two garments, while the earth trembled beneath you. You amassed and withheld, until your soul reached this point”—and he pointed to his throat. In another version: “until it reached the collarbones”—then you say, “I shall give in charity.” But when is the time for giving charity?!

It was narrated by Ibn Majah (2/159), Imam Ahmad (4/210), and Ibn Saʿd in al-Ṭabaqāt (7/427), from Hariz ibn ʿUthman, from ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn Maysarah, from Jubayr ibn Nufayr, from Busr ibn Jahhash: that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one day spat into his palm, placed his finger upon it, and then related the hadith.
