It is narrated from Imam al-Dahhak bin Abi Jabirah (may Allah have mercy on him) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "And do not throw yourselves with your own hands into destruction, and do good; indeed, Allah loves those who do good", that he said: "The Ansar used to give (in the way of Allah) and give charity; then a year of famine struck them, so they held back. At this Allah, Mighty and Majestic, revealed this verse: 'And do not throw yourselves with your own hands into destruction, and do good; indeed, Allah loves those who do good.'"
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This hadith was narrated from Dawud bin Abi Hind only by Hammad bin Salamah; Hudbah bin Khalid is alone in narrating it. He said 'al-Dahhak bin Abi Jabirah', whereas the correct name is 'Abu Jabirah bin al-Dahhak'."
