English Translation
Busr ibn Jahhash al-Qurashi narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) spat on his palm one day, placed his finger on it, and said: "O son of Adam, Allah the Almighty says: 'Will you elude Me when I created you from the like of this? When I fashioned you and made you proportionate, you walked between two garments and the earth groaned under you. You collected and hoarded until, when the soul reached the throat, you said: I will give charity now? But when is the time for charity?'"
