Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 11049

وَعَنْ أَبِي عُقَيْلٍ أَنَّهُ بَاتَ يَجُرُّ الْحَرِيرَ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ عَلَى صَاعَيْنِ مِنْ تَمْرٍ ، فَانْقَلَبَ بِأَحَدِهِمَا إِلَى أَهْلِهِ يَنْتَفِعُونَ بِهِ ، وَجَاءَ بِالْآخَرِ يَتَقَرَّبُ بِهِ إِلَى اللَّهِ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - فَأَتَى بِهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَأَخْبَرَهُ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " انْثُرْهُ فِي الصَّدَقَةِ " . فَقَالَ فِيهِ الْمُنَافِقُونَ وَسَخِرُوا مِنْهُ : مَا كَانَ أَغْنَى هَذَا أَنْ يَتَقَرَّبَ إِلَى اللَّهِ بِصَاعٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ . فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - : الَّذِينَ يَلْمِزُونَ الْمُطَّوِّعِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي الصَّدَقَاتِ وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَجِدُونَ إِلَّا جُهْدَهُمْ الْآيَتَيْنِ . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ ، إِلَّا أَنَّ خَالِدَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ لَمْ أَجِدْ مَنْ وَثَّقَهُ وَلَا جَرَّحَهُ .
It is reported about Sayyiduna Abu Aqil (may Allah be pleased with him) that he spent the night carrying loads on his back in return for two sa' of dates. Then he took one of the two sa' home so that his family could make use of it, and brought the other so that he might seek nearness to Allah Almighty through it. He brought it to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him about it, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Scatter it among the charity." The hypocrites spoke about him, mocking him: "Was this man not in no need of seeking nearness to Allah Almighty with a single sa' of dates?" Then Allah Almighty revealed this verse concerning it: "Those who find fault with the believers who give charity voluntarily, and with those believers who find nothing but the earnings of their own toil." These are two verses.
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it; its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy), except for Khalid bin Yasar: I have not found anyone who declared him trustworthy or criticised him.
