English translation

1627. It was reported from 'Aṭā' bin Yaṣar, from a man from the tribe of Banū Asad that he said: "Once, I encamped with my family at Baqī' Al-Gharqad. My family said to me: 'Go to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and ask him for something that we can eat,' and they started mentioning their needs. So I went to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, but found a man already there, asking of him. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'I don't have anything to give you,' so the man turned away angrily and said: 'I swear, you only give to those whom you want!' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ replied: 'He gets angry at me because I don't have anything to give him! Whoever asks among you while he has one Uqiyyah, then has indeed asked unjustly!'" The man from the tribe of Banū Asad said to himself: "Indeed, our she-camel is more precious than an Uqiyyah." — And Uqiyyah is equal to forty Dirham. — "So he returned, and did not ask for anything. He said: "After that, some barely and raisins were sent to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and he gave us a share of it, until Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime, made us self-sufficient (of asking)." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

1627 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: نَزَلْتُ أَنَا وَأَهْلِي بِبَقِيعِ الْغَرْقَدِ، فَقَالَ لِي أَهْلِي: اذْهَبْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَسَلْهُ لَنَا شَيْئًا نَأْكُلُهُ، فَجَعَلُوا يَذْكُرُونَ مِنْ حَاجَتِهِمْ، فَذَهَبْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَوَجَدْتُ عِنْدَهُ رَجُلًا يَسْأَلُهُ، وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «لَا أَجِدُ مَا أُعْطِيكَ»، فَتَوَلَّى الرَّجُلُ عَنْهُ وَهُوَ مُغْضَبٌ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: لَعَمْرِي إِنَّكَ لَتُعْطِي مَنْ شِئْتَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَغْضَبُ عَلَيَّ أَنْ لَا أَجِدَ مَا أُعْطِيهِ، مَنْ سَأَلَ مِنْكُمْ وَلَهُ أُوقِيَّةٌ، أَوْ عِدْلُهَا، فَقَدْ سَأَلَ إِلْحَافًا»، قَالَ الْأَسَدِيُّ: فَقُلْتُ: لَلِقْحَةٌ لَنَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ أُوقِيَّةٍ - وَالْأُوقِيَّةُ أَرْبَعُونَ دِرْهَمًا - قَالَ: فَرَجَعْتُ وَلَمْ أَسْأَلْهُ، فَقَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ شَعِيرٌ وَزَبِيبٌ، فَقَسَمَ لَنَا مِنْهُ، أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ: حَتَّى أَغْنَانَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: هَكَذَا رَوَاهُ الثَّوْرِيُّ كَمَا قَالَ مَالِكٌ
