[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us carrying a staff, and in the mosque there were hanging gourds with water in them. He struck the gourd with the staff he was holding, and said, "If Allah wills, this charity will donate with something better than it. Indeed, the Lord of this charity will eat the watermelon on the Day of Judgment." He then turned towards us and said, "By Allah, O people of Madinah, you will leave it for forty years for the sick ones." I said, "Allah knows best." He said, "I mean the birds and the animals." He said, "And we used to say, 'Indeed, this is for the one called the Ajam.' It is the melon."  

خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ الْعَصَا وَفِي الْمَسْجِدِ أَقْنَاءٌ مُعَلَّقَةٌ فِيهَا قِنْوٌ فِيهِ حَشَفٌ فَغَمَزَ الْقِنْوَ بِالْعَصَا الَّتِي فِي يَدِهِ قَالَ لَوْ شَاءَ رَبُّ هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَةِ تَصَدَّقَ بِأَطْيَبَ مِنْهَا إِنَّ رَبَّ هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَةِ لَيَأْكُلُ الْحَشَفَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ أَمَا وَاللهِ يَا أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ لَتَدَعُنَّهَا أَرْبَعِينَ عَامًا لِلْعَوَافِي قَالَ فَقُلْتُ اللهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ يَعْنِي الطَّيْرَ وَالسِّبَاعَ قَالَ وَكُنَّا نَقُولُ إِنَّ هَذَا لَلَّذِي تُسَمِّيهِ الْعَجَمُ هِيَ الْكَرَاكِيُّ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out with a staff, and there was a date palm branch hanging in the mosque, and a branch from it stabbed in his side. He said, "What harm can there be for the owner of this branch if he were to give in charity something better than this? Indeed, the owner of this branch will eat from it on the Day of Resurrection." Then he said, "By Allah, he will leave it fallen and humiliated for forty years for the birds and animals to eat from it." Then he said, "Do you know what the birds and animals are?" They said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "They are birds and animals."  

خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ عَصًا فَإِذَا أَقْنَاءٌ مُعَلَّقَةٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ قِنْوٌ مِنْهَا حَشَفٌ فَطَعَنَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْقِنْوِ وَقَالَ «مَا يَضُرُّ صَاحِبَ هَذِهِ لَوْ تَصَدَّقَ أَطْيَبَ مِنْ هَذِهِ إِنَّ صَاحِبَ هَذِهِ لِيَأْكُلُ الْحَشَفَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «وَاللَّهِ لَيَدَعَنَّهَا مُذَلَّلَةً أَرْبَعِينَ عَامًا لِلْعَوَافِي» ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَتَدْرُونَ مَا الْعَوَافِي» قَالُوا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «الطَّيْرُ وَالسِّبَاعُ»  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to them and there were hanging dates and Qanwa (a bag made of camel wool) containing dates, and he had a stick with him. He stabbed the stick into the Qanwa and said, "If Allah had willed, this charity would have given better and more delicious dates than these. Indeed, the one who consumes the dates from this charity on the Day of Resurrection will be satisfied." Then he turned to us and said, "By Allah, O people of Al-Madinah, you will remain in dire need for forty years." We said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do you know what 'Al-Awaf' means?" We said, "No, we do not know." He said, "Birds and wild animals."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَقْنَاءُ مُعَلَّقَةٌ وَقِنْوٌ مِنْهَا حَشَفٌ وَمَعَهُ عَصًا فَطَعَنَ بِالْعَصَا فِي الْقِنْوِ وَقَالَ «لَوْ شَاءَ رَبُّ هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَةِ تَصَدَّقَ بِأَطْيَبَ مِنْهَا إِنَّ صَاحِبَ هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَةِ يَأْكُلُ الْحَشَفَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ» ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ «أَمَا وَاللَّهِ يَا أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ لَتَدَعُنَّهَا مُذَلَّلَةً أَرْبَعِينَ عَامًا لِلْعَوَافِي» قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَتَدْرُونَ مَا الْعَوَافِي؟» قَالُوا لَا قَالَ «الطَّيْرُ وَالسِّبَاعُ»
