1673. Jābir bin 'Abdullāh narrated: "We were once sitting with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ when a man came to him with some gold, the size of an egg. He said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, I obtained this from a mine, so take it as charity — I own nothing else besides it!' But the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ turned away from him. The man then came to him from his right hand side, and repeated what he had said, but he turned away from him. The man then came to him from his left hand side, but he turned away from him. He then came to him from behind him, so the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ took it from him and threw it at him — had it hit him, it would have been painful, or caused a wound. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ then said: 'One of you comes with all that he has, and says: "This is charity!" and then sits, stretching forth his hands (begging) of people? The best charity is that which leaves one self-sufficient.'" (Da'if)

1673 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ بِمِثْلِ بَيْضَةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَصَبْتُ هَذِهِ مِنْ مَعْدِنٍ، فَخُذْهَا فَهِيَ صَدَقَةٌ، مَا أَمْلِكُ غَيْرَهَا، فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ رُكْنِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ، فَقَالَ: مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ رُكْنِهِ الْأَيْسَرِ، فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ، فَأَخَذَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَحَذَفَهُ بِهَا، فَلَوْ أَصَابَتْهُ لَأَوْجَعَتْهُ، أَوْ لَعَقَرَتْهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " يَأْتِي أَحَدُكُمْ بِمَا يَمْلِكُ، فَيَقُولُ: هَذِهِ صَدَقَةٌ، ثُمَّ يَقْعُدُ يَسْتَكِفُّ النَّاسَ، خَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا كَانَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى "،
