الْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ عَنِ ابْنِ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ قَالَ نَزَلْتُ أَنَا وَأَهْلِي بِبَقِيعِ الْغَرْقَدِ فَقَالَ
لِي أَهْلِي اذْهَبْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَاسْأَلْهُ لَنَا شَيْئًا نَأْكُلُهُ فَذَهَبْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَوَجَدْتُ عِنْدَهُ رَجُلًا يَسْأَلُهُ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا أَجِدُ مَا أُعْطِيكَ» فَوَلَّى الرَّجُلُ عَنْهُ وَهُوَ مُغْضَبٌ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ لَعَمْرِي إِنَّكَ لَتُعْطِي مَنْ شِئْتَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّهُ لَيَغْضَبُ عَلَيَّ أَنْ لَا أَجِدَ مَا أُعْطِيهِ مَنْ سَأَلَ مِنْكُمْ وَلَهُ وُقِيَّةٌ أَوْ عِدْلُهَا فَقَدْ سَأَلَ إِلْحَافًا» قَالَ الْأَسَدِيُّ فَقُلْتُ لَلَقْحَةٌ لَنَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ وُقِيَّةٍ وَالْأُوقِيَّةُ أَرْبَعُونَ دِرْهَمًا فَرَجَعْتُ وَلَمْ أَسْأَلْهُ فَقَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ شَعِيرٌ وَزَبِيبٌ «فَقَسَّمَ لَنَا مِنْهُ حَتَّى أَغْنَانَا اللهُ»

✧ My family said to me, “Go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and ask him for something for us to eat.” So I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and found a man with him asking him, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was saying, “I do not find anything to give you.” The man turned away from him angry, saying, “By my life, you give to whomever you wish.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “He is angry with me because I do not find anything to give him. Whoever among you asks while he has an ūqiyyah or its equivalent has asked importunately.” Al-Asadī said: I said, “A milch-camel of ours is better than an ūqiyyah, and the ūqiyyah is forty dirhams.” So I returned and did not ask him. Later, barley and raisins came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he distributed some of it to us until Allah enriched us.
