Qutaybah ibn Sa'id narrated to us, Ya'qub—meaning Ibn 'Abd al-Rahman al-Qari—narrated to us, from Suhayl, from his father, from Abu Hurayrah, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "No one gives charity from a single date earned from lawful means, but Allah takes it with His right hand and nurtures it just as one of you nurtures his foal or his young she-camel, until it becomes like a mountain or even greater."
