1415. Narrated Abū Mas’ūd رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: When the Verses of charity were revealed, we used to work as porters. A man came and distributed objects of charity in a great amount. And they (the people) said, “He is showing off.” And another man came and gave a Sā’ (a small measure of food grains); they said, “Allāh is not in need of this small amount of charity.” And then the Divine Revelation came: “Those who defame such of the believers who give in charity (in Allāh’s Cause) voluntarily, and such who could not find to give in charity (in Allāh's Cause) except what is available to them..." (V.9:79).
