That was the part of Satan in thee. And then he washed it with the water of Zamzam in a golden basin and then it was joined together and restored to it place. The boys came running to his mother, i. e. his nurse, and said: Verily Muhammad has been murdered. They all rushed toward him (and found him all right) His color was changed, Anas said. I myself saw the marks of needle on his breast. (Using translation from Muslim 162c)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَتَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ وَهُوَ يَلْعَبُ مَعَ الْغِلْمَانِ فَأَخَذَهُ فَصَرَعَهُ فَشَقَّ قَلْبَهُ فَاسْتَخْرَجَ مِنْهُ عَلَقَةً فَقَالَ «هَذَا حَظُّ الشَّيْطَانِ مِنْكَ ثُمَّ غَسَلَهُ فِي طَسْتٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ بِمَاءِ زَمْزَمَ ثُمَّ لَأَمَهُ ثُمَّ أَعَادَهُ فِي مَكَانِهِ وَجَاءَ الْغِلْمَانُ يَسْعَوْنَ إِلَى أُمِّهِ يَعْنِي ظِئْرَهُ فَقَالُوا إِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا قَدْ قُتِلَ فَاسْتَقْبَلُوهُ مُنْتَقِعَ اللَّوْنِ قَالَ أَنَسٌ قَدْ كُنْتُ أَرَى أَثَرَ ذَلِكَ الْمِخْيَطِ فِي صَدْرِهِ ﷺ»

[Machine] "that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was approached by Gabriel while he was playing with children, and Gabriel took hold of him and pressed him until his heart was split open, and then he extracted a blood clot from it, saying: 'This is the portion of Satan from you.'"  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَتَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَهُوَ يَلْعَبُ مَعَ الصِّبْيَانِ فَأَخَذَهُ فَصَرَعَهُ فَشَقَّ قَلْبَهُ فَاسْتَخْرَجَ مِنْهُ عَلَقَةً فَقَالَ هَذَا حَظُّ الشَّيْطَانِ مِنْكَ ثُمَّ غَسَلَهُ فِي طَسْتٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ بِمَاءِ زَمْزَمَ ثُمَّ أَعَادَهُ فِي مَكَانِهِ فَجَاءَهُ الْغِلْمَانُ يَسْعَوْنَ إِلَى أُمِّهِ يَعْنِي ظِئْرَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا قَدْ قُتِلَ فَاسْتَقْبَلُوهُ مُنْتَقِعَ اللَّوْنِ»  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do you consider or see that my face is towards the Qibla? By Allah, neither your submissiveness nor your bowing is hidden from me, surely I see you from my back." (Using translation from Bukhārī 418)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «هَلْ تَرَوْنَ قِبْلَتِي هَا هُنَا؟ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا يَخْفَى عَلَيَّ خُشُوعُكُمْ وَلَا رُكُوعُكُمْ وَإِنِّي لَأَرَاكُمْ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ظَهْرِي»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Verily, I look at what is behind me as I look at what is in front of me. So straighten your rows and perfect your bowing and prostration."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنِّي لَأَنْظُرُ إِلَى مَا وَرَائِي كَمَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَى مَا بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ فَأَقِيمُوا صُفُوفَكُمْ وَحَسِّنُوا رُكُوعَكُمْ وَسُجُودَكُمْ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said: Stand close together in your rows, bring them near one another, and stand neck to neck, for by Him in Whose hand my soul is, I see the devil coming in through openings in the row just like a small black sheep. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 667)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «رُصُّوا صُفُوفَكُمْ وَقَارِبُوا بَيْنَهَا وَحَاذُوا بِالْأَعْنَاقِ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنِّي لَأَرَى الشَّيْطَانَ يَدْخُلُ مِنْ خَلَلِ الصُّفُوفِ كَأَنَّهَا الْحَذْفُ»  

[Machine] "Are you not in food and drink whatever you desire?"  

«أَلَسْتُمْ فِي طَعَامٍ وَشَرَابٍ مَا شِئْتُمْ؟  

[Machine] I heard him saying, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to find only a handful of dates to fill his stomach when he was hungry."  

سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا يَجِدُ مِنَ الدَّقَلِ مَا يَمْلَأُ بَطْنَهُ وَهُوَ جَائِعٌ»  

I heard Nu'man deliver an address in which he said that (Hadrat) Umar made a mention of what had fallen to the lot of people out of the material world and he said: I saw Messenger of Allah ﷺ spend the whole day being upset because of hunger and he could not get even an interior quality of dates with which he could fill his belly. (Using translation from Muslim 2978)   

عُمَرُ وَذَكَرَ مَا أَصَابَ النَّاسَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا «لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَلْتَوِي وَمَا يَجِدُ مِنَ الدَّقَلِ مَا يَمْلَأُ بَطْنَهُ»  

“O Allah, make the provision of the family of Muhammad sufficient for them.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4139)   

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ رِزْقَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَفَافًا»  

“O Allah, make the provision of the family of Muhammad sufficient for them.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4139)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ رِزْقَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ قُوتًا»  

[Machine] The family of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ would not feel satisfied from eating only one food three times, except for the two black dates and water.  

«مَا شَبِعَ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ مِنْ طَعَامٍ وَاحِدٍ ثَلَاثًا حَتَّى قُبِضَ ﷺ إِلَّا الْأَسْوَدَيْنِ التَّمْرَ وَالْمَاءَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ never had his fill of barley bread for three consecutive days until he passed away.  

«مَا أَشْبَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَهْلَهُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ تِبَاعًا مِنْ خُبْزِ الْبُرِّ حَتَّى فَارَقَ الدُّنْيَا»  

I asked Sahl bin Saʿd, "Did Messenger of Allah ﷺ ever eat white flour?" Sahl said, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ never saw white flour since Allah sent him as an Apostle till He took him unto Him." I asked, "Did the people have (use) sieves during the lifetime of Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" Sahl said, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ never saw (used) a sieve since Allah sent him as an Apostle until He took him unto Him," I said, "How could you eat barley unsifted?" he said, "We used to grind it and then blow off its husk, and after the husk flew away, we used to prepare the dough (bake) and eat it." (Using translation from Bukhārī 5413)  

سَأَلْتُ سَهْلَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيَّ فَقُلْتُ هَلْ أَكَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ النَّقِيَّ؟ فَقَالَ سَهْلٌ «مَا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ النَّقِيَّ مِنْ حِينِ ابْتَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ» قَالَ فَقُلْتُ هَلْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنَاخِلُ؟ قَالَ «مَا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُنْخُلًا مِنْ حِينِ ابْتَعَثَهُ حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ» قُلْتُ كَيْفَ كُنْتُمْ تَأْكُلُونَ الشَّعِيرَ غَيْرَ مَنْخُولٍ؟ قَالَ « كُنَّا نَطْحَنُهُ فَنَنْفُخُهُ فَيَطِيرُ مَا طَارَ وَمَا بَقِيَ ثَرَّيْنَاهُ فَأَكَلْنَاهُ»  

Son of my sister, by Allah, I used to see the new moon, then the new moon, then the new moon, i. e. three moons in two months, and fire was not kindled in the house of Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I ('Urwa) said: Auntie, then what were your means of sustenance? She said: Dates and water. But it (so happened) that Messenger of Allah ﷺ had some Ansar as his neighbours and they had milch animals and they used to send to Messenger of Allah ﷺ some milk of their (animals) and he served that to us. (Using translation from Muslim 2972c)   

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ «إِنْ كُنَّا لَنَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْهِلَالِ ثُمَّ الْهِلَالِ ثُمَّ الْهِلَالِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَهِلَّةٍ فِي شَهْرَيْنِ وَمَا أُوقِدَتْ فِي بُيُوتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَارٌ» قُلْتُ يَا خَالَةُ فِيمَا كَانَ يُعَيِّشُكُمْ؟ قَالَتْ «الْأَسْوَدَانِ التَّمْرُ وَالْمَاءُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ كَانَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ جِيرَانَ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ نِعْمَ الْجِيرَانُ كَانَتْ لَهُمْ مَنَائِحُ فَكَانُوا يَمْنَحُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا فَكَانَ يَسْتَقِينَا مِنْهُ»  

[Machine] The Prophet of Allah ﷺ once said, "One day, no measure of wheat nor measure of dates was found in the household of Muhammad."  

أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ «مَا أَصْبَحَ فِي آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَاعُ بُرٍّ وَلَا صَاعُ تَمْرٍ»  

[Machine] And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, if I had one pound of gold, I would have loved that it would not remain with me for three nights, and I have a dinar with me that I cannot find anyone to accept it from me as there is nothing remaining for me to pay off debts."  

وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَوْ كَانَ عِنْدِي أُحُدٌ ذَهَبًا لَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ لَا يَأْتِي عَلَيَّ ثَلَاثٌ وَعِنْدِي مِنْهُ دِينَارٌ لَا أَجِدُ مَنْ يَتَقَبَّلَهُ مِنِّي لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ أَرْصُدُهُ لِدَيْنٍ عَلَيَّ»  

I met Bilal, the Mu'adhdhin of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at Aleppo, and said: Bilal, tell me, what was the financial position of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? He said: He had nothing. It was I who managed it on his behalf since the day Allah made him Prophet of Allah ﷺ until he died. When a Muslim man came to him and he found him naked, he ordered me (to clothe him). I would go, borrow (some money), and purchase a cloak for him. I would then clothe him and feed him. A man from the polytheists met me and said: I am well off, Bilal. Do not borrow money from anyone except me. So I did accordingly. One day when I performed ablution and stood up to make call to prayer, the same polytheist came along with a body of merchants. When he saw me, he said: O Abyssinian. I said: I am at your service. He met me with unpleasant looks and said harsh words to me. He asked me: Do you know how many days remain in the completion of this month? I replied: The time is near. He said: Only four days remain in the completion of this month. I shall then take that which is due from you (i.e. loan), and then shall return you to tend the sheep as you did before. I began to think in my mind what people think in their minds (on such occasions). When I offered the night prayer, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned to his family. I sought permission from him and he gave me permission. I said: Messenger of Allah, may my parents be sacrificed for you, the polytheist from whom I used to borrow money said to me such-and-such. Neither you nor I have anything to pay him for me, and he will disgrace me. So give me permission to run away to some of those tribes who have recently embraced Islam until Allah gives His Apostle ﷺ something with which he can pay (the debt) for me. So I came out and reached my house. I placed my sword, waterskin (or sheath), shoes and shield near my head. When dawn broke, I intended to be on my way. All of a sudden I saw a man running towards me and calling: Bilal, return to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. So I went till I reached him. I found four mounts kneeling on the ground with loads on them. I sought permission. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: Be glad, Allah has made arrangements for the payment (of your debt). He then asked: Have you not seen the four mounts kneeling on the ground? I replied: Yes. He said: You may have these mounts and what they have on them. There are clothes and food on them, presented to me by the ruler of Fadak. Take them away and pay off your debt. I did so. He then mentioned the rest of the tradition. I then went to the mosque and found that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting there. I greeted him. He asked: What benefit did you have from your property? I replied: Allah Most High paid everything which was due from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Nothing remains now. He asked: Did anything remain (from that property)? I said: Yes. He said: Look, if you can give me some comfort from it, for I shall not visit any member of my family until you give me some comfort from it. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered the night prayer, he called me and said: What is the position of that which you had with you (i.e. property)? I said: I still have it, no one came to me. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed the night in the mosque. He then narrated the rest of the tradition. Next day when he offered the night prayer, he called me and asked: What is the position of that which you had (i.e. the rest of the property)? I replied: Allah has given you comfort from it, Messenger of Allah. He said: Allah is Most Great, and praised Allah, fearing lest he should die while it was with him. I then followed him until he came to his wives and greeted each one of them and finally he came to his place where he had to pass the night. This is all for which you asked me.

لَقِيتُ بِلَالًا مُؤَذِّنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا بِلَالُ أَخْبِرْنِي كَيْفَ كَانَتْ نَفَقَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ مَا كَانَ لَهُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ وَكُنْتُ أَنَا الَّذِي أَلِي ذَلِكَ مُنْذُ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ حَتَّى تُوُفِّيَ ﷺ فَكَانَ إِذَا أَتَاهُ الْإِنْسَانُ الْمُسْلِمُ فَرَآهُ عَارِيًا يَأْمُرُنِي فَأَنْطَلِقُ فَأَسْتَقْرِضُ فَأَشْتَرِي الْبُرْدَةَ أَوِ النَّمِرَةَ فَأَكْسُوهُ وَأُطْعِمُهُ حَتَّى اعْتَرَضَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَقَالَ يَا بِلَالُ إِنَّ عِنْدِي سَعَةً فَلَا تَسْتَقْرِضْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا مِنِّي فَفَعَلْتُ فَلَمَّا كَانَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ تَوَضَّأْتُ ثُمَّ قُمْتُ أُؤَذِّنُ بِالصَّلَاةِ فَإِذَا الْمُشْرِكُ فِي عِصَابَةٍ مِنَ التُّجَّارِ فَلَمَّا رَآنِي قَالَ يَا حَبَشِيُّ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا لَبَّيَهُ فَتَجَهَّمَنِي وَقَالَ لِي قَوْلًا غَلِيظًا وَقَالَ أَتَدْرِي كَمْ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ الشَّهْرِ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ قَرِيبٌ قَالَ لِي إِنَّمَا بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهُ أَرْبَعٌ فَآخُذُكَ بِالَّذِي عَلَيْكَ فَإِنِّي لَمْ أُعْطِكَ الَّذِي أَعْطَيْتُكَ مِنْ كَرَامَتِكَ عَلَيَّ وَلَا كَرَامَةِ صَاحِبِكَ وَلَكِنِّي إِنَّمَا أَعْطَيْتُكَ لِتَجِبَ لِي عَبْدًا فَأَرُدُّكَ تَرْعَى الْغَنَمَ كَمَا كُنْتَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فَأَخَذَ فِي نَفْسِي مَا يَأْخُذُ النَّاسُ فَانْطَلَقْتُ ثُمَّ أَذَّنْتُ بِالصَّلَاةِ حَتَّى إِذَا صَلَّيْتُ الْعَتَمَةَ رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَاسْتَأْذَنْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَذِنَ لِي فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ إِنَّ الْمُشْرِكَ الَّذِي ذَكَرْتُ لَكَ أَنِّي كُنْتُ أَتَدَيَّنُ مِنْهُ قَالَ لِي كَذَا وَكَذَا وَلَيْسَ عِنْدَكَ مَا تَقْضِي عَنِّي وَلَا عِنْدِي وَهُوَ فَاضِحِي فَأْذَنْ لِي أَنُوءُ إِلَى بَعْضِ هَؤُلَاءِ الْأَحْيَاءِ الَّذِينَ أَسْلَمُوا حَتَّى يَرْزُقَ اللَّهُ رَسُولَهُ مَا يَقْضِي عَنِّي فَقَالَ ﷺ «إِذَا شِئْتَ اعْتَمَدْتَ» قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ حَتَّى آتِيَ مَنْزِلِي فَجَعَلْتُ سَيْفِي وَجُعْبَتِي وَمِجَنِّي وَنَعْلِي عِنْدَ رَأْسِي وَاسْتَقْبَلْتُ بِوَجْهِي الْأُفُقَ فَكُلَّمَا نِمْتُ سَاعَةً اسْتَنْبَهْتُ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُ عَلَيَّ لَيْلًا نِمْتُ حَتَّى أَسْفَرَ الصُّبْحُ الْأَوَّلُ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَنْطَلِقَ فَإِذَا إِنْسَانٌ يَسْعَى يَدْعُو يَا بِلَالُ أَجِبْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَانْطَلَقْتُ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُهُ فَإِذَا أَرْبَعُ رَكَائِبَ مُنَاخَاتٌ عَلَيْهِنَّ أَحْمَالُهُنَّ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَاسْتَأْذَنْتُهُ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَبْشِرْ فَقَدْ جَاءَ اللَّهُ بِقَضَائِكَ» فَحَمِدْتُ اللَّهَ وَقَالَ «أَلَمْ تَمَرَّ عَلَى الرَّكَائِبِ الْمُنَاخَاتِ الْأَرْبَعِ؟ » فَقُلْتُ بَلَى فَقَالَ «إِنَّ لَكَ رِقَابَهُنَّ وَمَا عَلَيْهِنَّ كِسْوَةٌ وَطَعَامٌ أَهْدَاهُنَّ إِلَيَّ عَظِيمُ فَدَكَ فَاقْبِضْهُنَّ ثُمَّ اقْضِ دَيْنَكَ» قَالَ فَفَعَلْتُ فَحَطَطْتُ عَنْهُنَّ أَحْمَالَهُنَّ ثُمَّ عَقَلْتُهُنَّ ثُمَّ عَمَدْتُ إِلَى تَأْذِينِ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ حَتَّى إِذَا صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَرَجْتُ لِلْبَقِيعِ فَجَعَلْتُ أُصْبُعَيَّ فِي أُذُنِي فَنَادَيْتُ مَنْ كَانَ يَطْلُبُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ دَيْنًا فَلْيَحْضُرْ فَمَازِلْتُ أَبِيعُ وَأَقْضِي وَأَعْرِضُ فَأَقْضِي حَتَّى إِذَا فَضَلَ فِي يَدَيَّ أُوقِيَّتَانِ أَوْ أُوقِيَّةٌ وَنِصْفٌ انْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ عَامَّةُ النَّهَارِ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَالِسٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَحْدَهُ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ «مَا فَعَلَ مَا قِبَلَكَ؟ » فَقُلْتُ قَدْ قَضَى اللَّهُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ كَانَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ شَيْءٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَفَضَلَ شَيْءٌ؟ » قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «انْظُرْ أَنْ تُرِيحَنِي مِنْهَا» فَلَمَّا صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْعَتَمَةَ دَعَانِي فَقَالَ «مَا فَعَلَ مِمَّا قِبَلَكَ؟ » قَالَ قُلْتُ هُوَ مَعِي لَمْ يَأْتِنَا أَحَدٌ فَبَاتَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى أَصْبَحَ فَظَلَّ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْيَوْمَ الثَّانِي حَتَّى كَانَ فِي آخِرِ النَّهَارِ جَاءَ رَاكِبَانِ فَانْطَلَقْتُ بِهِمَا فَكَسَوْتُهُمَا وَأَطْعَمْتُهُمَا حَتَّى إِذَا صَلَّى الْعَتَمَةَ دَعَانِي فَقَالَ ﷺ «مَا فَعَلَ الَّذِي قِبَلَكَ؟ » فَقُلْتُ قَدْ أَرَاحَكَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَكَبَّرَ وَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ شَفَقًا أَنْ يُدْرِكَهُ الْمَوْتُ وَعِنْدَهُ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ اتَّبَعْتُهُ حَتَّى جَاءَ أَزْوَاجَهُ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ امْرَأَةٍ حَتَّى أَتَى مَبِيتَهُ فَهَذَا الَّذِي سَأَلْتَنِي عَنْهُ  

[Machine] Umar ibn Al-Khattab entered upon the Prophet ﷺ while he was on a mat that had left an impression on his side. Umar said, "O Messenger of Allah, if you were to take a softer mattress than this?" He replied, "O Umar, what do I have to do with this world? And what does this world have to do with me? By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, my example and the example of this world is like that of a traveler who walked on a hot day and took shade under a tree for an hour during the day, then left it."  

دَخَلَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ عَلَى حَصِيرٍ قَدْ أَثَرَ فِي جَنْبِهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوِ اتَّخَذْتَ فِرَاشًا أَوْثَرَ مِنْ هَذَا؟ فَقَالَ «يَا عُمَرُ مَا لِي وَلِلدُّنْيَا وَمَا لِلدُّنْيَا وَلِي وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا مَثَلِي وَمَثَلُ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا كَرَاكِبٍ سَارَ فِي يَوْمٍ صَائِفٍ فَاسْتَظَلَّ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ سَاعَةً مِنْ نَهَارٍ ثُمَّ رَاحَ وَتَرْكَهَا»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Fatimah and found a curtain hanging at her door, so he did not enter. Whenever he entered (the house), he would visit her first. Then Ali came and found that Fatimah was grieved. He asked: What is the matter with you? She replied: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me but did not enter (the house). Ali then came to him and said: Messenger of Allah, Fatimah felt it keenly that you came to visit her but did not go in. He replied: What have I to do with this world? What have I to do with prints and figures (on the curtain)? He (Ali) then went to Fatimah and informed her of what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had said. She said: Ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ what he me to do about it. He (the Prophet) said: Tell her that she must send it to so-and-so. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4149)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَتَى فَاطِمَةَ فَرَأَى عَلَى بَابِهَا سِتْرًا فَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ وَقَلَّمَا كَانَ يَدْخُلُ إِلَّا بَدَأَ بِهَا فَجَاءَ عَلِيٌّ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَرَآهَا مُهْتَمَّةً فَقَالَ مَا لَكَ؟ فَقَالَتْ جَاءَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ فَأَتَاهُ عَلِيٌّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ فَاطِمَةَ اشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهَا أَنَّكَ جِئْتَهَا وَلَمْ تَدْخُلْ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «مَا أَنَا وَالدُّنْيَا وَمَا أَنَا وَالرَّقْمُ» فَذَهَبَ إِلَى فَاطِمَةَ فَأَخْبَرَهَا بِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ فَقُلْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَمَا تَأْمُرُنِي؟ قَالَ «قُلْ لَهَا فَلْتُرْسِلْ بِهِ إِلَى بَنِي فُلَانٍ»  

[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ never entered a decorated house."  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَدْخُلُ بَيْتًا مَرْقُومًا»  

“We used to go to (visit) Anas bin Malik.” (One of the narrators) Ishaq said: “And his baker was standing there.” (In another narration) Darimi said: “And his table was set. He said one day: ‘(Come and) eat, for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ never saw any thin loaf of bread until he met Allah, nor any roasted sheep (with skin).’”* (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3339)   

«كُلُوا فَمَا أَعْلَمُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَأَى رَغِيفًا مُرَقَّقًا وَلَا شَاةً سَمِيطَةً بِعَيْنِهِ حَتَّى لَحِقَ بِاللَّهِ»  

"The Prophet ﷺ would not store anything for the morrow." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2362)   

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ لَا يَدَّخِرُ شَيْئًا لِغَدٍ»  

The wealth of Banu an-­Nadeer was among the fai' that Allah bestowed upon His Messenger ﷺ, for which the Muslims made no expedition with either cavalry or camelry (cf. al-Hashr 59:6). It was only for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he used to spend from it on his family's annual expenses-and on one occasion he said: his annual food supply ­-and what was left he spent on horses and weapons in preparation for jihad for the sake of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, (Using translation from Aḥmad 171)   

«أَنَّ أَمْوَالَ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ كَانَتْ مِمَّا أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ ﷺ مِمَّا لَمْ يُوجِفِ الْمُسْلِمُونَ عَلَيْهِ بِخَيْلٍ وَلَا رِكَابٍ فَكَانَتْ لَهُ خَالِصَةٌ فَكَانَ يُنْفِقُ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ مِنْهَا نَفَقَةَ سَنَتِهِ وَمَا بَقِيَ جَعَلَهُ فِي الْكُرَاعِ وَالسِّلَاحِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ»  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ died (in a state) that it never happened that he could eat to his fill the bread with olive oil twice during a day. (Using translation from Muslim 2974)   

«لَقَدْ مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَمَا شَبِعَ مِنْ خُبْزٍ وَزَيْتٍ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ»  

[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not gather both food and dinner of bread and meat except on the outskirts."  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمْ يُجْمَعْ لَهُ غِذَاءٌ وَلَا عِشَاءٌ مِنْ خُبْزٍ وَلَحْمٍ إِلَّا عَلَى ضَفَفٍ»  

I asked Sahl bin Saʿd, "Did Messenger of Allah ﷺ ever eat white flour?" Sahl said, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ never saw white flour since Allah sent him as an Apostle till He took him unto Him." I asked, "Did the people have (use) sieves during the lifetime of Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" Sahl said, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ never saw (used) a sieve since Allah sent him as an Apostle until He took him unto Him," I said, "How could you eat barley unsifted?" he said, "We used to grind it and then blow off its husk, and after the husk flew away, we used to prepare the dough (bake) and eat it." (Using translation from Bukhārī 5413)  

سَأَلْتُ سَهْلَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيَّ هَلْ أَكَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ النَّقِيَّ؟ فَقَالَ سَهْلٌ «مَا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ النَّقِيَّ مِنْ حِينِ ابْتَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ» فَقُلْتُ هَلْ كَانَتْ لَكُمْ مَنَاخِلُ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَ «مَا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُنْخُلًا مِنْ حِينِ ابْتَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ» قَالَ قُلْتُ فَكَيْفَ كُنْتُمْ تَأْكُلُونَ الشَّعِيرَ غَيْرَ مَنْخُولٍ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ كُنَّا نَنْفُخُهُ فَيَطِيرُ مَا طَارَ مِنْهُ وَمَا بَقِيَ ثَرَّيْنَاهُ فَأَكَلْنَاهُ»  

[Machine] "The mattress of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was made of palm fibers," she said. "During the month, we used to only have two things to eat: black dates and water, until our neighbors sent us some of their leftover soup."  

«كَانَ ضِجَاعُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ أَدَمٍ حَشْوُهُ لِيفٌ» قَالَتْ «وَكَانَ يَأْتِي عَلَيْنَا الشَّهْرُ مَا نَسْتَوْقِدُ نَارًا إِنَّمَا هُمَا الْأَسْوَدَانِ التَّمْرُ وَالْمَاءُ إِلَى أَنْ يَبْعَثَ إِلَيْنَا جِيرَانٌ لَنَا بِغَزِيرَةِ شَاتِهِمْ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was lying down on a bed, covered with a sheet. Some of his companions entered and Umar also entered. The Prophet ﷺ moved away and the sheet left marks on his side. Umar cried and said, "By Allah, we know that you are more honorable in the sight of Allah than Kisra and Caesar, and they have worldly power while they destroy matters, and the hereafter belongs to us." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Are you not pleased that they have the world and we have the hereafter?" Umar replied, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ remained silent.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ عَلَى سَرِيرٍ وَهُوَ مُرْمَلٌ بِشَرِيطٍ قَالَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ وَدَخَلَ عُمَرُ فَانْحَرَفَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَإِذَا الشَّرِيطُ قَدْ أَثَّرَ بِجَنْبِهِ فَبَكَى عُمَرُ وَقَالَ وَاللَّهِ إِنَّا لَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ أَكْرَمُ عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ كِسْرَى وَقَيْصَرَ وَهُمَا يَعِيثَانِ فِيمَا يَعِيثَانِ فِيهِ قَالَ ﷺ «أَمَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تَكُونَ لَهُمَا الدُّنْيَا وَلَنَا الْآخِرَةُ؟ » قَالَ بَلَى قَالَ فَسَكَتَ  

: “The Messenger of Allah said: ‘I have been sent with concise speech and I have been supported with fear. While I was sleeping, the keys to the treasures of the Earth were brought to me and placed in my hands.’” Abu Hurairah said: “The Messenger of Allah has gone and you are acquiring them.” (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3087)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «بُعِثْتُ بِجَوَامِعِ الْكَلِمِ وَنُصِرْتُ بِالرُّعْبِ وَبَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ أُتِيتُ بِمَفَاتِيحِ خَزَائِنِ الْأَرْضِ فَوُضِعَتْ فِي يَدَيَّ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I have been given the keys to worldly treasures while riding on a gray horse with a saddle made of delicate silk."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أُتِيتُ بِمَقَالِيدِ الدُّنْيَا عَلَى فَرَسِ أَبْلَقَ عَلَيْهِ قَطِيفَةٌ مِنْ سُنْدُسٍ»  

[Machine] Jibreel sat with the Prophet ﷺ and looked up at the sky. Suddenly, an angel descended. Jibreel said to him, "This angel has not descended since he was created, before the Hour. When he descended, he said to the Prophet ﷺ , 'O Muhammad, your Lord has sent me to you as a ruler. He has made you a leader for them. Are you his servant or a messenger?' Jibreel said to him, 'Humble yourself before your Lord, O Muhammad.' The Prophet ﷺ replied, 'No, I am a servant and a messenger.'"  

جَلَسَ جِبْرِيلُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَإِذَا مَلَكٌ يَنْزِلُ فَقَالَ لَهُ جِبْرِيلُ هَذَا الْمَلَكُ مَا نَزَلَ مُنْذُ خُلِقَ قَبْلَ السَّاعَةِ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكَ رَبُّكَ أَمَلَكًا جَعَلَكَ لَهُمْ أَمْ عَبْدًا رَسُولًا؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ جِبْرِيلُ تَوَاضَعْ لِرَبِّكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ فَقَالَ ﷺ «لَا بَلْ عَبْدًا رَسُولًا»  

It was narrated that 'Ata' said: "Aishah said: 'The Messenger of Allah did not die until women had been made lawful to him.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3204)   

عَائِشَةُ «مَا مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى حَلَّ لَهُ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ مَا شَاءَ»  

I felt jealous of the women who offered themselves to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: Then when Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed this:" You may defer any one of them you wish, and take to yourself any you wish; and if you desire any you have set aside (no sin is chargeable to you)" (xxxiii. 51), I ('A'isha.) said: It seems to me that your Lord hastens to satisfy your desire. (Using translation from Muslim 1464a)  

«كُنْتُ أَغَارُ عَلَى اللَّاتِي وَهَبْنَ أَنْفُسَهُنَّ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَقُولُ تَهَبُ الْمَرْأَةُ نَفْسَهَا؟ فَلَمَّا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {تُرْجِي مَنْ تَشَاءُ مِنْهُنَّ وَتُؤْوِي إِلَيْكَ مَنْ تَشَاءُ وَمَنِ ابْتَغَيْتَ مِمَّنْ عَزَلْتَ} قَالَتْ قُلْتُ وَاللَّهِ مَا أَرَى رَبَّكَ إِلَّا يُسَارِعُ فِي هَوَاكَ»  

[Machine] Regarding the inheritance of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , she said, "Are you asking me about the inheritance of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ? By Allah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not inherit a dinar, nor a dirham, nor a servant, nor a slave woman, nor a sheep, nor a camel."  

عَنْ مِيرَاثِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ «أَعَنْ مِيرَاثِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَسْأَلُنِي لَا أَبَا لَكَ؟ وَاللَّهِ مَا وَرِثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ دِينَارًا وَلَا دِرْهَمًا وَلَا عَبْدًا وَلَا أَمَةً وَلَا شَاةً وَلَا بَعِيرًا»  

“He was the best of people, the most generous of people, the most courageous of people. The people of Al-Madinah became alarmed one night, and he was the first of them to investigate the noise and din. He was riding a horse belonging to Abu Talhah, bareback, with no saddle. His sword was hanging from his neck and he was saying: ‘O people, do not be afraid,’ sending them back to their houses. Then he said of the horse, ‘We found it like a sea,’ or, ‘It is a sea.’”* (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2772)   

أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ كَانَ خَيْرَ النَّاسِ وَكَانَ أَجْوَدَ النَّاسِ وَكَانَ أَشْجَعَ النَّاسِ وَلَقَدْ فَزِعَ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ فَانْطَلَقُوا قِبَلَ الصَّوْتِ فَتَلَقَّاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ سَبَقَهُمْ إِلَى الصَّوْتِ وَهُوَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ لِأَبِي طَلْحَةَ عُرْيٍ مَا عَلَيْهِ سَرْجٌ وَفِي عُنُقِهِ السَّيْفُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ لِلنَّاسِ «لَمْ تُرَاعُوا» يَرُدُّهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْفَرَسِ «وَجَدْنَاهُ بَحْرًا وَإِنَّهُ لَبَحْرٌ»  

"The Messenger of Allah was the most generous of people, and he was most generous in Ramadan when Jibril met him. Jibril use to meet him every night during the month of Ramadan and study Quran with him." And he said: "When Jibril met him, the Messenger of Allah was more generous in doing good than the blowing wind." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2095)   

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَجْوَدَ النَّاسِ وَكَانَ أَجْوَدَ مَا يَكُونُ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَحِينَ يَلْقَى جِبْرِيلَ وَكَانَ جِبْرِيلُ يَلْقَاهُ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَيُدَارِسُهُ الْقُرْآنَ فَلَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ يَلْقَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ أَجْوَدُ بِالْخَيْرِ مِنَ الرِّيحِ الْمُرْسَلَةِ»  

[Machine] "That the Prophet ﷺ did not eat his fill of food twice in a day until he died."  

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَمْ يَشْبَعْ شَبْعَتَيْنِ فِي يَوْمٍ حَتَّى مَاتَ»  

[Machine] "It was a month when the people of Muhammad ﷺ used to come and bake bread. I said, 'O Mother of the Believers, what did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to eat?' She said, 'We had neighbors from the Ansar who Allah rewarded with goodness, and they had milk which they would send to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ."  

«لَقَدْ كَانَ يَأْتِي عَلَى أَهْلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ شَهْرٌ مَا يُخْبَزُ فِيهِ» قُلْتُ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا كَانَ يَأْكُلُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَتْ «كَانَ لَنَا جِيرَانٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ جَزَاهُمُ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا كَانَ لَهُمْ لَبَنٌ يُهْدُونَ مِنْهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ»  

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and gave him some sheep between two mountains. The man then went to his people and said, "O people, embrace Islam, for by Allah, Muhammad ﷺ gives to a man in such a way that he does not fear poverty. And indeed, this man (referring to himself) used to come to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ seeking nothing but worldly gain. But now, he does not go to sleep at night except that his religion is more beloved to him than the world and what is in it."  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَعْطَاهُ غَنَمًا بَيْنَ جَبَلَيْنِ فَأَتَى الرَّجُلُ قَوْمَهُ فَقَالَ «أَيْ قَوْمِ أَسْلِمُوا فَوَاللَّهِ إِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ يُعْطِي عَطَاءَ رَجُلٍ مَا يَخَافُ الْفَاقَةَ وَإِنْ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ لَيَأْتِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا يُرِيدُ إِلَّا دُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا فَمَا يُمْسِي حَتَّى يَكُونَ دِينُهُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا»  

[Machine] "A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and he ordered for him to be given a sheep between two mountains. He returned to his people and said, 'Embrace Islam, for indeed Muhammad ﷺ gives to a man without fearing poverty.'"  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَمَرَ لَهُ بِشَاءٍ بَيْنَ جَبَلَيْنِ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ فَقَالَ «أَسْلِمُوا فَإِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ يُعْطِي عَطَاءَ رَجُلٍ لَا يَخْشَى الْفَاقَةَ»  

[Machine] I heard Anas ibn Malik saying that one day the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the mosque wearing a thick cloak from Najd. An Arab man from behind him took hold of the side of his cloak and pulled it, causing the hem of the cloak to leave a mark on the neck of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The man said, "O Muhammad, give us from the wealth of Allah that you possess." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned towards him, smiled, and said, "Let him go."  

سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا الْمَسْجِدَ وَعَلَيْهِ رِدَاءٌ نَجْرَانِيٌّ غَلِيظٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَعْرَابِيٌّ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَأَخَذَ بِجَانِبِ رِدَائِهِ فَاجْتَبَذَهُ حَتَّى أَثَّرَتِ الصَّنِفَةُ فِي صَفْحِ عُنُقِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَعْطِنَا مِنْ مَالِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي عِنْدَكَ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِ وَتَبَسَّمَ ﷺ وَقَالَ «مُرُوا لَهُ»  

[Machine] I heard Jabir ibn Abdullah saying, "The Prophet ﷺ was never asked something but he refused."  

سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ «مَا سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ شَيْئًا قَطُّ فَأَبَى»  

[Machine] I heard Jabir saying, "The Prophet ﷺ was never asked about something and he said no."  

سَمِعْتُ جَابِرًا يَقُولُ «مَا سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنْ شَيْءٍ قَطُّ فَقَالَ لَا»  

"The Prophet ﷺ would not store anything for the morrow." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2362)  

«كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَا يَدَّخِرُ شَيْئًا لِغَدٍ»  

[Machine] I heard Amr ibn al-As giving a sermon to the people, saying: "O people, your Prophet ﷺ was the most ascetic of people in this world, whereas you have become the most desirous of it."  

سَمِعْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ يَقُولُ «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ كَانَ نَبِيُّكُمْ ﷺ أَزْهَدَ النَّاسِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَأَصْبَحْتُمْ أَرْغَبَ النَّاسِ فِيهَا»  

[Machine] Umm Sulaim accompanied me with some dates in a clay pot to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but I did not find him at his house. They said he had gone nearby. Suddenly, he was at a tailor's house, his servant, where he had a meal with meat and a type of wild game. I saw that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ liked the wild game, so I placed it in front of him. He returned to his house, and I placed the clay pot in front of him. He continued eating and distributing until nothing was left in the pot.  

بَعَثَتْ مَعِي أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ رُطَبٍ فِي مِكْتَلٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ أَجِدْهُ فِي بَيْتِهِ قَالُوا ذَهَبَ قَرِيبًا فَإِذَا هُوَ عِنْدَ خَيَّاطٍ مَوْلَى لَهُ صَنَعَ لَهُ طَعَامًا فِيهِ لَحْمٌ وَدُبَّاءٌ قَالَ «فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُعْجِبُهُ الدُّبَّاءَ فَجَعَلْتُ أَضَعُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ قَالَ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ فَوَضَعْتُ الْمِكْتَلَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَمَازَالَ يَأْكُلُ وَيَقْسِمُ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ فِي الْمِكْتَلِ شَيْءٌ»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to accept gifts but would not accept charity."  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقْبَلُ الْهَدِيَّةَ وَلَا يَقْبَلُ الصَّدَقَةَ»  

[Machine] I heard Abu Hurairah say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when presented with food from someone other than its owners, would ask about it. If he was told it was a gift, he would eat it, and if he was told it was charity, he would say, "Eat." And he would not eat it.  

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَهْلِهِ سَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَإِنْ قِيلَ هَدِيَّةٌ أَكَلَ وَإِنْ قِيلَ صَدَقَةٌ قَالَ «كُلُوا» وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ  

"I was thinking of not accepting gifts except from a Quraishi, an Ansari, a Thaqafi or a Dawsi." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3759)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ لَا أَقْبَلَ هَدِيَّةً إِلَّا مِنْ قُرَشِيٍّ أَوْ أَنْصَارِيٍّ أَوْ ثَقَفِيٍّ أَوْ دَوْسِيٍّ»
