Malik related to me from Zayd ibn Aslam from Amr ibn Muadh al-
Ashali al-Ansari that his grandmother said, "The Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'O trusting women! Let
none of you despise giving to her neighbour even if it is only a
roasted sheep's trotter.'
Muwatta Malik Book 58, Hadith 4

Yahya related to me from Malik that he heard that a beggar asked
A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, for something while she was fasting and there was only a loaf
of bread in her house. She said to her female mawla, "Give it to him."
The mawla protested, "You will not have anything to break your fast
with." A'isha repeated, "Give it to him," so she did so. When evening
came, the people of a house or a man who did not usually give to them,
gave them a sheep and some food to go with it. A'isha, umm al-muminin,
called her mawla and said, "Eat from this. This is better than your
loaf of bread."
