حَمَّادٌ ، أَخْبَرَنَا
ثَابِتٌ الْبُنَانِيُّ ، عَنْ
أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، أَنَّ فَتًى مِنْ أَسْلَمَ ، قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ الْجِهَادَ وَلَيْسَ لِي مَالٌ أَتَجَهَّزُ بِهِ قَالَ : اذْهَبْ إِلَى فُلَانٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ قَدْ تَجَهَّزَ فَمَرِضَ ، فَقُلْ لَهُ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامَ ، وَقُلْ لَهُ : ادْفَعْ إِلَيَّ مَا تَجَهَّزْتَ بِهِ فَأَتَاهُ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ : ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ : لِامْرَأَتِهِ يَا فُلَانَةُ ادْفَعِي لَهُ مَا جَهَّزْتِنِي بِهِ ، وَلَا تَحْبِسِي مِنْهُ شَيْئًا ، فَوَاللَّهِ لَا تَحْبِسِينَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا فَيُبَارِكَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ .
Anas bin Malik said “A youth of Aslam said “Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I wish to go on an expedition, but I have no property to make myself equipped. He said “go to so and so Ansari who prepared equipment (for the battle), but he fell ill and tell him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has conveyed his regards to you, and then tell him “Give him all the equipment you have made. He came to him and told him that. He said to his wife “O so and so, give him all the equipment I have made and do not detain anything from him. I swear by Allaah, if you detain anything from him, Allaah will not bless it.

Benefits and Issues:
➊
It is necessary that any item or wealth that has been specifically dedicated for Allah,
and if a person is unable to spend it himself,
then he should entrust it to someone else.
Especially, equipment for jihad—there is blessing in spending it and lack of blessing in withholding it.
If an intention of vow (nadhar) or endowment (waqf) has been made regarding such wealth, then it is obligatory to spend it oneself or to give it to someone else.
Otherwise, it is recommended (mustahabb).
