It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him): Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both) picked up a date from the dates of charity and put it in his mouth. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Do not take it, do not take it." So he spat it out. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you not know that charity is not lawful for us?"
