Sunan an-Nasa'i 2565
أَخْبَرَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، ح وَأَنْبَأَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُجَيْدٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " رُدُّوا السَّائِلَ وَلَوْ بِظِلْفٍ " . فِي حَدِيثِ هَارُونَ مُحْرَقٍ .
Harun ibn Abd Allah informed me: Maan narrated to us: Malik narrated to us. [A second chain:] Qutaybah ibn Saeed reported from Malik, from Zayd ibn Bujayd al-Ansari, from his grandmother, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Give something to the petitioner, even if it is a hoof. In Harun report, the hoof was burnt.
Translation notes
The source gives two transmission routes and specifies that the hoof was burnt in Harun version. The small object illustrates giving even a very modest thing.
