أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ عِيَاضٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَرْحٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ
إِنَّ رَجُلًا دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ فَقَالَ «صَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ» ثُمَّ جَاءَ الْجُمُعَةَ الثَّانِيَةَ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ فَقَالَ «صَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ» ثُمَّ جَاءَ الْجُمُعَةَ الثَّالِثَةَ فَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ «صَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ تَصَدَّقُوا فَتَصَدَّقُوا فَأَعْطَاهُ ثَوْبَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «تَصَدَّقُوا» فَطَرَحَ أَحَدَ ثَوْبَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَلَمْ تَرَوْا إِلَى هَذَا الرَّجُلِ؟ إِنَّهُ دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فِي هَيْئَةٍ بَذَّةٍ فَرَجَوْتُ أَنْ تَفْطِنُوا لَهُ فَتَصَدَّقُوا عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ تَفْعَلُوا فَقُلْتُ تَصَدَّقُوا فَتَصَدَّقْتُمْ فَأَعْطَيْتُهُ ثَوْبَيْنِ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ تَصَدَّقُوا فَطَرَحَ أَحَدَ ثَوْبَيْهِ خُذْ ثَوْبَكَ وَانْتَهَرَهُ

✧ A man entered the mosque on Friday while the Messenger of God ﷺ was delivering the sermon, and he said: "Pray two rak'ahs." Then he came the next Friday while the Prophet ﷺ was delivering the sermon, and he said: "Pray two rak'ahs." Then he came the third Friday, and he ﷺ said: "Pray two rak'ahs." Then he said: "Give charity." They gave charity, and he gave the man two garments. Then he said: "Give charity," and the man threw down one of his two garments. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: "Did you not see this man? He entered the mosque in shabby condition, and I hoped that you would notice him and give him charity, but you did not. So I said, 'Give charity,' and you gave, and I gave him two garments. Then I said, 'Give charity,' and he threw down one of his two garments. Take your garment!" and he rebuked him.
