عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ نَائِمًا فَوَجَدَ تَمْرَةً تَحْتَ جَنْبِهِ فَأَخَذَهَا فَأَكَلَهَا، ثُمَّ جَعَلَ يَتَضَوَّرُ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ وَفَزِعَ لِذَلِكَ بَعْضُ أَزْوَاجِهِ، فَقَالَ: ((إِنِّي وَجَدْتُّ تَمْرَةً تَحْتَ جَنْبِي فَأَكَلْتُهَا فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنْ تَمْرِ الصَّدَقَةِ))
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was sleeping, and he found a date under his side. He (peace and blessings be upon him) picked it up and ate it, but later in the last part of the night, he (peace and blessings be upon him) became restless due to worry, so much so that some of his wives also became anxious. He (peace and blessings be upon him) explained the reason, saying: I found a date under my side and I ate it. Now I fear that perhaps it was a date from charity.
