´It was narrated that Abu Mas 'ud said:` "When the Messenger of Allah commanded us to give in charity, Abu 'Aqil give half a Sa', and another man brought much more than that. The hypocrites said: 'Allah has no need of the charity of the former, and the latter only did it to show off. Then the following was revealed: 'Those who defame such of the believers who give charity voluntarily, and such who could not find to give charity except what is available to them."'[1]
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
"Another companion." This was Abdur Rahman ibn Awf radi Allahu anhu. He was counted among the wealthy companions radi Allahu anhum. On that day, he brought four thousand dirhams, and according to another narration, eight thousand dirhams. See: (Dhakheerat al-Uqba Sharh Sunan al-Nasa'i: 22/356). The hypocrites accused him of showing off, and they made a mockery of Abu Aqil radi Allahu anhu's charity of half a sa‘ and belittled it.
