‘Umair, the freed slave of Abi Al-Lahm, said: “My master commanded me to cut up some meat, then a poor man came so I gave him some. When my master found out about that, he beat me, so I went to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and he came to him and said: ‘Do not beat him.’ He said: ‘He gave away my food without me telling him to.’ He said: ‘The reward will be shared between you both.” (Sahih)
