‏ ‏وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ هَذَا ‏ ‏أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏بِتَمْرٍ مِنْ تَمْرِ ‏ ‏الصَّدَقَةِ ‏ ‏فَأَمَرَ فِيهِ بِأَمْرٍ ثُمَّ حَمَلَ ‏ ‏الْحَسَنَ ‏ ‏أَوْ ‏ ‏الْحُسَيْنَ ‏ ‏عَلَى ‏ ‏عَاتِقِهِ ‏ ‏وَإِذَا لُعَابُهُ يَسِيلُ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ يَلُوكُ تَمْرَةً مِنْ تَمْرِ ‏ ‏الصَّدَقَةِ ‏ ‏قَالَ فَقَالَ أَلْقِهَا أَمَا شَعَرْتَ ‏ ‏أَنَّ آلَ ‏ ‏مُحَمَّدٍ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏لَا يَأْكُلُونَ ‏ ‏الصَّدَقَةَ ‏

English Translation

With the same chain: "the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was brought some dates from the charity dates, and he gave instructions regarding them. Then he carried al-Hasan — or al-Husayn — on his shoulder, and his saliva was dripping. He looked at him and found him chewing a date from the charity dates. He said: 'Spit it out! Do you not know that the family of Muhammad (ﷺ) do not eat from charity?'"
