Jarir ibn 'Abdullah said: We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) at midday when a group of barefoot people came, wearing striped garments, with swords hanging from their necks. Most of them — or all of them — were from the tribe of Mudar. The face of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) changed when he saw their poverty. He entered his house and came out, then ordered Bilal to give the adhan and iqamah. He prayed, then gave a sermon and said: "O people, fear your Lord, who created you from one soul" to the end of the verse (4:1). And: "O you who believe, fear Allah, and let every soul look to what it has put forth for tomorrow" (59:18). Then he said: "Let a man give from his dinars, from his dirhams, from his garments, from a measure of his wheat, from a measure of his dates" — until he said: "even if it be half a date." A man from the Ansar came with a bag that his hand could barely hold — indeed it could not hold it. Then people followed one after another until I saw two heaps of food and clothing, until I saw the face of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) glow as if gilded. He said: "Whoever establishes a good practice in Islam will have its reward and the reward of those who act upon it after him, without that diminishing anything from their rewards. And whoever establishes a bad practice in Islam will bear its burden and the burden of those who act upon it, without that diminishing anything from their burdens."
