حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْجَعْدِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مَعْبَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حَارِثَةَ بْنَ وَهْبٍ الْخُزَاعِيَّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ تَصَدَّقُوا، فَسَيَأْتِي عَلَيْكُمْ زَمَانٌ يَمْشِي الرَّجُلُ بِصَدَقَتِهِ فَيَقُولُ الرَّجُلُ لَوْ جِئْتَ بِهَا بِالأَمْسِ لَقَبِلْتُهَا مِنْكَ، فَأَمَّا الْيَوْمَ فَلاَ حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهَا ‏"‏‏.‏

Narrated Haritha bin Wahab Al-Khuza`i:I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "(O people!) Give in charity (for Allah's cause) because a time will come when a person will carry his object of charity from place to place (and he will not find any person to take it) and any person whom he shall request to take it, will reply, 'If you had brought it yesterday I would have taken it, but today I am not in need of it

Haritha bin Wahab Al-Khuza'i (رضی اللہ عنہ) bataate hain: Maine Nabi ko farmate suna: "(Aye logon!) Sadqa do (Allah ki khaatir), kyunke ek waqt aayega jab koi shaks apna sadqa lekar jagah-jagah ghumega (aur use koi lene wala nahi milega), aur jisko woh dena chaahega usse yeh kahega: 'Agar tum ise kal laate to main le leta, magar aaj mujhe iski zaroorat nahi.'"
