Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39285 — A townsman selling on behalf

Sayyiduna Abu Umayrah Rushayd bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: One day I was present with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when a man came with a platter of dates. He asked: "What is this? Is it sadaqah or a gift?" The man said: "(It is not a gift,) rather it is sadaqah." He passed the platter of dates to the people. Al-Hasan was rolling in the dust in front of him, and he took a date and put it in his mouth. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at him, put his finger into his mouth and took it out, and then said: "We, the family of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), do not eat sadaqah."
