Sayyiduna ‘Abbad bin Shurahbil (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I was afflicted by famine, so I entered one of the gardens of Madinah. I found an ear of corn and took some grains from it. I ate some grains and picked up some in my garment. Meanwhile, the owner of the garden came, he beat me and snatched my garment. I (went with my complaint) to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him the whole story. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said (to the owner of the garden):“He was ignorant, you did not teach him, and he was hungry, you did not feed him.”Then the Prophet ordered him, so he returned my garment to me and also gave me one or half a wasq of food.
