أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ بَالَوَيْهِ الْمُزَكِّي، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ الْقَطَّانُ، ثنا قَطَنُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ثنا حَفْصُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ سَأَلَ عَنْهُ أَهُوَ هَدِيَّةٌ أَمْ صَدَقَةٌ، فَإِنْ قِيلَ: صَدَقَةٌ، قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ: " كُلُوا " وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ، وَإِنْ قِيلَ: هَدِيَّةٌ، ضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ وَأَكَلَ مَعَهُمْ ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when food was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) would ask: "Is it a gift or charity?" If it was said: "It is charity," he would say to the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them): "Eat it," and he himself would not eat. And when it was said: "It is a gift," he would reach out his hand to it and eat with them.
