“I heard 'Abbad bin Shurahbil, a man from Banu Ghubar, say: ‘We suffered a year of famine, and I came to Al-Madinah. I came to one of its gardens and took an ear of corn, I rubbed it, ate some and put the rest in my garment. The owner of the garden came and beat me and took my garment. I came to the Prophet ﷺ and told him (what had happened). He said to the man: "You did not feed him when he was hungry and you did not teach him when he was ignorant."' Then the Prophet ﷺ told him to give back his garment and ordered that a Wasq or half a Wasq of food be brought to him."  

أَصَابَنَا عَامُ مَخْمَصَةٍ فَأَتَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَأَتَيْتُ حَائِطًا مِنْ حِيطَانِهَا فَأَخَذْتُ سُنْبُلاً فَفَرَكْتُهُ وَأَكَلْتُهُ وَجَعَلْتُهُ فِي كِسَائِي فَجَاءَ صَاحِبُ الْحَائِطِ فَضَرَبَنِي وَأَخَذَ ثَوْبِي فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ لِلرَّجُلِ مَا أَطْعَمْتَهُ إِذْ كَانَ جَائِعًا أَوْ سَاغِبًا وَلاَ عَلَّمْتَهُ إِذْ كَانَ جَاهِلاً فَأَمَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَرَدَّ إِلَيْهِ ثَوْبَهُ وَأَمَرَ لَهُ بِوَسْقٍ مِنْ طَعَامٍ أَوْ نِصْفِ وَسْقٍ  

I suffered from drought; so I entered a garden of Medina, and rubbed an ear-corn. I ate and carried in my garment. Then its master came, he beat me and took my garment. He came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who said to him: You did not teach him if he was ignorant; and you did not feed him if he was hungry. He ordered him, so he returned my garment to me, and gave me one or half a wasq (sixty or thirty sa's) of corn. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2620)   

أَصَابَتْنَا سَنَةٌ فَأَتَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَدَخَلْتُ حَائِطًا مِنْ حِيطَانِهَا فَأَخَذْتُ سُنْبُلًا فَفَرَكْتُهُ وَأَكَلْتُ مِنْهُ وَحَمَلْتُ فِي ثَوْبِي فَجَاءَ صَاحِبُ الْحَائِطِ فَضَرَبَنِي وَأَخَذَ ثَوْبِي فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا عَلَّمْتَهُ إِذْ كَانَ جَاهِلًا وَلَا أَطْعَمْتَهُ إِذْ كَانَ سَاغِبًا أَوْ جَائِعًا فَرَدَّ عَلَيَّ الثَّوْبَ وَأَمَرَ لِي بِنِصْفِ وَسْقٍ أَوْ وَسْقٍ  

[Machine] We were struck by famine, so I went to the city and entered one of its walls. I took a handful of grain, rubbed it, ate from it, and put some in my garment. The owner of the wall came and struck me and took my garment. So, I went to the Prophet ﷺ and he said, "Did you not know that if you were ignorant, you shouldn't have eaten from it? And if you were in need, you should have asked, and I would have provided for you." He returned my garment and ordered for me to be given half a sa' or a sa' of food.  

أَصَابَتْنَا مَجَاعَةٌ فَأَتَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَدَخَلْتُ حَائِطًا مِنْ حِيطَانِهَا فَأَخَذْتُ سُنْبُلًا فَفَرَكْتُهُ فَأَكَلْتُ مِنْهُ وَجَعَلْتُ مِنْهُ فِي ثَوْبِي فَجَاءَ صَاحِبُ الْحَائِطِ فَضَرَبَنِي وَأَخَذَ ثَوْبِي فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «مَا عَلِمْتَهُ إِذَا كَانَ جَاهِلًا وَلَا أَطْعَمْتَهُ إِذَا كَانَ سَاغِبًا أَوْ جَائِعًا» قَالَ فَرَدَّ عَلَيَّ الثَّوْبَ وَأَمَرَ لِي بِنِصْفِ وَسْقٍ أَوْ وَسْقٍ
