Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ سَأَلَ مِنْكُمْ وَلَهُ أُوقِيَّةٌ أَوْ عَدْلُهَا فَقَدْ سَأَلَ إِلْحَافًا» . رَوَاهُ مَالك وَأَبُو دَاوُد وَالنَّسَائِيّ

Translation

Ata ibn Yasar, from a man of Banu Asad, reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Whoever among you asks while having an uqiyya or its equivalent has asked insistently.’ Malik, Abu Dawud, and al-Nasa’i transmitted it.

Translation notes
  • The English witness equates the Arab uqiyya with forty dirhams; that conversion is absent from the Arabic source passage.
