It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were present in the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). At that time, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was distributing dates of charity, and Hazrat Imam Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) was sitting in his lap. When the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) finished distributing them, he seated Imam Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) on his shoulder. His saliva began to flow onto the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) looked up and saw a date in his mouth. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) put his hand in and took that date out of his mouth and said, "Do you not know that charity is not lawful for the family of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)?"
