Hadith 18726

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ حَارِثَةَ بْنَ وَهْبٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " تَصَدَّقُوا ، فَيُوشِكُ الرَّجُلُ يَمْشِي بِصَدَقَتِهِ ، فَيَقُولُ الَّذِي أُعْطِيَهَا : لَوْ جِئْتَ بِهَا بِالْأَمْسِ ، قَبِلْتُهَا ، وَأَمَّا الْآنَ ، فَلَا حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهَا ، فَلَا يَجِدُ مَنْ يَقْبَلُهَا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Haritha (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Give charity, for a time will soon come when a person will go out with something to give in charity, and the one to whom he offers it will say, "If you had brought this yesterday, I would have accepted it, but now I have no need of it." Thus, he will not find anyone who will accept his charity.
