Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39288 — A townsman selling on behalf

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) found a date and said: "If you were not from the sadaqah, I would have eaten you." It is mentioned that the view of (Imam) Abu Hanifah is: Sadaqah is lawful for the freed slaves of Banu Hashim and others.
