Shu'bah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Do you not wonder at Jarir bin Hazim, this madman? He and Hammad bin Zayd came to me and spoke to me about refraining from mentioning al-Hasan bin Umarah. Should I refrain from mentioning him? No, by Allah, I will not refrain from mentioning him. By Allah, I asked al-Hakam (may Allah have mercy on him) about sadaqah: may it be given to just one of the categories that Allah Almighty has mentioned in the Qur'an? He said: There is no harm in it. I asked: From whom did you hear it? He said: Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) used to say this.
