Give Sadaqa for a time is about to come when a person would walk with alms and the one whom it is to be given would say: Had you brought it yesterday, I would have accepted it. For the present I do not need it. (And the giver of Sadaqa) I would not find anyone to accept it. (Using translation from Muslim 1011)  

أحمد:١٨٧٢٦حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حَارِثَةَ بْنَ وَهْبٍ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ تَصَدَّقُوا فَيُوشِكُ الرَّجُلُ يَمْشِي بِصَدَقَتِهِ فَيَقُولُ الَّذِي أُعْطِيَهَا لَوْ جِئْتَ بِهَا بِالْأَمْسِ قَبِلْتُهَا وَأَمَّا الْآنَ فَلَا حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهَا فَلَا يَجِدُ مَنْ يَقْبَلُهَا

I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "O people! Give in charity as a time will come upon you when a person will wander about with his object of charity and will not find anybody to accept it, and one (who will be requested to take it) will say, "If you had brought it yesterday, would have taken it, but today I am not in need of it."
