1633. 'Ubaidullāh bin 'Adī bin Al-Khiyār said that two people informed him that they came to the Prophet ﷺ during the Farewell Pilgrimage while he was distributing charity, and asked him for some of it: "So he looked at us carefully, and saw us to be strong (and healthy). He said: 'If you desire, I will give you, but there is no share of it for a rich person, nor for one who is strong and able to earn (for himself).'" (Sahih)
1633 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَدِيِّ بْنِ الْخِيَارِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي رَجُلَانِ: أَنَّهُمَا أَتَيَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ، وَهُوَ يُقَسِّمُ الصَّدَقَةَ، فَسَأَلَاهُ مِنْهَا، فَرَفَعَ فِينَا الْبَصَرَ وَخَفَضَهُ، فَرَآنَا جَلْدَيْنِ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ شِئْتُمَا أَعْطَيْتُكُمَا، وَلَا حَظَّ فِيهَا لِغَنِيٍّ، وَلَا لِقَوِيٍّ مُكْتَسِبٍ»
