حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ

قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ الآخَرَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ سَلْمَانَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رضى الله عنه قَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَسْمًا فَقُلْتُ: وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَغَيْرُ هَؤُلَاءِ كَانَ أَحَقَّ بِهِ مِنْهُمْ.

قَالَ: «إِنَّهُمْ خَيَّرُونِي أَنْ يَسْأَلُونِي بِالْفُحْشِ أَوْ يُبَخِّلُونِي فَلَسْتُ بِبَاخِلٍ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) distributed something. Upon this I said: Messenger of Allah, I swear by God, the others besides them were more deserving than these (to whom you gave charity). He said: They had in fact left no other alternative for me. but (that they should) either beg importunately from me or they would regard me as a miser, but I am not a miser.

মুহাম্মাদ ইবনু মিনহাল আয যারীর (রহঃ) ..... আনাস ইবনু মালিক (রাযিঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ আমি সালাত শুরু করে তা দীর্ঘ করার ইচ্ছা করি। এমতাবস্থায় আমি শিশুর কান্না শুনতে পাই। আমি তখন তার মায়ের অস্থিরতার কথা চিন্তা করে সালাত সংক্ষিপ্ত করে দেই।

قتادہ نے حضرت انس بن مالک ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ سے روایت کی ، انہوں نے کہا : رسول اللہﷺ نے فرمایا : ’’ میں نماز شروع کرتا ہوں ، میرا ارادہ لمبی نماز ( پڑھنے ) کا ہوتا ہے ، پھر بچے کا رونا سنتا ہوں تو بچے پر ماں کے غم کی شدت کی وجہ سے ( نماز میں ) تخفیف کر دیتا ہوں ۔ ‘ ‘

Bize Muhammed b. Minhâl ed-Darir rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize Yezîd b. Zürey rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize Saîd b. Ebî Arube, Katâde'den, o da Enes b. Mâlik'den naklen rivayet etti. Enes şöyle demiş: Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) : «Ben (Bazen) namaza uzatmak niyetiyle giriyorum. Fakat bîr çocuğun ağlayışını duyunca annesinin ona karşı gösterdiği fazla şefkat ve üzüntüden dolayı namazı hafif kıldırıyorum.» buyurdular

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) divided money that he received among some people and gave nothing to others. So ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: Shouldn't you give those whom you have not given, since they are more deserving than those who were given? The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) answered: They were persistent in their demand (to get a share) because of their weak faith.

Their situation made me choose between their recourse to importunate demanding or to calling me a miser (for not giving them). So he chose to give them since miserliness was not one of his traits, and also to appease them and win their hearts in favor of Islam.
