Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ مِغْوَلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏‏{وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْتُونَ مَا آتَوْا وَقُلُوبُهُمْ وَجِلَةٌ}‏ أَهُوَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي يَزْنِي وَيَسْرِقُ وَيَشْرَبُ الْخَمْرَ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ يَا بِنْتَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ - أَوْ يَا بِنْتَ الصِّدِّيقِ - وَلَكِنَّهُ الرَّجُلُ يَصُومُ وَيَتَصَدَّقُ وَيُصَلِّي وَهُوَ يَخَافُ أَنْ لاَ يُتَقَبَّلَ مِنْهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Abu Bakr narrated to us; Waki‘ narrated to us, from Malik ibn Mighwal, from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Sa‘id al-Hamdani, from ‘A’ishah, who said: I said: “Messenger of Allah, does the verse ‘Those who give what they give while their hearts tremble’ refer to a man who commits adultery, steals, and drinks wine?” He said: “No, daughter of Abu Bakr”—or, “daughter of al-Siddiq”—“rather, it refers to a man who fasts, gives charity, and prays while fearing that it may not be accepted from him.”
