حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَكِّيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَيُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الضُّبَعِيُّ السَّدُوسِيُّ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ : " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِشَيْءٍ سَأَلَ أَصَدَقَةٌ هِيَ أَمْ هَدِيَّةٌ ؟ فَإِنْ قَالُوا : صَدَقَةٌ لَمْ يَأْكُلْ ، وَإِنْ قَالُوا : هَدِيَّةٌ أَكَلَ " . قَالَ : وَفِي الْبَاب عَنْ سَلْمَانَ ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، وَأَنَسٍ ، وَالْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ، وَأَبِي عَمِيرَةَ جَدِّ مُعَرِّفِ بْنِ وَاصِلٍ وَاسْمُهُ رُشَيْدُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ، وَمَيْمُونِ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ ، وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، وَأَبِي رَافِعٍ ، وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ . وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ أَيْضًا ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَقِيلٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَجَدُّ بَهْزِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ اسْمُهُ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ حَيْدَةَ الْقُشَيْرِيُّ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : وَحَدِيثُ بَهْزِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ .
´Bahz bin Hakim narrated from his father, from his grandfather who said:` "When something was brought to him, the Messenger of Allah would ask: 'Is this charity or a gift?' If they said: 'Charity.' He would not eat it, and if they said, 'A gift' he would eat it."

Brief Explanation
1؎: The difference between charity (sadaqah) and a gift (hadiyyah) is that with charity, the reward of the Hereafter is intended, and the giver is considered honorable while the recipient is regarded as lowly and in need. In contrast, with a gift, the purpose is to seek closeness to the one to whom it is given, and in the eyes of the giver, it indicates the honor and esteem of the recipient.

Urdu marginal note:
You yourself are the principal example in abstaining from charity, so that there remains no room for objection regarding any impropriety. The family of the Prophet, being your descendants, are included in this ruling. It is possible that the purpose of the chapter is to show that even voluntary charities (nafl sadaqat) were not lawful for the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), whereas for the noble wives (azwaj mutahharat, radi Allahu anhunna), voluntary charities were lawful, as is established by many ahadith.
