بَابُ سَخَاوَةِ النَّفْسِChapter: Generosity of Soul
Hadith 280
حَدَّثَنَا فَرْوَةُ بْنُ أَبِي الْمَغْرَاءِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ: مَا رَأَيْتُ امْرَأَتَيْنِ أَجْوَدَ مِنْ عَائِشَةَ، وَأَسْمَاءَ، وَجُودُهُمَا مُخْتَلِفٌ، أَمَّا عَائِشَةُ فَكَانَتْ تَجْمَعُ الشَّيْءَ إِلَى الشَّيْءِ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ اجْتَمَعَ عِنْدَهَا قَسَمَتْ، وَأَمَّا أَسْمَاءُ فَكَانَتْ لاَ تُمْسِكُ شَيْئًا لِغَدٍ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with them both), he says: Among women, I have not seen anyone more generous than Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and Sayyidah Asma (may Allah be pleased with her), and the manner of their generosity was different. Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) used to collect wealth, and when some wealth was accumulated with her, she would spend it, whereas Sayyidah Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) would not save anything for the next day (she would spend whatever she had).
