Sunan an-Nasa'i 2574
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ بُجَيْدٍ، عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ أُمِّ بُجَيْدٍ، وَكَانَتْ، مِمَّنْ بَايَعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِنَّ الْمِسْكِينَ لَيَقُومُ عَلَى بَابِي فَمَا أَجِدُ لَهُ شَيْئًا أُعْطِيهِ إِيَّاهُ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنْ لَمْ تَجِدِي شَيْئًا تُعْطِينَهُ إِيَّاهُ إِلاَّ ظِلْفًا مُحْرَقًا فَادْفَعِيهِ إِلَيْهِ " .
Qutaybah reported: al-Layth narrated to us, from Saeed ibn Abi Saeed, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Bujayd, from his grandmother Umm Bujayd—one of those who pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ—that she said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: A needy person stands at my door, and I have nothing to give him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her: If you find nothing to give him except a burnt hoof, then give it to him.
Translation notes
The speaker is identified as Umm Bujayd and the report specifies that she was among those who pledged allegiance to the Prophet. The burnt hoof is retained as the example.
