أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ الْمُوصِلِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا قَاسِمٌ الْجَرْمِيُّ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ
لَمَّا أُنْزِلَتْ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنْوا إِذَا نَاجَيْتُمُ} [المجادلة 12] الرَّسُولَ فَقَدِّمُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ نَجْوَاكُمْ صَدَقَةً قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِعَلِيٍّ «مُرْهُمْ أَنْ يَتَصَدَّقُوا» قَالَ بِكَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «بِدِينَارٍ» قَالَ لَا يُطِيقُونَ قَالَ «فَنِصْفِ دِينَارٍ» قَالَ لَا يُطِيقُونَ قَالَ «فَبِكَمْ؟» قَالَ بِشَعِيرَةٍ قَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّكَ لَزَهِيدٌ» فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى {أَأَشْفَقْتُمْ أَنْ تُقَدِّمُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ نَجْوَاكُمْ} [المجادلة 13] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ وَكَانَ عَلِيٌّ يَقُولُ «بِي خُفِّفَ عَنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ»

✧ When {O you who believe, when you consult the Messenger} [al-Mujadilah: 12] was revealed—"then offer something in charity before your consultation"—the Messenger of God ﷺ said to 'Ali: "Command them to give charity." He said: How much, O Messenger of God? He said: "A dinar." He said: They cannot bear it. He said: "Then half a dinar." He said: They cannot bear it. He said: "Then how much?" He said: A barley grain. The Messenger of God ﷺ said to him: "Indeed, you are abstemious." Then God, Most High, revealed: {Are you afraid to offer charity before your consultation?} [al-Mujadilah: 13] to the end of the verse. And 'Ali used to say: "Through me the burden was lightened for this nation."
