أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُقْرِئُ الْمِهْرَجَانِيُّ بِهَا، أنبأ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، ثنا يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا مُسَدَّدٌ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عِيَاضٌ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّ رَجُلًا دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ، وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَدَعَاهُ وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الْجُمُعَةَ الثَّانِيَةَ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَدَعَاهُ وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الْجُمُعَةَ الثَّالِثَةَ فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " تَصَدَّقُوا "، فَتَصَدَّقُوا فَأَعْطَاهُ ثَوْبَيْنِ مِمَّا تَصَدَّقُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ: " تَصَدَّقُوا " فَأَلْقَى هُوَ أَحَدَ ثَوْبَيْهِ فَانْتَهَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَكَرِهَ مَا صَنَعَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " انْظُرُوا إِلَى هَذَا، دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ بِهَيْئَةٍ بَذَّةٍ فَدَعَوْتُهُ فَرَجَوْتُ أَنْ تَفْطِنُوا لَهُ فَتَتَصَدَّقُوا عَلَيْهِ وَتَكْسُونَهُ، فَلَمْ تَفْعَلُوا، فَقُلْتُ: تَصَدَّقُوا، فَتَصَدَّقْتُ، فَأَعْطَيْتُهُ ثَوْبَيْنِ مِمَّا تَصَدَّقُوا، ثُمَّ قُلْتُ: تَصَدَّقُوا، فَأَلْقَى أَحَدَ ثَوْبَيْهِ، خُذْ ثَوْبَكَ " وَانْتَهَرَهُ.
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) said that a man entered the mosque while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was on the pulpit on Friday. He (peace and blessings be upon him) called him and ordered him to pray two rak'ahs. Then he entered on the second Friday while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was on the pulpit. He (peace and blessings be upon him) called him and told him to pray two rak'ahs. Then he entered on the third Friday, and he mentioned the same thing, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Give charity, give charity." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him two garments out of what they had given in charity. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Give charity," and the man threw down one of his two garments, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) rebuked him for what he had done. He (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked it. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Look at this man. He entered the mosque in a shabby state, so I called him, and I hoped that you would give him something, give charity to him and clothe him, but you did not do so. Then I said: Give charity, give charity, and I gave him two garments out of what you gave in charity. Then I said: Give charity, and he threw down one of his two garments. Take your garment." And he (peace and blessings be upon him) scolded him.
