٧١. عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللّٰهِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَسْجِدَ وَبِيَدِهِ عَصًا وَقَدْ عَلَّقَ رَجُلٌ قَنَا حَشَفًا فَطَعَنَ بِالْعَصَا فِي ذٰلِكَ الْقِنْوِ وَقَالَ:
«لَوْ شَاءَ رَبُّ هٰذِهِ الصَّدَقَةِ تَصَدَّقَ بِأَطْيَبَ مِنْهَا» وَقَالَ: «إِنَّ رَبَّ هٰذِهِ الصَّدَقَةِ يَأْكُلُ الْحَشَفَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ».
71. Awf ibn Malik narrated: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) entered the masjid where we were, and he had a stick in his hand. A man had hung there a bunch of low quality dried dates. He probed the bunch with the stick, and said:
“If the owner of this sadaqah (alms) wished to give a better one than this, he could have done it. The owner of this sadaqah will eat low quality dates on the Day of Judgment.” (Abu Dawud, Zakat, 17/1608)
