Sunan an-Nasa'i 2598
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ، حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَدِيِّ بْنِ الْخِيَارِ، . أَنَّ رَجُلَيْنِ، حَدَّثَاهُ أَنَّهُمَا، أَتَيَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَسْأَلاَنِهِ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ فَقَلَّبَ فِيهِمَا الْبَصَرَ - وَقَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ بَصَرَهُ - فَرَآهُمَا جَلْدَيْنِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنْ شِئْتُمَا وَلاَ حَظَّ فِيهَا لِغَنِيٍّ وَلاَ لِقَوِيٍّ مُكْتَسِبٍ " .
Amr ibn Ali and Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna reported: Yahya narrated to us, from Hisham ibn Urwah, who said: My father related to me: Ubayd Allah ibn Adi ibn al-Khiyar related to me that two men told him they came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to ask him for charity. He looked them over—and Muhammad said: he looked at him—and saw that they were strong. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: If you wish. But there is no share in it for a rich person or a strong person able to earn.
Translation notes
The source leaves If you wish without completing the object; that abbreviated wording is preserved. The paired narrators say the Prophet looked at both men, while Muhammad version has singular his gaze.
