1667 — Qutaybah ibn Saʿīd narrated to us: al-Layth narrated to us, from Saʿīd ibn Abī Saʿīd, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Bujayd, from his grandmother Umm Bujayd — and she was among those who gave the pledge of allegiance to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace — that she said to him: "O Messenger of Allah, may Allah send blessings upon you, the poor man often stands at my door, and I find nothing to give him." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to her: "If you find nothing to give him except a burnt hoof, then place it in his hand."(1)

1668 — Aḥmad ibn Abī Shuʿayb al-Ḥarrānī narrated to us: ʿĪsā ibn Yūnus narrated to us: Hishām ibn ʿUrwah narrated to us, from his father, from Asmāʾ, who said: "My mother came to me, seeking my help, during the time of the treaty of Quraysh, and she was a polytheist. I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, my mother has come to me, seeking my help, and she is a polytheist — shall I maintain ties with her?' He said: 'Yes, maintain ties with your mother.'"(2)

--------------------------------------------
(1) Its chain is good (ḥasan). ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Bujayd is disputed regarding his companionship [of the Prophet]; al-Ḥāfiẓ mentioned in al-Taqrīb that he had [the Prophet's] sighting, and a number [of narrators] narrated from him, and Ibn Ḥibbān mentioned him in al-Thiqāt.
It was also recorded by al-Tirmidhī (671) and al-Nasāʾī in al-Kubrā (2366) via the chain of Qutaybah ibn Saʿīd, with this chain, and al-Tirmidhī said: a ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ ḥadīth.
It was also recorded by al-Nasāʾī (2357) via the chain of Zayd ibn Aslam from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Bujayd, with it.
It is in Musnad Aḥmad (2714–27151) and Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Ḥibbān (3373).
Regarding al-ẓilf (hoof), it is said in al-Qāmūs: al-ẓilf, with kasrah, is for the cow, the sheep, and the like, serving as the equivalent of the foot for us.
(2) Its chain is sound (ṣaḥīḥ).
It was also recorded by al-Bukhārī (2620), (3183), (5978), and (5979), and Muslim (1003) via multiple paths from Hishām ibn ʿUrwah, with this chain.
It is in Musnad Aḥmad (26913) and Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Ḥibbān (452). =
