My master commanded me to cut some meat in strips; (as I was doing it) a poor man came to me and I gave him some of it to eat. My master came to know of that, and he beat me. I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and narrated it to him. He (the Holy Prophet) summoned him and said: Why did you beat him?
