b. To Hurry up in Giving Charity

٦٧. عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ: دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللّٰهِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ سَاهِمُ الْوَجْهِ قَالَتْ فَحَسِبْتُ أَنَّ ذٰلِكَ مِنْ وَجَعٍ فَقُلْتُ:

«يَا نَبِيَّ اللّٰهِ مَا لَكَ سَاهِمُ الْوَجْهِ؟» قَالَ:

«مِنْ أَجْلِ الدَّنَانِيرِ السَّبْعَةِ الَّتِي أَتَتْنَا أَمْسِ. أَمْسَيْنَا وَهِيَ فِي خُصْمِ الْفِرَاشِ».

67. Ummu Salama (r.a.) narrated:

One day, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) came to me and the color of his face was changed. I thought that he had an ache and asked:

“O Messenger of Allah, what happened, why is you face like that, its color has changed?”

Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) said:

“I am in this state because of the seven dinars that we received yesterday. It is almost evening and they are still under the bad (we did not have a chance to donate them yet!)” (Ahmad, VI, 293; Haythami, X, 238)
