4991. It was narrated that 'Abdullāh bin 'Āmir said: "My mother called me one day when the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was sitting in our house, and she said: 'Come here and I will give you something.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to her: 'What do you want to give him?' She said: 'I will give him some dates.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to her: 'If you did not give him anything, it would have been recorded against you as a lie.'" (Ḍa'īf)

4991 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا، مِنْ مَوَالِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ الْعَدَوِيِّ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: دَعَتْنِي أُمِّي يَوْمًا وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَاعِدٌ فِي بَيْتِنَا، فَقَالَتْ: هَا تَعَالَ أُعْطِيكَ، فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «وَمَا أَرَدْتِ أَنْ تُعْطِيهِ؟» قَالَتْ: أُعْطِيهِ تَمْرًا، فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَمَا إِنَّكِ لَوْ لَمْ تُعْطِهِ شَيْئًا كُتِبَتْ عَلَيْكِ كِذْبَةٌ»
