Dates used to be brought to Messenger of Allah ﷺ immediately after being plucked. Different persons would bring their dates till a big heap collected (in front of the Prophet). Once Al-Hasan and Al-Husain were playing with these dates. One of them took a date and put it in his mouth. Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked at him and took it out from his mouth and said, "Don't you know that Muhammad's offspring do not eat what is given in charity?"  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُؤْتَى بِالتَّمْرِ عِنْدَ صِرَامِ النَّخْلِ فَيَجِيءُ هَذَا بِتَمْرِهِ وَهَذَا مِنْ تَمْرِهِ حَتَّى يَصِيرَ عِنْدَهُ كَوْمًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ فَجَعَلَ الْحَسَنُ وَالْحُسَيْنُ ؓ يَلْعَبَانِ بِذَلِكَ التَّمْرِ فَأَخَذَ أَحَدُهُمَا تَمْرَةً فَجَعَلَهَا فِي فِيهِ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَخْرَجَهَا مِنْ فِيهِ فَقَالَ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ لاَ يَأْكُلُونَ الصَّدَقَةَ  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Sometimes when I return home and find a date fallen on my bed, I pick it up in order to eat it, but I fear that it might be from a Sadaqa, so I throw it."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنِّي لأَنْقَلِبُ إِلَى أَهْلِي فَأَجِدُ التَّمْرَةَ سَاقِطَةً عَلَى فِرَاشِي فَأَرْفَعُهَا لآكُلَهَا ثُمَّ أَخْشَى أَنْ تَكُونَ صَدَقَةً فَأُلْفِيَهَا  

The Prophet ﷺ passed by a fallen date and said, "Were it not for my doubt that this might have been given in charity, I would have eaten it." And narrated Abu Huraira the Prophet ﷺ said, "I found a datefruit fallen on my bed."  

مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِتَمْرَةٍ مَسْقُوطَةٍ فَقَالَ لَوْلاَ أَنْ تَكُونَ صَدَقَةً لأَكَلْتُهَا وَقَالَ هَمَّامٌ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أَجِدُ تَمْرَةً سَاقِطَةً عَلَى فِرَاشِي
