Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from Ata ibn Yasar that a man
of the Banu Asad said, "My family and I dismounted to rest at Baqi. My family
said to me, 'Go to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, and ask him for something that we can eat,' and they began to mention
their need. I went to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, and found that a man was asking for something, and the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was saying, 'I do not have
anything to give you.' The man turned away from him in anger, saying, 'By my
life! You give to whomever you wish.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, 'He is angry with me because I do not have
anything to give him. Whoever asks of you while he has an uqiya or its like, has
asked with importunity.' "
The man continued, "I said to myself about a camel that we had, 'It is better
than an uqiya.' (Malik explained that an uqiya was forty dirhams.) So I returned
and did not ask him for anything, and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, sent me barley and raisins after that. He gave us from
his share until Allah, the Mighty, the Majestic gave us relief."
Original Version of The Hadith reported
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ،
عَنْ رَجُلٍ، مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ نَزَلْتُ أَنَا وَأَهْلِي، بِبَقِيعِ
الْغَرْقَدِ فَقَالَ لِي أَهْلِي اذْهَبْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم
فَاسْأَلْهُ لَنَا شَيْئًا نَأْكُلُهُ . وَجَعَلُوا يَذْكُرُونَ مِنْ حَاجَتِهِمْ
. فَذَهَبْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَوَجَدْتُ عِنْدَهُ
رَجُلاً يَسْأَلُهُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " لاَ أَجِدُ
مَا أُعْطِيكَ " . فَتَوَلَّى الرَّجُلُ عَنْهُ وَهُوَ مُغْضَبٌ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ
لَعَمْرِي إِنَّكَ لَتُعْطِي مَنْ شِئْتَ . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله
عليه وسلم " إِنَّهُ لَيَغْضَبُ عَلَىَّ أَنْ لاَ أَجِدَ مَا أُعْطِيهِ مَنْ
سَأَلَ مِنْكُمْ وَلَهُ أُوقِيَّةٌ أَوْ عَدْلُهَا فَقَدْ سَأَلَ إِلْحَافًا "
. قَالَ الأَسَدِيُّ فَقُلْتُ لَلَقْحَةٌ لَنَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ أُوقِيَّةٍ . قَالَ
مَالِكٌ وَالأُوقِيَّةُ أَرْبَعُونَ دِرْهَمًا . قَالَ فَرَجَعْتُ وَلَمْ
أَسْأَلْهُ فَقُدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ
بِشَعِيرٍ وَزَبِيبٍ فَقَسَمَ لَنَا مِنْهُ حَتَّى أَغْنَانَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ
