Hadith #969
Arabic Text
أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْلَى ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاق ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : بَيْنَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، إِذْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ بِمِثْلِ الْبَيْضَةِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أَصَابَهَا فِي بَعْضِ الْمَغَازِي، قَالَ أَحْمَدُ : فِي بَعْضِ الْمَعَادِنِ، وَهُوَ الصَّوَابُ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، خُذْهَا مِنِّي صَدَقَةً، فَوَاللَّهِ مَا لِي مَالٌ غَيْرَهَا، فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ، ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ عَنْ رُكْنِهِ الْأَيْسَرِ، فَقَالَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَد
َيْهِ، فَقَالَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " هَاتِهَا "، مُغْضَبًا، فَحَذَفَهُ بِهَا حَذْفَةً لَوْ أَصَابَهُ لَأَوْجَعَهُ أَوْ عَقَرَهُ ثُمَّ، قَالَ :" يَعْمِدُ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى مَالِهِ لَا يَمْلِكُ غَيْرَهُ فَيَتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ، ثُمَّ يَقْعُدُ يَتَكَفَّفُ النَّاسَ، إِنَّمَا الصَّدَقَةُ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى، خُذْ الَّذِي لَكَ لَا حَاجَةَ لَنَا بِهِ ". فَأَخَذَ الرَّجُلُ مَالَهُ وَذَهَبَ. قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّد : كَانَ مَالِكٌ يَقُولُ : إِذَا جَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ مَالَهُ فِي الْمَسَاكِينِ يَتَصَدَّقُ بِثُلُثِ مَالِهِ

English Translation
It was narrated from Jabir ibn Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: 'While we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, a man came with something like an egg of gold that he had found in a mining expedition. He said: O Messenger of Allah, take this from me as charity, for by Allah I have no other wealth besides it. He turned away from him. Then the man came to him from his left side and said the same thing. Then he came to him from the front and said the same thing. Then he said: Give it here, angrily, and he threw it at him such that if it had struck him it would have hurt him. Then he said: One of you brings all his wealth — there is nothing else he owns — and gives it in charity, then he sits down and begs from people. Charity is only from a surplus. Take what is yours; we have no need of it.' The man took his wealth and left.
