665. 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Bujaid narrated from his grandmother; Umm Bujaid – and she was one of those who gave the pledge to the Prophet ﷺ – she said to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ: "There is a needy person who stands outside my door, but I cannot find anything to give to him." So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to her: "If you do not find anything to give him
except a burnt trotter then hand it over to him.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)
(He said:) There are narrations on this topic from ‘Ali, Ḥusain bin ‘Ali, Abū Hurairah, and Abū Umāmah. Abū ‘Eisā said: The Hadīth of Umm Bujaid is a Ḥasan Hadīth.
