Chasidut for Pesachim 113:2
ת"ר בן בוהיין נתן פיאה לירק ובא אביו ומצאן לעניים שהיו טעונין ירק ועומדין על פתח הגינה אמר להם בני השליכו מעליכם ואני נותן לכם כפליים במעושר לא מפני שעיני צרה אלא מפני שאמרו חכמים אין נותנין פיאה לירק
gave pe'ah from vegetables, and his father came and found the poor laden with vegetables and standing at the entrance to the kitchen garden. Said he to them, 'My sons, cast it from you, and I will give you twice as much of tithed [produce]; not because I begrudge it to you, but because the Sages said, You must not give pe'ah from vegetables.' Why had he to say to them, 'Not because I begrudge it to you? ' So that they should not say, 'He is merely putting us off.' Our Rabbis taught: At first they used to place the skins of sacrifices in the chamber of Beth Ha-Parwah.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Name of a Persian builder and Magian, after whom a compartment in the Temple was supposed to have been named (Jast.) . rnan');"><sup>4</sup></span>
