Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ هُوَ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنَا بُرَيْدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَوْرَاءِ قَالَ كُنَّا عِنْدَ حَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ فَسُئِلَ مَا عَقَلْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَمْشِي مَعَهُ فَمَرَّ عَلَى جَرِينٍ مِنْ تَمْرِ الصَّدَقَةِ فَأَخَذْتُ تَمْرَةً فَأَلْقَيْتُهَا فِي فِيَّ فَأَدْخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُصْبُعَهُ فِي فِيَّ فَأَخْرَجَهَا بِلُعَابِي فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ وَمَا عَلَيْكَ لَوْ تَرَكْتَهَا قَالَ إِنَّا آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ لَا تَحِلُّ لَنَا الصَّدَقَةُ قَالَ وَعَقَلْتُ مِنْهُ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسَ.
English Translation
Al-Hasan ibn Ali was asked: 'What do you remember from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)?' He said: 'I was walking with him and he passed by a pile of charity dates. I took a date and put it in my mouth. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) put his finger in my mouth and took it out with my saliva. Some people said: What would it matter if you left it? He said: We, the family of Muhammad, do not eat charity.' He also said: 'And I remember from him the five daily prayers.'
