Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: أَخَذَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ تَمْرَةً مِنْ تَمْرِ الصَّدَقَةِ فَجَعَلَهَا فِي فِيهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «كِخْ كِخْ» لِيَطْرَحَهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أما شَعرت أَنا لَا نَأْكُل الصَّدَقَة؟»

Translation

Abu Huraira said: Al-Hasan ibn Ali took a date from the dates of alms and put it in his mouth. The Prophet ﷺ said, ‘Kikh, kikh!’ so that he would spit it out. Then he said, ‘Do you not know that we do not eat alms?’

Translation notes

  • The Arabic has the sound ‘kikh, kikh’ followed by the explanation that this was to make him spit out the date. The pronoun ‘we’ is retained without the English witness’s explanatory footnote.
