Mishkat al-Masabih 1888
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ تَصَدَّقَ بِعَدْلِ تَمْرَةٍ مِنْ كَسْبٍ طَيِّبٍ وَلَا يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ إِلَّا الطَّيِّبَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَتَقَبَّلُهَا بِيَمِينِهِ ثُمَّ يُرَبِّيهَا لِصَاحِبِهَا كَمَا يُرَبِّي أَحَدُكُمْ فَلُوَّهُ حَتَّى تَكُونَ مِثْلَ الْجَبَل»
Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him, said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ‘Whoever gives in charity the equivalent of a date from good earnings—and Allah accepts only what is good—Allah receives it with His right hand, then nurtures it for its giver just as one of you nurtures his foal, until it becomes like a mountain.’
Translation notes
The Arabic uses fuluww, a young foal, for the comparison. The English witness adds a collection attribution not present in this source passage.
