قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا مَالِكٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ نَزَلْتُ أَنَا وَأَهْلِي بِبَقْيعِ الغَرْقَدِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَتْ لِي أَهْلِي:‏‏‏‏ اذْهَبْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَلْهُ لَنَا شَيْئًا نَأْكُلُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَهَبْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَوَجَدْتُ عِنْدَهُ رَجُلًا يَسْأَلُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ لَا أَجِدُ مَا أُعْطِيكَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَوَلَّى الرَّجُلُ عَنْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَهُوَ مُغْضَبٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَهُوَ يَقُولُ لَعَمْرِي إِنَّكَ لَتُعْطِي مَنْ شِئْتَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّهُ لَيَغْضَبُ عَلَيَّ أَنْ لَا أَجِدَ مَا أُعْطِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏مَنْ سَأَلَ مِنْكُمْ وَلَهُ أُوقِيَّةٌ أَوْ عِدْلُهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَدْ سَأَلَ إِلْحَافًا ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ الْأَسَدِيُّ:‏‏‏‏ فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ لَلَقْحَةٌ لَنَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ أُوقِيَّةٍ وَالْأُوقِيَّةُ أَرْبَعُونَ دِرْهَمًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَرَجَعْتُ وَلَمْ أَسْأَلْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ شَعِيرٌ وَزَبِيبٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَسَّمَ لَنَا مِنْهُ حَتَّى أَغْنَانَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.

It was narrated from 'Ata'bin Yasar that a man from Banu Asad said: My wife and I stopped at Baqi Al-Gharqad, and my wife said to me: 'Go to the Messenger of Allah and ask him to give us something to eat. ' So I went to the Messenger of Allah and found a man with him asking him (for something), and the Messenger of Allah was saying: 'I do not have anything to give to you.' The man turned away angrily, saying: 'You only give to those you want. 'The Messenger of Allah said: 'He is angry with me because I did not have anything to give him. Whoever asks of you and he has an Uqiyah or its equivalent, then he has been too demanding in asking. ' Al-Asadi said: I said: 'Our milch-camel is worth more than an Uqiyah, 'and an Uqiyah is forty Dirhams. So I went back and did not ask him for anything. Then the Messenger of Allah got some barley and raisins after that, and he gave us a share of them, until Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, made us independent of means.
