Abu Hurairah says: I asked Sayyiduna Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): Do you remember any special thing from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? He said: I remember that once I picked up a date from the dates of charity and put it in my mouth. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took it out from my mouth along with the saliva and put it back in the pile of dates. Someone said: O Messenger of Allah! What harm is there if this child takes one date? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: We are the family of Muhammad, and charity is not lawful for us. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also used to say: Leave that which is doubtful for that which is not doubtful; there is tranquility in truth and anxiety and disturbance in falsehood. Then Sayyiduna Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also taught us this supplication: Allahumma ihdini fiman hadayt, ... tabarakta rabbana wa ta'alayt. That is: O Allah! Guide me among those whom You have guided, and grant me well-being among those whom You have granted well-being, and befriend me among those whom You have befriended, and bless me in what You have given, and protect me from the evil You have decreed. Surely, You alone decree and none can decree against You, and whomever You befriend can never be humiliated. O our Lord! You are greatly blessed and highly exalted.
