رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : نَزَلْتُ أَنَا وَأَهْلِي بِبَقِيعِ الْغَرْقَدِ ، فَقَالَ لِي أَهْلِي : اذْهَبْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَلْهُ لَنَا شَيْئًا نَأْكُلُهُ فَجَعَلُوا يَذْكُرُونَ مِنْ حَاجَتِهِمْ ، فَذَهَبْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَوَجَدْتُ عِنْدَهُ رَجُلًا يَسْأَلُهُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " لَا أَجِدُ مَا أُعْطِيكَ " ، فَتَوَلَّى الرَّجُلُ عَنْهُ وَهُوَ مُغْضَبٌ ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ : لَعَمْرِي إِنَّكَ لَتُعْطِي مَنْ شِئْتَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يَغْضَبُ عَلَيَّ أَنْ لَا أَجِدَ مَا أُعْطِيهِ ، مَنْ سَأَلَ مِنْكُمْ وَلَهُ أُوقِيَّةٌ أَوْ عِدْلُهَا فَقَدْ سَأَلَ إِلْحَافًا " ، قَالَ الْأَسَدِيُّ : فَقُلْتُ لَلِقْحَةٌ : لَنَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ أُوقِيَّةٍ وَالْأُوقِيَّةُ أَرْبَعُونَ دِرْهَمًا ، قَالَ : فَرَجَعْتُ وَلَمْ أَسْأَلْهُ ، فَقَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ شَعِيرٌ وَزَبِيبٌ فَقَسَمَ لَنَا مِنْهُ ، أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ : حَتَّى أَغْنَانَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : هَكَذَا رَوَاهُ الثَّوْرِيُّ كَمَا قَالَ مَالِكٌ .
Ata bin Yasar said: A man from Banu Asad said: I and my family alighted at Baqi al-Gharqad. My wife said to me: Go the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and beg something from him for our eating, and made a mention of there need. So I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I found with a man who was begging from him and he was saying to him: I have nothing to give you. The man turned away from him in anger while he was saying: By my life, you give anyone you wish. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He’s anger with me, for I have nothing to give him. If any of you begs when he has an Uqiyah or its equivalent, he has begged immoderately. The man of Banu Asad said: So I said: The she camel of ours is better than an uqiyah, while an uqiyah is equivalent to 40 Dirhams. I therefore returned and did not beg from him. Afterwards some barley and raisins where brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He gave us a share from them (or as he reported)till Allah, the Exalted, made us self-sufficient (i. e well off). Abu Dawud said: Al-Thawri narrated it as Malik narrated.
