Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 10570 — A poor person for whom something

Amr bin Sa'id said: A man begged something from Humayd bin Abd al-Rahman. Humayd said to him: "You are astray." It seemed that he was an Ibadi (an Arab tribe that went astray and adopted Christianity is called Ibadi). Then he ordered something to be given to him, but he considered it too little and refused to accept it. Humayd said: "As you wish: accept it, or else we will give it to someone else." Then he said: "It used to be said: Do not turn the beggar away empty-handed, even if it is with something as small as the head of a bird (sandgrouse)."
