It is narrated from Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that a beggar came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that dates be given to him, but he did not touch them. Another came, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that dates be given to him; he happily accepted them and said, "Subhan Allah! Dates from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to his maidservant, "Go to Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) and have her give him the forty dirhams that are with her."
