[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was in my house when a man came and said, "O Messenger of Allah, how much is the charity for such and such?" He replied, "It is this much and this much." The man said, "But so-and-so exceeded in giving to me." They looked into it and found that he had exceeded by a Sa' (a measurement). The Prophet ﷺ said, "So what would you think of yourselves when someone exceeds his limits in dealing with you, more than this exceeding?"  

أحمد:٢٦٥٧٤حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ عَدِيٍّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِحُسَيْنٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَتْنَا أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي بَيْتِي فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَمْ صَدَقَةُ كَذَا وَكَذَا؟ قَالَ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ فَإِنَّ فُلَانًا تَعَدَّى عَلَيَّ قَالَ فَنَظَرُوهُ فَوَجَدُوهُ قَدْ تَعَدَّى بِصَاعٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَكَيْفَ بِكُمْ إِذَا سَعَى مَنْ يَتَعَدَّى عَلَيْكُمْ أَشَدَّ مِنْ هَذَا التَّعَدِّي؟
