Sunan an-Nasa'i 2530
أَخْبَرَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ لَمَّا أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَتَصَدَّقَ أَبُو عَقِيلٍ بِنِصْفِ صَاعٍ وَجَاءَ إِنْسَانٌ بِشَىْءٍ أَكْثَرَ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَغَنِيٌّ عَنْ صَدَقَةِ هَذَا وَمَا فَعَلَ هَذَا الآخَرُ إِلاَّ رِيَاءً فَنَزَلَتِ { الَّذِينَ يَلْمِزُونَ الْمُطَّوِّعِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي الصَّدَقَاتِ وَالَّذِينَ لاَ يَجِدُونَ إِلاَّ جُهْدَهُمْ } .
Bishr ibn Khalid reported: Ghundar narrated to us, from Shuubah, from Sulayman, from Abu Wail, from Abu Masud, who said: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to give charity, Abu Aqil gave half a sa, and another person came with something more than that. The hypocrites said: Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has no need of this person charity, and the other did that only to show off. Then this verse was revealed: Those who criticize the willing contributors among the believers in charity, and those who find nothing but their own effort...
Translation notes
The report names Abu Aqil and contrasts his half-sa contribution with a larger gift. The Quranic quotation is abbreviated at the phrase from their own effort, as it is in the source.
