Sahih Muslim Book - 12, Hadith - 2477

وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ بْنُ هَمَّامٍ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ قَالَ هَذَا مَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَذَكَرَ أَحَادِيثَ مِنْهَا وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « وَاللَّهِ إِنِّى لأَنْقَلِبُ إِلَى أَهْلِى فَأَجِدُ التَّمْرَةَ سَاقِطَةً عَلَى فِرَاشِى - أَوْ فِى بَيْتِى - فَأَرْفَعُهَا لآكُلَهَا ثُمَّ أَخْشَى أَنْ تَكُونَ صَدَقَةً - أَوْ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ - فَأُلْقِيهَا ».

It was narrated that Hammam bin Munabbih said: “This is what Abu Hurairah narrated form Messenger of Allah (SAW) ”- and he quoted a number of Ahadith, including the following: “And he said: The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: ‘By Allah, I go back to my family and I find a date lying on my bed’- or ‘in my house’- ‘and I pick up to eat it, then I fear that it may be charity [or from the charity], so I put it down.’ ”
