بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي التَّعَفُّفِ عَنِ الْمَسْأَلَةِWhat is Reported Regarding Abstaining from Begging
Hadith 1845
وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : نَزَلْتُ أَنَا وَأَهْلِي بِبَقِيعِ الْغَرْقَدِ، فَقَالَ لِي أَهْلِي : اذْهَبْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَاسْأَلْهُ لَنَا شَيْئًا نَأْكُلُهُ وَجَعَلُوا يَذْكُرُونَ مِنْ حَاجَتِهِمْ، فَذَهَبْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَوَجَدْتُ عِنْدَهُ رَجُلًا يَسْأَلُهُ، وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " لَا أَجِدُ مَا أُعْطِيكَ "، فَتَوَلَّى الرَّجُلُ عَنْهُ وَهُوَ مُغْضَبٌ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ : لَعَمْرِي إِنَّكَ لَتُعْطِي مَنْ شِئْتَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّهُ لَيَغْضَبُ عَلَيَّ أَنْ لَا أَجِدَ مَا أُعْطِيهِ، مَنْ سَأَلَ مِنْكُمْ وَلَهُ أُوقِيَّةٌ أَوْ عَدْلُهَا فَقَدْ سَأَلَ إِلْحَافًا " . قَالَ الْأَسَدِيُّ : فَقُلْتُ : لَلَقْحَةٌ لَنَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ أُوقِيَّةٍ، قَالَ مَالِك : وَالْأُوقِيَّةُ أَرْبَعُونَ دِرْهَمًا . قَالَ : فَرَجَعْتُ وَلَمْ أَسْأَلْهُ، فَقُدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِشَعِيرٍ وَزَبِيبٍ فَقَسَمَ لَنَا مِنْهُ، حَتَّى أَغْنَانَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
It is narrated from a man who was from Banu Asad that I and my family settled in Baqi' al-Gharqad (the name of a cemetery in Madinah Munawwarah). My wife said: Go to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and ask him for something to eat and tell him about your neediness. So I went to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and saw that a man was asking him for something, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was saying: "I do not have anything to give you." That man turned away angrily and as he was leaving, he was saying: By my life! You give only to whom you wish. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Look, he gets angry because I do not have anything to give him. Whoever among you asks while he has forty dirhams, or wealth equal to that, then he has clung to begging." I said: One camel is better for us than forty dirhams. Then I returned and did not ask the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, for anything. After that, barley and dried dates came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and he gave us a share from it, until Allah made us self-sufficient.
