Volume 6, Book 60, Number 190:
Narrated Abu Musud:
When we were ordered to give alms, we began to work as porters (to earn something we could
give in charity). Abu Uqail came with one half of a Sa (special measure for food grains) and another
person brought more than he did. So the hypocrites said, “Allah is not in need of the alms of this (i.e.
‘Uqail); and this other person did not give alms but for showing off.” Then Allah revealed:–
‘Those who criticize such of the Believers who give charity voluntarily and those who could not
find to give in charity except what is available to them.’ (9.79)

Volume 4, Book 56, Number 691:
Narrated Abu Mus’ud:
The Prophet said, “One of the sayings of the prophets which the people have got is, ‘If you do not
feel ashamed, then do whatever you like.”
