Sahih Muslim 1069a (Book 12, Hadith 210) #9609
Not Eating Sadaqa

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that it is not permissible to eat the sadaqa (charity).

Abu Huraira reported that Hasan b. 'Ali took one of The dates of the sadaqa and put it in his mouth, whereupon the Prophet said: Leave it, leave it, throw it; don't you know that we do not eat the sadaqa?
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ زِيَادٍ - سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ أَخَذَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ تَمْرَةً مِنْ تَمْرِ الصَّدَقَةِ فَجَعَلَهَا فِي فِيهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ كِخْ كِخْ ارْمِ بِهَا أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّا لاَ نَأْكُلُ الصَّدَقَةَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that it is not permissible to eat the sadaqa or charity. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was teaching Hasan b. 'Ali a lesson about charity when he saw him put a date from the charity in his mouth. He immediately told him to leave it and throw it away as they do not eat from the charity. This hadith teaches us an important lesson about being generous and giving back to those in need, but also reminds us of our responsibility towards those who are less fortunate than ourselves and how we should use our wealth for good causes instead of taking advantage of them for our own benefit. It also shows us how even small acts of kindness can have a big impact on others and how we should always strive to be generous with what we have been blessed with.
