the Prophet ﷺ spat in his palm then pointed to it with his index finger and said: “Allah (SWT) says: 'Do you think you can escape from My punishment, O son of Adam, when I have created you from something like this? When your soul reaches here' - and (the Prophet ﷺ) pointed to his throat - 'You say: I give charity.' But it is too late for charity?”  

ابن ماجة:٢٧٠٧حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَنْبَأَنَا حَرِيزُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ جَحَّاشٍ الْقُرَشِيِّ قَالَ

بَزَقَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي كَفِّهِ ثُمَّ وَضَعَ أَصْبُعَهُ السَّبَّابَةَ وَقَالَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ ﷻ أَنَّى تُعْجِزُنِي ابْنَ آدَمَ وَقَدْ خَلَقْتُكَ مِنْ مِثْلِ هَذِهِ فَإِذَا بَلَغَتْ نَفْسُكَ هَذِهِ وَأَشَارَ إِلَى حَلْقِهِ قُلْتَ أَتَصَدَّقُ وَأَنَّى أَوَانُ الصَّدَقَةِ

[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ spat in his palm one day and placed his finger on it, then said, "Allah says, 'O son of Adam, how can you challenge me when I created you from something like this? After I fashioned and shaped you, you walk between two feet while the earth belongs to you and is your support. You gather and withhold until you reach your grave, and then you say, 'Shall I give in charity now?' and 'When is the time for charity?'"  

أحمد:١٧٨٤٢حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ حَدَّثَنَا حَرِيزٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ جَحَّاشٍ الْقُرَشِيِّ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بَزَقَ يَوْمًا فِي كَفِّهِ فَوَضَعَ عَلَيْهَا أُصْبُعَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ قَالَ اللهُ ابْنَ آدَمَ أَنَّى تُعْجِزُنِي وَقَدْ خَلَقْتُكَ مِنْ مِثْلِ هَذِهِ حَتَّى إِذَا سَوَّيْتُكَ وَعَدَلْتُكَ مَشَيْتَ بَيْنَ بُرْدَيْنِ وَلِلْأَرْضِ مِنْكَ وَئِيدٌ فَجَمَعْتَ وَمَنَعْتَ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَتِ التَّرَاقِيَ قُلْتَ أَتَصَدَّقُ وَأَنَّى أَوَانُ الصَّدَقَةِ

[Machine] Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ spat into his palm, then placed his finger on it, and said, "Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says, 'O son of Adam, you challenge me when I have created you from something like this until I have made you complete and balanced. You walk, gather, and withhold until you reach the time of death. Then you say, "Shall I give charity now when it is too late?"'"

[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ spat on his hand one day, and then placed his finger on it, and said, "O son of Adam, indeed Allah says, 'You will not be able to weaken Me, and I have created you from the likeness of this (spit)." Until when I have formed and perfected you, you walked on your two legs, and for the earth from you is a stronghold. You gathered and made, until when you reached the necks (of the people), you said, 'Shall I give in charity? And how is the time for charity?"
