أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ ، عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي هِلَالٍ ، عَنْ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ هِنْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا يَوْمًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ جُلُوسًا وَنَفَرٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ , وَالْأَنْصَارِ ، فَأَرْسَلْنَا رَجُلًا إِلَى عَائِشَةَ لِيَسْتَأْذِنَ فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهَا , قَالَتْ : دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ سَائِلٌ مَرَّةً وَعِنْدِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَمَرْتُ لَهُ بِشَيْءٍ ، ثُمَّ دَعَوْتُ بِهِ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَمَا تُرِيدِينَ أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلَ بَيْتَكِ شَيْءٌ ، وَلَا يَخْرُجَ إِلَّا بِعِلْمِكِ " , قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : " مَهْلًا يَا عَائِشَةُ لَا تُحْصِي ، فَيُحْصِيَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَيْكِ " .
´It was narrated that Abu Umamah bin Sahl bin Hunaif said:` "One day we were sitting in the Masjid with a group of the Muhajirin and Ansar, We sent a man to 'Aishah to ask permission to come to her. She said: 'A beggar came in to me one day when the Messenger of Allah was present, and I ordered that he be given something, then I called for it and looked at it. The Messenger of Allah said: Do you want that nothing should enter or leave your house without your knowledge? I said: 'Yes.' He said: "Don't be hasty, O 'Aishah. Do not count what you give, otherwise Allah will count what He gives to you."'

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
Just as we desire that Allah Ta’ala grant us sustenance without measure, in the same way we should continue to give charity (sadaqah) without counting, because the recompense of actions is according to their likeness. In this hadith, the mention of Allah Ta’ala “counting” is in the sense of correspondence (tashakul), otherwise Allah Ta’ala is free of any need to count. Without counting, He knows everything. In reality, here “counting” refers to giving less, because only a small amount is counted; a large amount is given without measure. It should be remembered that this refers to voluntary charity (nafl sadaqah), otherwise obligatory charities (fardh sadaqah) are given after calculation, and that calculation has itself been prescribed by the Shari’ah.
