"تَصَدقُوا، فَسَيَأتِى عَلَيكمْ زَمَان يَمْشِي الرَّجُلُ بِصَدَقَتِهِ فَيَقُولُ الَّذِي يَأتِيهِ بهَا: لَوْ جِئْتَ بِهَا بِالأمْسِ لَقبِلتُهَا، فَأمَّا الآنَ فَلَا حَاجةَ لي فِيهَا، فَلَا يَجِدُ مَنْ يَقْبَلُهَا".

Collected by Bukhārī, Muslim, Nasāʾī, Aḥmad, Ibn Ḥibbān, Ṭabarānī, Nasāʾī's KubráI heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "O people! Give in charity as a time will come upon you when a person will wander about with his object of charity and will not find anybody to accept it, and one (who will be requested to take it) will say, "If you had brought it yesterday, would have taken it, but today I am not in need of it."
سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ تَصَدَّقُوا فَإِنَّهُ يَأْتِي عَلَيْكُمْ زَمَانٌ يَمْشِي الرَّجُلُ بِصَدَقَتِهِ فَلاَ يَجِدُ مَنْ يَقْبَلُهَا يَقُولُ الرَّجُلُ لَوْ جِئْتَ بِهَا بِالأَمْسِ لَقَبِلْتُهَا فَأَمَّا الْيَوْمَ فَلاَ حَاجَةَ لِي بِهَا
I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "(O people!) Give in charity (for Allah's cause) because a time will come when a person will carry his object of charity from place to place (and he will not find any person to take it) and any person whom he shall request to take it, I will reply, 'If you had brought it yesterday I would have taken it, but today I am not in need of it."
سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ تَصَدَّقُوا فَسَيَأْتِي عَلَيْكُمْ زَمَانٌ يَمْشِي الرَّجُلُ بِصَدَقَتِهِ فَيَقُولُ الرَّجُلُ لَوْ جِئْتَ بِهَا بِالأَمْسِ لَقَبِلْتُهَا مِنْكَ فَأَمَّا الْيَوْمَ فَلاَ حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهَا
Give Sadaqa for a time is about to come when a person would walk with alms and the one whom it is to be given would say: Had you brought it yesterday, I would have accepted it. For the present I do not need it. (And the giver of Sadaqa) I would not find anyone to accept it.
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ تَصَدَّقُوا فَيُوشِكُ الرَّجُلُ يَمْشِي بِصَدَقَتِهِ فَيَقُولُ الَّذِي أُعْطِيَهَا لَوْ جِئْتَنَا بِهَا بِالأَمْسِ قَبِلْتُهَا فَأَمَّا الآنَ فَلاَ حَاجَةَ لِي بِهَا فَلاَ يَجِدُ مَنْ يَقْبَلُهَا
"I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Give charity, for there will come a time when a man will walk about with his charity, and the one to whom he wants to give it will say: If you had brought it yesterday I would have accepted it, but today (I have no need of it)."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «تَصَدَّقُوا فَسَيَأْتِي عَلَيْكُمْ يَوْمٌ يَمُرُّ أَحَدُكُمْ بِصَدَقَتِهِ فَلَا يَجِدُ مَنْ يَقْبَلُهَا يَقُولُ فَهَلَّا قَبْلَ الْيَوْمِ فَأَمَّا الْيَوْمُ فَلَا حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهَا»
