Sunan Abi Dawud 4066 (Book 34, Hadith 47) #24356
Generosity and Wastefulness

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) teaching Abdullah to be generous and not wasteful with his possessions.

Narrated 'Amr b. Suh'aib: On his father's authority, said that his grandfather said: We came down with the Messenger of Allah from a turning of a valley. He turned his attention to me and I was wearing a garment dyed with a reddish yellow dye. He asked: What is this garment over you? I recognized what he disliked. I then came to my family who were burning their oven. I threw it (the garment) in it and came to him the next day. He asked: Abdullah, what have you done with the garment? I informed him about it. He said: Why did you not give it to one of your family to wear, for there is no harm in it for women.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ الْغَازِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ هَبَطْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ مِنْ ثَنِيَّةٍ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَىَّ وَعَلَىَّ رَيْطَةٌ مُضَرَّجَةٌ بِالْعُصْفُرِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا هَذِهِ الرَّيْطَةُ عَلَيْكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَعَرَفْتُ مَا كَرِهَ فَأَتَيْتُ أَهْلِي وَهُمْ يَسْجُرُونَ تَنُّورًا لَهُمْ فَقَذَفْتُهَا فِيهِ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ مِنَ الْغَدِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ مَا فَعَلَتِ الرَّيْطَةُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَلاَ كَسَوْتَهَا بَعْضَ أَهْلِكَ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ لِلنِّسَاءِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's teachings of generosity and avoiding wasteful behavior. In this hadith, Abdullah was wearing a garment dyed with a reddish yellow dye when he encountered the Prophet Muhammad. The Prophet asked him what it was, and Abdullah recognized that he disliked it. He then went home to burn it in an oven instead of giving it away or donating it to someone else who could use it. When the Prophet found out what happened, he taught Abdullah that there should have been no harm in giving away clothing to someone else who could use it instead of wasting resources by burning them in an oven. This teaches us that we should be generous with our possessions and not waste them unnecessarily as Allah has blessed us with many resources which we should share with others if possible.
