Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَدِيِّ بْنِ الْخِيَارِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي رَجُلَانِ أَنَّهُمَا أَتَيَا النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ وَهُوَ يُقَسِّمُ الصَّدَقَةَ فَسَأَلَاهُ مِنْهَا فَرَفَعَ فِينَا النَّظَرَ وَخَفَضَهُ فَرَآنَا جَلْدَيْنِ فَقَالَ: «إِنْ شِئْتُمَا أَعْطَيْتُكُمَا وَلَا حَظَّ فِيهَا لِغَنِيٍّ وَلَا لِقَوِيٍّ مكتسب» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد وَالنَّسَائِيّ

Translation

Ubaydullah ibn Adi ibn al-Khiyar said: Two men told me that they came to the Prophet ﷺ during the Farewell Pilgrimage while he was distributing alms. They asked him for some, and he looked us up and down. Seeing that we were strong, he said, ‘If you wish, I will give you some, but a rich person or one who is strong and able to earn has no share in it.’ Abu Dawud and al-Nasa’i transmitted it.
