Chapter: Optional Charity When Leaving Makkah َيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سَ٠َّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَ٠) إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ ٠َكَّةَ فَاشْتَرِ بِدِرْهَ٠ْراً فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ قَبْضَةً قَبْضَةً فَيَكُونَ لِكُلِّ ٠ِنْكَ فِي إِحْرَا٠2.

Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from ibn Sama‘ah from those whom he has mentioned from Aban from abu Basir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘When you want to leave Makkah, buy one dirham of dates.

Give it as charity, a handful and a handful and it will be (as ransom) for you because of what may have happened during the time you were in the state of Ihram and when you were in Makkah.’” (Fatwa best explains Hadith 2 of this Chapter) رسل - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (8/231))
