It is narrated from Sayyiduna Rushayd bin Malik Abu Amirah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: One day I was sitting in the blessed gathering of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when a man came with a platter of dates. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What is this? Sadaqah or a gift?" The man said: "(Exalted one!) It is sadaqah." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then present it to the people (who are present here)." Meanwhile Sayyiduna al-Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) was playing on the ground in front of him (peace and blessings be upon him). He picked up a date and put it in his mouth. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw this, he put his blessed hand into the child's mouth, took out the date and threw it away, then said: "Indeed we, the family of Muhammad, do not eat sadaqah."
Imam al-Bawardi narrated it from Muhammad bin Ayyub, and he from Ahmad bin Yunus. Imam al-Tabarani narrated it through Abu Zur'ah and Abu Nu'aym; both of them said: Muqarrin narrated this report to us. Ibn Mandah and Ibn al-Sakan also narrated it through al-Barudi, while Imam al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) recorded it in his book al-Tarikh through the chain of Abu Nu'aym.
