Sunan Abu Dawud #2218

Divorce (Kitab Al-Talaq)
Sahih

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ السَّرْحِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، وَعَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ الأَشَجِّ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، بِهَذَا الْخَبَرِ قَالَ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِتَمْرٍ فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ وَهُوَ قَرِيبٌ مِنْ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا قَالَ ‏"‏ تَصَدَّقْ بِهَذَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلَى أَفْقَرَ مِنِّي وَمِنْ أَهْلِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ كُلْهُ أَنْتَ وَأَهْلُكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏
The tradition mentioned above has been transmitted by Sulaiman bin Yasar. This version has “Then some dates were brought to the Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) and he gave it him. They measured about fifteen sa’s “. He said “Give them in alms”. He said “Is there anyone needier than I and my family. Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ)?” The Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) said “Eat them, you and your family.”

Context

This hadith recounts an interaction between the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and a man who was hesitant to give away dates in charity, believing he and his family were in need. The Prophet ﷺ reassured him that he and his family could consume the dates, emphasizing the importance of charity and generosity even when one feels financially constrained. The lesson here is about the spirit of giving.

Modern Application

In modern life, this principle encourages us to practice generosity, even when we feel we have little to give. Acts of kindness, whether through sharing food or resources, can uplift both the giver and the receiver, fostering a sense of community and support.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Charity and Hospitality in Islam because it illustrates the importance of giving and sharing, even when one feels they are in need themselves.
