[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us carrying a staff, and in the mosque there were hanging gourds with water in them. He struck the gourd with the staff he was holding, and said, "If Allah wills, this charity will donate with something better than it. Indeed, the Lord of this charity will eat the watermelon on the Day of Judgment." He then turned towards us and said, "By Allah, O people of Madinah, you will leave it for forty years for the sick ones." I said, "Allah knows best." He said, "I mean the birds and the animals." He said, "And we used to say, 'Indeed, this is for the one called the Ajam.' It is the melon."  

خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ الْعَصَا وَفِي الْمَسْجِدِ أَقْنَاءٌ مُعَلَّقَةٌ فِيهَا قِنْوٌ فِيهِ حَشَفٌ فَغَمَزَ الْقِنْوَ بِالْعَصَا الَّتِي فِي يَدِهِ قَالَ لَوْ شَاءَ رَبُّ هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَةِ تَصَدَّقَ بِأَطْيَبَ مِنْهَا إِنَّ رَبَّ هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَةِ لَيَأْكُلُ الْحَشَفَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ أَمَا وَاللهِ يَا أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ لَتَدَعُنَّهَا أَرْبَعِينَ عَامًا لِلْعَوَافِي قَالَ فَقُلْتُ اللهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ يَعْنِي الطَّيْرَ وَالسِّبَاعَ قَالَ وَكُنَّا نَقُولُ إِنَّ هَذَا لَلَّذِي تُسَمِّيهِ الْعَجَمُ هِيَ الْكَرَاكِيُّ  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to them and there were hanging dates and Qanwa (a bag made of camel wool) containing dates, and he had a stick with him. He stabbed the stick into the Qanwa and said, "If Allah had willed, this charity would have given better and more delicious dates than these. Indeed, the one who consumes the dates from this charity on the Day of Resurrection will be satisfied." Then he turned to us and said, "By Allah, O people of Al-Madinah, you will remain in dire need for forty years." We said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do you know what 'Al-Awaf' means?" We said, "No, we do not know." He said, "Birds and wild animals."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَقْنَاءُ مُعَلَّقَةٌ وَقِنْوٌ مِنْهَا حَشَفٌ وَمَعَهُ عَصًا فَطَعَنَ بِالْعَصَا فِي الْقِنْوِ وَقَالَ «لَوْ شَاءَ رَبُّ هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَةِ تَصَدَّقَ بِأَطْيَبَ مِنْهَا إِنَّ صَاحِبَ هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَةِ يَأْكُلُ الْحَشَفَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ» ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ «أَمَا وَاللَّهِ يَا أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ لَتَدَعُنَّهَا مُذَلَّلَةً أَرْبَعِينَ عَامًا لِلْعَوَافِي» قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَتَدْرُونَ مَا الْعَوَافِي؟» قَالُوا لَا قَالَ «الطَّيْرُ وَالسِّبَاعُ»  

[Machine] Amr bin Abi Aasim An-Nabeel narrated to us, he said: my father narrated to us, he said: Abdullah bin Hameed bin Jafar narrated to us, he said: Saleh bin Abi Urayb narrated to us, from Kathir bin Murrah, from Auf bin Malik Al-Ashja'i, he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us with a stick in his hand and hanging on it were scraps. One of them was a piece of cloth. He stabbed the stick in the scrap, and then he said: "If Allah had willed, He could have given this charity with something better than it. Indeed, the one who owns this charity would eat this piece of cloth on the Day of Resurrection." Then, he turned towards us and said: "By Allah, O people of Madinah, you will soon leave it for the diseases. Do you know what diseases are?" We said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said: "Birds and beasts."

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ entered the mosque with a stick in his hand. He saw hanging water bags, so he pierced one of them and found water inside. He said, "Who is the owner of this? If he gives charity of something better than this, then the owner of this will eat from it on the Day of Resurrection." Then he said, "O people of Madinah, leave it for the birds and animals for forty years." It was asked, "What are the birds and animals?" He said, "Birds and beasts."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ وَبِيَدِهِ عَصًا فَرَأَى أَقْنَاءً مُعَلَّقَةً فَطَعَنَ فِي قِنْوٍ مِنْهَا فَإِذَا فِيهِ حَشَفٌ فَقَالَ «مَنْ صَاحِبُ هَذَا؟ لَوْ تَصَدَّقَ بِأَطْيَبِ مِنْهُ إِنَّ صَاحِبَ هَذَا لِيَأْكُلُ الْحَشَفَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ لَتَدَعُنَّهَا لِلْعَوَافِي أَرْبَعِينَ عَامًا» قِيلَ وَمَا الْعَوَافِي؟ قَالَ «الطَّيْرُ وَالسِّبَاعُ»  

ثنا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ النَّبِيلُ ثنا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنِي صَالِحُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرِيبٍ عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ عَصًا فَإِذَا أَقْنَاءُ مُعَلَّقَةٌ قِنْوٌ مِنْهَا حَشَفٌ فَطَعَنَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْقِنْوِ وَقَالَ مَا ضَرَّ صَاحِبُ هَذِهِ لَوْ تَصَدَّقَ بِأَطْيَبَ مِنْ هَذِهِ إِنَّ صَاحِبَ هَذِهِ لَيَأْكُلُ الْحَشَفَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَاللهِ لَتَدَعُنَّهَا مُذَلَّلَةً أَرْبَعِينَ عَامًا لِلْعَوَافِي ثُمَّ قَالَ أَتَدْرُونَ مَا الْعَوَافِي؟ قَالُوا اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ الطَّيْرُ وَالسِّبَاعُ  

"مَا ضَرَّ صَاحبَ هَذِهِ لَوْ تَصَدَّقَ بِأَطْيَبَ مِن هَذِهِ! إِنَّ صَاحِبَ هَذِهِ لَيَأكُلُ الْحَشَفَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَالله لَيَدَعَنَّهَا مُذَلَّلَةً أَرْبَعِينَ عَامًا لِلْعَوَافِى، أَتَدْرُونَ مَا الْعَوَافِى؟ أَتَدْرُونَ مَا الْعَوَافِى؟ الطَّيرُ وَالسِّبَاعُ".
