Hadith 23722

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي سَلْمَانُ ، قَالَ : " أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِطَعَامٍ وَأَنَا مَمْلُوكٌ ، فَقُلْتُ : هَذِهِ صَدَقَةٌ ، فَأَمَرَ أَصْحَابَهُ فَأَكَلُوا وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ ، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ بِطَعَامٍ ، فَقُلْتُ : هَذِهِ هَدِيَّةٌ أَهْدَيْتُهَا لَكَ ، أُكْرِمُكَ بِهَا فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُكَ لَا تَأْكُلُ الصَّدَقَةَ ، فَأَمَرَ أَصْحَابَهُ فَأَكَلُوا وَأَكَلَ مَعَهُمْ " . .
It is narrated from Hazrat Salman Farsi (may Allah be pleased with him) that during my period of slavery, once I brought food to the service of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "This is charity." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed his companions, and they ate it, but the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not eat it himself. On another occasion, I brought food again and said, "This is a gift which I have brought for you out of respect for you, because I have seen that you do not eat charity." So the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed his companions, and they ate it, and the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also ate it with them.
