Musnad Ahmad

Abu’l-Hawra Sa‘di says that I asked Sayyiduna Imam Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him), “Do you remember any sayings of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?” He replied, “I remember that once I picked up a date from the charity and put it in my mouth. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took it out along with my saliva and put it back with the other dates. A man said, ‘If he had eaten this one date, what would have happened? Would you have let him eat it?’ The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘Charity is not lawful for us, the family of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).’ Also, I remember five prayers from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).”
