حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَهِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي الرِّجَالِ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ غَزِيَّةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏

مَنْ سَأَلَ وَلَهُ قِيمَةُ أُوقِيَّةٍ فَقَدْ أَلْحَفَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ نَاقَتِي الْيَاقُوتَةُ هِيَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أُوقِيَّةٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ هِشَامٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَرْبَعِينَ دِرْهَمًا فَرَجَعْتُ فَلَمْ أَسْأَلْهُ شَيْئًا

Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: If anyone begs when he has something equivalent to an uqiyah in value, he has begged immoderately. So I said: My she-camel, Yaqutah, is better than an uqiyah. The version of Hisham goes: "better than forty dirhams. So I returned and did not beg anything from him." Hisham added in his version: "An uqiyah during the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was equivalent to forty dirhams."

Reported by Abu Dawud (No. 1628), An-Nasa’i (No. 2595) and Ahmad (No. 10622, 10638).

Classical commentary

Al-Azimabadi — Awn al-Ma'bud

( فَقَدْ أَلْحَفَ ) قَالَ الْوَاحِدِيّ : الْإِلْحَاف فِي اللُّغَة هُوَ الْإِلْحَاح فِي الْمَسْأَلَة. قَالَ الزَّجَّاج : مَعْنَى أَلْحَفَ شَمِلَ بِالْمَسْأَلَةِ , وَالْإِلْحَاف فِي الْمَسْأَلَة هُوَ أَنْ يَشْتَمِل عَلَى وُجُوه الطَّلَب بِالْمَسْأَلَةِ كَاشْتِمَالِ اللِّحَاف فِي التَّغْطِيَة. وَقَالَ غَيْره : مَعْنَى الْإِلْحَاف فِي الْمَسْأَلَة مَأْخُوذ مِنْ قَوْلهمْ أَلْحَفَ الرَّجُل إِذَا مَشَى فِي لَحَف الْجَبَل وَهُوَ أَصْله كَأَنَّهُ اِسْتَعْمَلَ الْخُشُونَة فِي الطَّلَب ( نَاقَتِي الْيَاقُوتَة ) اِسْم نَاقَته ( قَالَ هِشَام ) فِي حَدِيثه قَالَ الْمُنْذِرِيّ : وَأَخْرَجَهُ النَّسَائِيُّ.…

Malik related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Ata ibn Yazid al-Laythi from Abu Said al-Khudri that some people of the Ansar asked the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he gave to them. Then they asked him again, and he gave to them until he used up what he had…
