Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Umar ibn Abi Bakr’s father narrates that once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to the mosque and bunches of dates were hanging in the mosque, and among them, one bunch had some spoiled dates. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had a stick with him; he struck that bunch with it and said, “Who has brought this?” People informed him that a certain man had brought it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Woe to those people who withhold their charity at first.” (The meaning of the last part of the hadith is not clear even to the researcher Muhammad ‘Awwamah; see the footnote of Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah, vol. 7, p. 79)
