حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ مِغْوَلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏‏{وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْتُونَ مَا آتَوْا وَقُلُوبُهُمْ وَجِلَةٌ}‏ أَهُوَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي يَزْنِي وَيَسْرِقُ وَيَشْرَبُ الْخَمْرَ قَالَ ‏

"‏ لاَ يَا بِنْتَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ - أَوْ يَا بِنْتَ الصِّدِّيقِ - وَلَكِنَّهُ الرَّجُلُ يَصُومُ وَيَتَصَدَّقُ وَيُصَلِّي وَهُوَ يَخَافُ أَنْ لاَ يُتَقَبَّلَ مِنْهُ ‏"

It was narrated that ‘Aishah said:

“I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, ‘And those who give that (their charity) which they give (and also do other good deeds) with their hearts full of fear.” [23:60] Is this the one who commits adultery, steals and drinks alcohol?’ He said: ‘No, O daughter of Abu Bakr’ – O daughter of Siddiq – rather it is a man who fasts and gives charity and prays, but he fears that those will not be accepted from him.’”

Reported by Ibn Majah (No. 4198) and Ahmad (No. 24102, 24523).

قَوْله ( هُوَ الرَّجُل الَّذِي يَزْنِي ) كَأَنَّهَا زَعَمَتْ أَنَّ الْخَوْف إِنَّمَا يُنَاسِب الْأَعْمَال الْقَبِيحَة دُون الصَّالِحَة فَتَحْمِل قَوْله يُؤْتُونَ مَا آتَوْا أَيْ يُؤَدُّونَ مِنْ الْأَعْمَال الْقَبِيحَة مَا أَدَّوْا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّة أَيْ يَفْعَلُونَ بِمَا فَعَلُوا فِي أَيَّام الْجَاهِلِيَّة ( وَلَكِنَّهُ الرَّجُل ) فَالْمُرَاد أَنَّهُمْ الَّذِينَ يُدِيمُونَ عَلَى الْأَعْمَال الصَّالِحَة الَّتِي فَعَلُوهَا أَوَّل إِسْلَام وَالْحَال أَنَّهُمْ يَخَافُونَ الرَّدّ.…
