Narrated Abu Malik: from AlBara regarding : And do not aim at that which is bad to spend from it 2:267 - he said: It was revealed about us; the people of the Ansar who were date-palm owners. A man would bring the amount of dates that he would from his date-palms; either a lot or a little. A man would bring a cluster or two and hang it in the Masjid. The people of AlSuffah did not have food; so one of them would go up to the cluster and hit it with his stick; and unripe and ripe dates would fall; and he would eat. Some people did not hope for good; so a man would bring a cluster with pitless and hard dates; and a cluster with damaged dates; and hang it. So Allah; Blessed and Most High; revealed: O you who believe! Spend of the good things which you have earned; and of that which We have produced from the earth for you; and do not aim at that which is bad to spend from it 2:267. They said: If one of you were given similar to what he gave; he would take it except bashfully with your eyes closed. So after that; one of us would bring the best that we had.
