Hadith 1644
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ سَأَلُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَعْطَاهُمْ ، ثُمَّ سَأَلُوهُ فَأَعْطَاهُمْ ، حَتَّى إِذَا نَفَدَ مَا عِنْدَهُ ، قَالَ : " مَا يَكُونُ عِنْدِي مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَلَنْ أَدَّخِرَهُ عَنْكُمْ ، وَمَنْ يَسْتَعْفِفْ يُعِفَّهُ اللَّهُ ، وَمَنْ يَسْتَغْنِ يُغْنِهِ اللَّهُ ، وَمَنْ يَتَصَبَّرْ يُصَبِّرْهُ اللَّهُ ، وَمَا أَعْطَى اللَّهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ عَطَاءٍ أَوْسَعَ مِنَ الصَّبْرِ " .
Abu Said al-Khudri said: Some of the Ansar begged from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he gave them something. They later begged from him again and he gave them something so that what he had was exhausted. He then said: What I have I shall never store away from you but Allah will strengthen the abstinence of him who abstains, will give a satisfaction to him who wants to be satisfied, and will strengthen the endurance of him who shows endurance. No one has been given a more ample gift than endurance.
Hadith 1645
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دَاوُدَ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ أَبُو مَرْوَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ وَهَذَا حَدِيثُهُ ، عَنْ بَشِيرِ بْنِ سَلْمَانَ ، عَنْ سَيَّارٍ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ ، عَنْ طَارِقٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ أَصَابَتْهُ فَاقَةٌ فَأَنْزَلَهَا بِالنَّاسِ لَمْ تُسَدَّ فَاقَتُهُ وَمَنْ أَنْزَلَهَا بِاللَّهِ أَوْشَكَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِالْغِنَى إِمَّا بِمَوْتٍ عَاجِلٍ أَوْ غِنًى عَاجِلٍ " .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: The Prophet ﷺ said: If one who is afflicted with poverty refers it to me, his poverty will not be brought to an end; but if one refers it to Allah, He will soon give him sufficiency, either by a speedy death or by a sufficiency which comes later.
Hadith 1646
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ سَوَادَةَ ، عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ مَخْشِيٍّ ، عَنْ ابْنِ الْفِرَاسِيِّ ، أَنَّ الْفِرَاسِيّ ، قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَسْأَلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا ، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ سَائِلًا لَا بُدَّ فَاسْأَلِ الصَّالِحِينَ " .
Narrated Ibn al-Firasi: Al-Firasi asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: May I beg, Messenger of Allah? The Prophet ﷺ said: No, but if there is no escape from it, beg from the upright.
Hadith 1647
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ ، عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْأَشَجِّ ، عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ السَّاعِدِيِّ ، قَالَ : اسْتَعْمَلَنِي عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغْتُ مِنْهَا وَأَدَّيْتُهَا إِلَيْهِ أَمَرَ لِي بِعُمَالَةٍ ، فَقُلْتُ : إِنَّمَا عَمِلْتُ لِلَّهِ وَأَجْرِي عَلَى اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : خُذْ مَا أُعْطِيتَ فَإِنِّي قَدْ عَمِلْتُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " فَعَمَّلَنِي " ، فَقُلْتُ مِثْلَ قَوْلِكَ ، فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِذَا أُعْطِيتَ شَيْئًا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تَسْأَلَهُ فَكُلْ وَتَصَدَّقْ " .
Ibn al-Saidi said: Umar employed me to collect the sadaqah. When I finished doing so and gave it to him, he ordered payment to be given to me. I said: I did only for Allah’s sake, and my reward will come from Allah. He said: Take what you are given, for I acted (as a collector) during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he assigned me a payment. Thereupon, I said the same kind of thing as you have said, to which Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: When you are given something without asking for it, you should use it for your own purpose and as sadaqah.
Hadith 1648
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَهُوَ يَذْكُرُ الصَّدَقَةَ وَالتَّعَفُّفَ مِنْهَا وَالْمَسْأَلَةَ : " الْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى ، وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا الْمُنْفِقَةُ وَالسُّفْلَى السَّائِلَةُ " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : اخْتُلِفَ عَلَى أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ، قَالَ عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ : " الْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا الْمُتَعَفِّفَةُ " ، وقَالَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ : عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، " الْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا الْمُنْفِقَةُ " ، وقَالَ وَاحِدٌ : عَنْ حَمَّادٍ ، " الْمُتَعَفِّفَةُ " .
Abdullah bin Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said when he was on the pulpit speaking of sadaqah and abstention from it and begging: the upper hand is better than the lower one, the upper being the one which bestows and the lower which begs. Abu Dawud said: The version of this tradition narrated by Ayyub from Nafi is disputed. The narrator Abd al-Warith said in his version: `The upper hand is the one which abstains from begging;” but most of the narrators have narrated from Hammad bin Zaid from Ayyub the words “ The upper hand is the one which bestows. ” A narrator from Hammad said in his version “the one which abstains from begging. ”
Hadith 1649
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبِيدَةُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ التَّيْمِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الزَّعْرَاءِ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ مَالِكِ بْنِ نَضْلَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " الْأَيْدِي ثَلَاثَةٌ : فَيَدُ اللَّهِ الْعُلْيَا ، وَيَدُ الْمُعْطِي الَّتِي تَلِيهَا ، وَيَدُ السَّائِلِ السُّفْلَى ، فَأَعْطِ الْفَضْلَ وَلَا تَعْجِزْ عَنْ نَفْسِكَ " .
Narrated Malik ibn Nadlah: The Prophet ﷺ said: Hands are of three types: Allah's hand is the upper one; the bestower's hand is the one near it; the beggar's hand is the lower one. So bestow what is surplus, and do not submit yourself to the demand of your soul.
