Quality of Charity

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) forbade taking bad quality dates as charity.

Abu Umamah bin Sahl bin Hunaif said: concerning the Verse in which Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, says: And do not aim at that which is bad to spend from it". 2 This refers to had quality dates. The Messenger of Allah forbade taking bad quality dates as Sadaqah.
أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ، قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ، عَنِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْجَلِيلِ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ الْيَحْصَبِيُّ، أَنَّ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ، حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو أُمَامَةَ بْنُ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ، فِي الآيَةِ الَّتِي قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ‏{‏ وَلاَ تَيَمَّمُوا الْخَبِيثَ مِنْهُ تُنْفِقُونَ ‏}‏ قَالَ هُوَ الْجُعْرُورُ وَلَوْنُ حُبَيْقٍ فَنَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَنْ تُؤْخَذَ فِي الصَّدَقَةِ الرُّذَالَةُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of giving charity with good quality items. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught us that when we give charity, it should be with something of good quality. He used the example of dates to explain this concept, saying that bad quality dates should not be given as charity. This teaches us to always give our best and not settle for anything less than what is good and acceptable. It also encourages us to think carefully about what we are giving away in terms of charity, so that it can benefit those who receive it in the best way possible.
