حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ أَنَّ رَجُلاً مِنْ مَوَالِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ الْعَدَوِيِّ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ

دَعَتْنِي أُمِّي يَوْمًا وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَاعِدٌ فِي بَيْتِنَا فَقَالَتْ هَا تَعَالَ أُعْطِيكَ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَمَا أَرَدْتِ أَنْ تُعْطِيهِ قَالَتْ أُعْطِيهِ تَمْرًا فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَا إِنَّكِ لَوْ لَمْ تُعْطِيهِ شَيْئًا كُتِبَتْ عَلَيْكِ كِذْبَةٌ

My mother called me one day when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting in our house. She said: Come here and I shall give you something. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked her: What did you intend to give him? She replied: I intended to give him some dates. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: If you were not to give him anything, a lie would be recorded against you.
