Juwayriyah, the wife of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said that Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) came to her and said: Is there anything to eat? She said: Messenger of Allah, I swear by God, there is no food with us except a bone of goat which my freed maid-servant was given as sadaqa. Upon this he said: Bring that to me, for it (the sadaqa) has reached its destination.

This hadith has been narrated by Zuhri with the same chain of trainsmitters.

Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah and Abu Kurayb narrated to us, they said: Waki‘ narrated to us. H (another chain) and Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna and Ibn Bashar narrated to us, they said: Muhammad ibn Ja‘far narrated to us, both of them from Shu‘bah, from Qatadah, from Anas. H (another chain) and ‘Ubaydullah ibn Mu‘adh narrated to us, and the wording is his, he said: My father narrated to us, Shu‘bah narrated to us, from Qatadah, he heard Anas ibn Malik, who said: Barirah gave to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, meat that had been given to her as charity, so he said: "It is charity for her and a gift for us."

'A'isha reported that (once) the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) (may peace be upon him,) was presented with beef. It was said (by someone) that it had been given to Barira as sadaqah. Upon this he (the Prophet) said: It is a sadaqah for her and a gift for us.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said: Three are the decions (of the Shari'ah that we have come to know) through Barira. The people gave her sadaqah and she offered us as gift. We made a mention of it to the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) , whereupon he said: It is a sadaqah for her and a gift for you; so eat it.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of A'isha through another chain of transmitters.

This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of 'A'isha in a similar manner except a slight variation that he said: "That is a gift for us out of it."

Umm 'Atiyya, said: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) sent me some mutton of sadaqah. I sent a piece out of that to 'A'isha. When the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) came to 'A'isha, he said: Have you anything with you (to eat)? She said: Nothing, except only that mutton sent to us by Nusaiba (the kunya of Umm 'Atiyyah) which you had sent to her. Whereupon he said: It has reached its proper place.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: Whenever the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) was presented with food, he asked about it. If he was told that it was a gift, he ate out of that, and if he was told that it was a sadaqah he did not eat out of that.

Yahya ibn Yahya, Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah, Amr al-Naqid, and Ishaq ibn Ibrahim narrated to us. Yahya said: Waki’ narrated to us from Shu’bah from Amr ibn Murrah, who said: I heard Abdullah ibn Abi Awfa.

And Ubaydullah ibn Mu’adh narrated to us—and the wording is his—he said: My father narrated to us from Shu’bah from Amr, and he is ibn Murrah. Abdullah ibn Abi Awfa narrated to us, who said: Whenever a people brought their charity to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, he would say:“O Allah, send blessings upon them.”So my father, Abu Awfa, brought his charity to him, and he said:“O Allah, send blessings upon the family of Abu Awfa.”
