أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْلَى وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ
بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذْ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ بِمِثْلِ الْبَيْضَةِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أَصَابَهَا فِي بَعْضِ الْمَغَازِي قَالَ أَحْمَدُ فِي بَعْضِ الْمَعَادِنِ وَهُوَ الصَّوَابُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ خُذْهَا مِنِّي صَدَقَةً فَوَاللَّهِ مَا لِي مَالٌ غَيْرَهَا فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ عَنْ رُكْنِهِ الْأَيْسَرِ فَقَالَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «هَاتِهَا» مُغْضَبًا فَحَذَفَهُ بِهَا حَذْفَةً لَوْ أَصَابَهُ لَأَوْجَعَهُ أَوْ عَقَرَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَعْمِدُ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى مَالِهِ لَا يَمْلِكُ غَيْرَهُ فَيَتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ ثُمَّ يَقْعُدُ يَتَكَفَّفُ النَّاسَ إِنَّمَا الصَّدَقَةُ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى خُذِ الَّذِي لَكَ لَا حَاجَةَ لَنَا بِهِ» فَأَخَذَ الرَّجُلُ مَالَهُ وَذَهَبَ

✧ While we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, a man came to him with an egg-sized piece of gold, some of which he acquired from battles. Ahmad Ibn Hanbal stated that it is from minerals, and this is correct. The man said, "O Messenger of Allah, take this as charity from me. By Allah, I have no wealth other than this." The Prophet turned away from him. Then he came to him from his left side and said the same. He came to him from in front of him and said the same. Then he said, "Give it to me," angrily. The Prophet threw it at him, striking him with it. If it had hit him, it would have hurt or even injured him. Then he said, "One of you may intentionally give away his wealth when he does not own anything else, then sit amongst the people as if he is poor. Charity is only appropriate for those who possess excess wealth. Take what is rightfully yours, as we have no need for it." So the man took his wealth and left. Abu Muhammad stated that Malik used to say, "When a person gives away a third of his wealth to the poor, it is considered charity."
