[Machine] When the verse "O you who have believed, when you converse privately" [Al-Mujadila 12] was revealed, the Messenger ﷺ asked Ali to give charity before engaging in private conversations. Ali asked, "How much, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "A dinar." Ali said, "They cannot afford that." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "How about half a dinar?" Ali responded, "They cannot afford that either." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Then how much?" Ali replied, "A shearing." The Prophet ﷺ told him, "You are generous." Allah then revealed, "Are you afraid to present before your consultation charities?" [Al-Mujadila 13] until the end of the verse. Ali used to say, "Through me, this nation was relieved."  

لَمَّا أُنْزِلَتْ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنْوا إِذَا نَاجَيْتُمُ} [المجادلة 12] الرَّسُولَ فَقَدِّمُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ نَجْوَاكُمْ صَدَقَةً قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِعَلِيٍّ «مُرْهُمْ أَنْ يَتَصَدَّقُوا» قَالَ بِكَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «بِدِينَارٍ» قَالَ لَا يُطِيقُونَ قَالَ «فَنِصْفِ دِينَارٍ» قَالَ لَا يُطِيقُونَ قَالَ «فَبِكَمْ؟» قَالَ بِشَعِيرَةٍ قَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّكَ لَزَهِيدٌ» فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى {أَأَشْفَقْتُمْ أَنْ تُقَدِّمُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ نَجْوَاكُمْ} [المجادلة 13] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ وَكَانَ عَلِيٌّ يَقُولُ «بِي خُفِّفَ عَنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ»
