Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ مَوْلًى لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ الْعَدَوِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَيْتِنَا وَأَنَا صَبِيٌّ قَالَ فَذَهَبْتُ أَخْرُجُ لِأَلْعَبَ فَقَالَتْ أُمِّي يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَ أُعْطِكَ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَا أَرَدْتِ أَنْ تُعْطِيَهُ قَالَتْ أُعْطِيهِ تَمْرًا قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَا إِنَّكِ لَوْ لَمْ تَفْعَلِي كُتِبَتْ عَلَيْكِ كَذْبَةٌ.
English Translation
Abdullah ibn Amir said: 'The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) came to us in our house while I was a child. I was about to go out to play, and my mother said: O Abdullah, come here and I will give you something. The Messenger of Allah said to her: What did you intend to give him? She said: I will give him dates. The Messenger of Allah said: Had you not done so, it would have been recorded against you as a lie.'
