated that Busr bin Jahhash Al-Qurashi that the Prophet spat in his palm then pointed to it with his index finger and said: "Allah says: 'Do you think you can escape from My punishment, O son of Adam, when I have created you from something like this? When your soul reaches here' – and (the Prophet) pointed to his throat- 'You say: I give charity.' But it is too late for charity?"
