Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34298 — The virtues of Ali bin Abi Talib
٣٤٢٩٨ - حدثنا يحيى بن آدم قال: ثنا (عبيد) (١) اللَّه الأشجعي عن سفيان بن (سعيد) (٢) عن عثمان بن المغيرة الثقفي عن سالم بن أبي الجعد عن علي ابن علقمة الأنماري عن علي قال: لما نزلت (هذه الآية) (٣): ﴿يَاأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا نَاجَيْتُمُ الرَّسُولَ فَقَدِّمُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ نَجْوَاكُمْ صَدَقَةً﴾، قال: قال لي رسول اللَّه ﷺ: "ما (ترى!) (٤) دينار؟ " قلت: لا (يطيقونه) (٥)، قال: "فكم؟ " قلت: شعيرة، قال: ⦗٧٨⦘ "إنك لزهيد"، قال: فنزلت: ﴿أَأَشْفَقْتُمْ أَنْ تُقَدِّمُوا بَيْنَ (يَدَيْ نَجْوَاكُمْ) (٦) صَدَقَاتٍ﴾، (الآية) (٧) قال: (فبه) (٨) (خفف) (٩) اللَّه عن هذه الأمة (١٠).
Ali bin Alqamah al-Anmari (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When this verse was revealed: "O you who believe, when you wish to speak privately with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), offer some charity before your private talk," the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "What is your opinion? Is one dinar sufficient?" I said: "People do not have the ability for that much." He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Then how much should it be?" I said: "A single grain of barley." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You are indeed one who sets it very low." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Then the other verse was revealed: "Were you afraid of offering charity before your private talk?" to the end of the verse. He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "So because of me Allah granted ease to this Ummah."
