وَعَن عبدِ الله بن عامرٍ قَالَ: دَعَتْنِي أُمِّي يَوْمًا وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَاعِدٌ فِي بَيْتِنَا فَقَالَتْ: هَا تَعَالَ أُعْطِيكَ. فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «مَا أَرَدْتِ أَنْ تُعْطِيهِ؟» قَالَتْ: أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُعْطِيَهُ تَمْرًا. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «أَمَا إِنَّكِ لَوْ لَمْ تُعْطِيهِ شَيْئًا كُتِبَتْ عَلَيْكِ كَذِبَةٌ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَالْبَيْهَقِيُّ فِي «شُعَبِ الْإِيمَانِ»
`Abdullah bin 'Amir Narrated from:
One day, my mother called me while Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم was sitting in our house, saying 'Come here, I shall give you something.' Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم asked her, 'what did you intend to give him.' She submitted, 'I intended to give him some dates.' He said, 'know! if you had no intention to give him any thing, then a lie would have been recorded against your name.” [1]
