The Prophet ﷺ said, "I sometimes return home and find a date fallen on my bed. I pick it up to eat it, but then I fear it may be from the charity, so I throw it away."
عن النبي ﷺ قال: إني لأنقلب إلى أهلي، فأجد التمرة ساقطة على فراشي، فأرفعها لأكلها، ثم أخشى أن تكون من صدقة، فألقيها.
Bukhari narrated it in the Book of Lost Property (2432), and Muslim in the Book of Zakat (1070:163), both from the hadith of Mamar, from Hammam bin Munabbih, from Abu Hurairah, and he mentioned it.As for what is narrated from Jabir bin Abdullah, who said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ granted us permission regarding the staff, the whip, the rope, and similar things, that a man may pick it up and benefit from it," this is daif.Abu Dawud narrated it (1717) from Sulayman bin Abdul-Rahman Dimashqi, who said, Muhammad bin Shuayb narrated to us, from Mughira bin Ziyad, from Abu Zubayr Makki, who narrated it to him from Jabir bin Abdullah, and he mentioned it.Abu Dawud said, "Numan bin Abdul-Salam narrated it from Mughira Abu Salama with his chain of transmission. And Shababa narrated it from Mughira bin Muslim, from Abu Zubayr, from Jabir, who said, 'They used to...' without mentioning the Prophet ﷺ." End of quote.Munziri said, "In its chain is Mughira bin Ziyad, whom more than one scholar has criticized."I say, it is as he said. Mughira bin Ziyad Bajali, Abu Hisham, is daif by the agreement of the scholars, and Mughira bin Muslim, Abu Salama Qasmali, contradicted him, narrating it from Abu Zubayr as a stopped narration (mawquf), and his position is better than his.Bayhaqi said (6/195), "There is doubt about raising this hadith to the Prophet, and there is weakness in its chain."
