ahmad:17972Yaḥyá b. Saʿīd > Hishām from my father > ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿAdī

two men told him, that they came to the Messenger of Allah asking him for charity. He looked from one to the other and he saw that they were strong. The Messenger of Allah said: "If you want, I will give you, but no rich man or one who is strong and able to earn has a share of it." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2598)   

أحمد:١٧٩٧٢حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ هِشَامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي أَنَّ عُبَيْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَدِيٍّ حَدَّثَهُ

أَنَّ رَجُلَيْنِ أَخْبَرَاهُ أَنَّهُمَا أَتَيَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَسْأَلَانِهِ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ فَقَلَّبَ فِيهِمَا الْبَصَرَ وَرَآهُمَا جَلْدَيْنِ فَقَالَ إِنْ شِئْتُمَا أَعْطَيْتُكُمَا وَلَا حَظَّ فِيهَا لِغَنِيٍّ وَلَا لِقَوِيٍّ مُكْتَسِبٍ
