حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ أَبِي النَّجُودِ ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " كُنَّا نَعُدُّ الْمَاعُونَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَارِيَةَ الدَّلْوِ وَالْقِدْرِ " .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: During the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ we used to consider ma'un (this of daily use) lending a bucket and cooking-pot.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
1657. Commentary:
➊ In Surah Al-Ma'un it is stated: (So woe to those who pray, [4] but who are heedless of their prayer, [5] those who make a show [of their deeds], [6] and withhold [simple] assistance.) Destruction is for those who pray but are heedless of their prayers, who show off, and do not give items of common use. Indeed, giving and taking items of general use is a necessity of social life. And the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum ajma'in) considered this to be a legal right of wealth in Shari'ah.
➋ To lend common items open-heartedly is a sign of excellent character. However, this does not mean that someone should make a habit of living solely by borrowing. Such thinking and action is a sign of extreme baseness. Yes, if there is a need at some time, then it is not blameworthy.
