١١٠٩٥ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: نا حاتم بن إسماعيل عن حميد بن صخر عن عمر بن أبي بكر قال: حدثني أبي قال: دخل رسول اللَّه ﷺ المسجد وأقناء في المسجد معلقة، وإذا (فيها) (١) قنو فيه (خدر) (٢) ومعه عرجون (أو) (٣) (في يده) (٤) ⦗٤١٨⦘ عصا (قال) (٥): فطعن فيه وقال: "من جاء بهذا؟ " قالوا: فلان، قال (رسول اللَّه ﷺ) (٦): "بؤس ناس يمسكون صدقاتهم ثم تطرح بالعراء فلا (تأكلها) (٧) العافية (٨)، (يهاجر) (٩) كل (برقه) (١٠) ورعده إلى الشام" (١١).
The father of Umar bin Abi Bakr said: Once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came into the mosque, and bunches of dates were hanging in the mosque, and on one of the bunches there were some bad dates. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had a stick; he (peace and blessings be upon him) struck the bunch with it and said: "Who brought this?" The people said: So-and-so brought it. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Ruin is for those people who first withhold their charities" (the meaning of the last part of the hadith could not be made clear even to the editor Muhammad Awwamah; see the footnote of Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah, vol. 7, p. 79).
١١٠٩٦ - حدثنا أبو أسامة عن محمد بن أبي حفصة قال: حدثني الزهري عن أبي أمامة بن (سل) (١) قال: كان ناس يتصدقون بشرار ثمارهم حتى نزلت: ﴿وَلَا تَيَمَّمُوا الْخَبِيثَ مِنْهُ تُنْفِقُونَ وَلَسْتُمْ بِآخِذِيهِ إِلَّا أَنْ تُغْمِضُوا فِيهِ﴾ [البقرة: ٢٦٧] (٢).
Abu Umamah bin Sahl said: People used to give the worst of their fruits in charity, until this verse was revealed: "And do not aim at the bad of it to spend from, while you yourselves would not take it except with your eyes closed (to it)." [Al-Baqarah: 267] (Abu Dawud 1603; Ibn Khuzaymah 2313)
١١٠٩٧ - حدثنا ابن علية عن سلمة بن علقمة عن ابن سيرين أنه سأل عبيدة عن قوله (تعالى) (١): ﴿وَلَا تَيَمَّمُوا الْخَبِيثَ مِنْهُ تُنْفِقُونَ (وَلَسْتُمْ بِآخِذِيهِ) (٢)﴾ [البقرة: ٢٦٧]، إنما ذلك في الزكاة، والدراهم الزيف أحب إلي من التمر.
Ibn Sirin narrates that he asked Ubaydah about the words of Allah: "And do not aim at the bad of it to spend from, while you yourselves would not take it" [Al-Baqarah: 267]. He said: That is only concerning zakah; and counterfeit dirhams are dearer to me than (poor) dates.
١١٠٩٨ - حدثنا وكيع عن يزيد عن الحسن (ولا تيمموا الخبيث منه تنفقون) (قال) (١): كان الرجل يتصدق (برذاذة) (٢) ماله.
Al-Hasan said: The words of Allah, "And do not aim at the bad of it to spend from" [Al-Baqarah: 267], were revealed concerning the person who gives poor and worthless wealth in charity (zakah) in the path of Allah.
١١٠٩٩ - حدثنا عبيد اللَّه بن موسى عن إسرائيل عن السدي عن أبي مالك عن البراء في قوله (تعالى) (١): ﴿وَلَا تَيَمَّمُوا الْخَبِيثَ﴾ قال: نزلت فينا كنا أصحاب نخل فكان الرجل يأتي من نخله بقدر قلته وكثرته، قال: فكان الرجل يأتي بالقنو والرجل يأتي بالقنوين، فيعلقه في المسجد (قال) (٢): وكان أهل الصفة ليس لهم طعام (قال) (٣) فكان أحدهم إذا جاء إلى القنو (فيضربه) (٤) بعصا، فيسقط منه التمر والبسر، فيأكل وكان أناس ممن لا يرغب في الخير، فيأتي أحدهم بالقنو فيه الحشف وفيه الشيص، ويأتي بالقنو قد انكسر، فيعلقه قال: فأنزل اللَّه: ﴿وَلَا تَيَمَّمُوا الْخَبِيثَ مِنْهُ تُنْفِقُونَ وَلَسْتُمْ بِآخِذِيهِ إِلَّا أَنْ تُغْمِضُوا فِيهِ﴾ [البقرة: ٢٦٧]، قال: لو أن أحدكم أهدي إليه مثل ما أعطى لم يأخذه إلا على إغماض وحياء. قال: فكان بعد ذلك يأتي الرجل بصالح ما عنده (٥).
Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "And do not aim at the bad of it to spend from" was revealed about us. Our people were owners of date palms. Each of us would bring dates in proportion to how little or how much he had. So one man would bring one bunch and another two bunches, and hang them in the mosque. The People of the Suffah had nothing to eat; one of them would come and strike the bunch of dates with a stick, and dry and fresh dates would fall from it, which he would eat. Some people (among us) were not inclined towards good deeds; they would bring a bunch of bad and spoiled dates and hang it in the mosque. So Allah Almighty revealed the verse of the Holy Qur'an: "And do not aim at the bad of it to spend from, while you yourselves would not take it except with your eyes closed (to it)." [Al-Baqarah: 267] And he said: If the like of what one of you gives were given to him as a gift, he would take it only with his eyes closed, considering it worthless, out of shyness. The narrator said: After that, each one of us would give the excellent and good part of his wealth in charity.
