Musnad Abi Ya'la 2220 — a man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ بِبَيْضَةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَصَابَهَا فِي بَعْضِ الْمَغَازِي ، فَقَالَ : خُذْهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَدَقَةً ، فَوَاللهِ مَا أَصْبَحْتُ أَمْلِكُ غَيْرَهَا ، فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ ، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ فَقَالَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ : هَاتِهَا ، مُغْضَبًا ، فَأَخَذَهَا فَخَذَفَهُ بِهَا خَذْفَةً لَوْ أَصَابَهُ لَشَجَّهُ أَوْ عَقَرَهُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : يَأْتِي أَحَدُكُمْ بِمَالِهِ كُلِّهِ فَيَتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ ثُمَّ يَجْلِسُ فَيَتَكَفَّفُ النَّاسَ ، أَلَا إِنَّهُ لَا صَدَقَةَ إِلَّا عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with (gold) the size of a hen's egg, which he had obtained in one of the military expeditions, and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Accept it as charity. By Allah! At this time I have no wealth other than this." But he (peace and blessings be upon him) turned away from him. Then he came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) from his left side and said the same thing, then he came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) from in front of him and repeated the same thing. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said in a state of anger: "Bring it here." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) took it and threw it at that man with such force that had it struck him, it would have split his head or badly wounded him. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "One of you brings all his wealth and gives it in charity, then sits down needy and stretches out his hands before people. Know that there is no charity except from what is beyond one's needs (from a state of sufficiency)."
