Hadith 4088
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مُسْهِرٍ ، عَنْ خَرَشَةَ بْنِ الْحُرِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِهَذَا وَالْأَوَّلُ أَتَمُّ ، قَالَ : الْمَنَّانُ الَّذِي لَا يُعْطِي شَيْئًا إِلَّا مَنَّهُ .
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Abu Dharr though a different chain of narrators, but the former is more perfect. This version has: Mannan is the one takes account of anything he gives.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
The word (mannan) can have two meanings. If it is derived from (al-minnah), its meaning is "one who reminds others of his favors," and this is well-known: reminding others of favors nullifies good deeds, and in the case of charity, it causes the reward to be lost. If its root is (al-mann), then its meaning is "to diminish," as in the noble verse: "For you is a great reward, in which there is no diminution." And (mannan) is a person who diminishes in fulfilling rights and commits fraud in weighing and measuring.
