1821. It was narrated that 'Awf bin Mâlik Al-Ashja'i said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ went out, and a man had hung up one or more bunches of dates. He (the Prophet ﷺ) had a stick in his hand and he started hitting that bunch of dates repeatedly, saying: 'If the owner of these dates wanted to give in charity, he should have given something better than these. The owner of this charity will eat rotten and shriveled dates on the Day of Resurrection.'" (Hasan)
1821 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ بَكْرُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي صَالِحُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرِيبٍ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ، قَالَ: خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَقَدْ عَلَّقَ رَجُلٌ أَقْنَاءً، أَوْ قِنْوًا، وَبِيَدِهِ عَصًا، فَجَعَلَ يَطْعَنُ يُدَقْدِقُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْقِنْوِ وَيَقُولُ: «لَوْ شَاءَ رَبُّ هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَةِ تَصَدَّقَ بِأَطْيَبَ مِنْهَا، إِنَّ رَبَّ هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَةِ يَأْكُلُ الْحَشَفَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»

a. A rope was tied between two pillars of the Prophet's Mosque, and the people would hang bunches of date fruit on it; whoever was in need might eat as wished. The following Hadith is clear about it. b. It is not necessary that the charity be given in the hand of the needy, rather it may be placed somewhere in such a way that everyone is allowed to benefit from it. c. The owner who does not have something of better quality may give something of low quality in charity.
