Abu Bahr Bakrawi (may Allah have mercy on him) says: We were with Imam Shu’bah when a beggar came, so Shu’bah said: Give charity. But the people did not give charity, so he said: Abu Ishaq narrated to us from Abdullah bin Ma’qil from ‘Adi bin Hatim that indeed the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Save yourselves from the Fire, even if it is with half a date.” (Even after hearing the hadith) nothing was given to the beggar, so Imam Shu’bah said: Al-A’mash narrated to us from Khaythamah from ‘Adi bin Hatim that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Save yourselves from the Fire, even if it is with half a date.” Even this time, the people did not give anything (to the beggar), so Imam Shu’bah said: Muhall bin Khalifah narrated to us, he said: I heard ‘Adi bin Hatim say that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Save yourselves from the Fire, even if it is with half a date.” The narrator says that even then the people did not give anything, so Imam Shu’bah said: By Allah! Today I will keep narrating some hadith to you, you miserly shopkeepers! Get up and leave from here.
