Charity Through Donating Clothes

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ commanded people to give charity by donating their clothes, and reprimanded a man for taking two clothes from them.

Narrated Abu Sa'id al-Khudri: A man entered the mosque. The Prophet commanded the people to throw their clothes as sadaqah. Thereupon they threw their clothes (as sadaqah). He then asked him to take two clothes from them. He reprimanded him and said: Take your clothe.
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، سَمِعَ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ، يَقُولُ دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ الْمَسْجِدَ فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ النَّاسَ أَنْ يَطْرَحُوا ثِيَابًا فَطَرَحُوا فَأَمَرَ لَهُ مِنْهَا بِثَوْبَيْنِ ثُمَّ حَثَّ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ فَجَاءَ فَطَرَحَ أَحَدَ الثَّوْبَيْنِ فَصَاحَ بِهِ وَقَالَ ‏ "‏ خُذْ ثَوْبَكَ
