English Translation
Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) swore an oath, then made expiation. He ordered the poor people brought into the treasury, and a large bowl of tharid (bread soaked in broth) was placed before them. They ate, and then he gave each of them a garment. The shaykh said: It seems he did not consider the tharid sufficient expiation, so he gave each one a garment as well. It was also narrated that Abu Musa gave ten poor people ten garments, one garment per person.
