" عَنْ عبيدة السلمانِى قَالَ: سَألتُ عَلِى بْنَ أَبِى طَالِبٍ عَنْ قَوْلِ الله - عزوجَل - {يَاأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنْفِقُوا مِنْ طَيِّبَاتِ مَا كَسَبْتُمْ} الآية فَقالَ: نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ فِى الزكَاة المَفْروضَةِ، كَانَ الرَّجلُ يَعْمَدُ إِلَى التَّمرِ فَيَصْرِمُهُ فَيَعْزِلُ الجيدَ نَاحِيَة فَإِذَا جَاءَ صَاحِبُ الصَّدَقَةِ أَعْطَاهُ مِنَ الردئ فَقَالَ الله: {وَلَا تَيَمَّمُوا الْخَبِيثَ مِنْهُ تُنْفِقُونَ وَلَسْتُمْ بِآخِذِيهِ إِلَّا أَنْ تُغْمِضُوا فِيهِ} ويَقُولُ: وَلاَ يَأخذُ أَحَدُكُمْ هَذَا الردئَ حَتَّى يَهْضِمَ لَه".

"From Ubaydah al-Salmani, who said: I asked Ali ibn Abi Talib about the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: {O you who have believed, spend of the good things you have earned} to the end of the verse. He said: This verse was revealed concerning the obligatory zakat. A man would go to his dates, cut them, and set aside the good ones to one side. Then when the collector of charity came, he would give him from the bad ones. Allah said: {And do not intend the bad of it to spend, while you would not take it yourselves except with disregard for it}. And he said: None of you would take this bad one unless it were reduced for him."
