Hadith 3510

عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ الْحَنْظَلِيَّةِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ صَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّ عُيَيْنَةَ وَالْأَقْرَعَ سَأَلَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْئًا، فَأَمَرَ مُعَاوِيَةَ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ بِهِ لَهُمَا فَفَعَلَ وَخَتَمَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَمَرَ بِدَفْعِهِ إِلَيْهِمَا، فَأَمَّا عُيَيْنَةُ فَقَالَ: مَا فِيهِ؟ فَقَالَ: ((فِيهِ الَّذِي أَمَرْتُ بِهِ فَقَبَّلَهُ))، وَعَقَدَهُ فِي عِمَامَتِهِ وَكَانَ أَحْكَمَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ، وَأَمَّا الْأَقْرَعُ فَقَالَ: أَحْمِلُ صَحِيفَةً لَا أَدْرِي مَا فِيهَا كَصَحِيفَةِ الْمُتَلَمِّسِ، فَأَخْبَرَ مُعَاوِيَةُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِقَوْلِهِمَا وَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حَاجَةٍ فَمَرَّ بِبَعِيرٍ مُنَاخٍ عَلَى بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ مِنْ أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ، ثُمَّ مَرَّ بِهِ آخِرَ النَّهَارِ وَهُوَ عَلَى حَالِهِ فَقَالَ: ((أَيْنَ صَاحِبُ هَذَا الْبَعِيرِ؟)) فَابْتُغِيَ، فَلَمْ يُوْجَدْ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ فِي هَذِهِ الْبَهَائِمِ، ثُمَّ ارْكَبُوهَا صِحَاحًا وَارْكَبُوهَا سِمَانًا كَالْمُتَسَخِّطِ أَنَفًا، إِنَّهُ مَنْ سَأَلَ وَعِنْدَهُ مَا يُغْنِيهِ فَإِنَّمَا يَسْتَكْثِرُ مِنْ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ))، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! وَمَا يُغْنِيهِ؟ قَالَ: ((مَا يُغَدِّيهِ وَيُعَشِّيهِ))
The Ansari companion Sayyiduna Sahl bin Hanzaliyah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that both ‘Uyainah and Aqra’ asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for something. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) to write (to the governor of their region) in their favor. Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote the letter, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sealed it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) then ordered Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) to hand over this letter to them. ‘Uyainah asked, “What is written in it?” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, “It contains exactly what I have ordered.” He kissed the letter and tied it in his turban; he was among the wise and intelligent men. Aqra’ said, “I am carrying a letter, but I do not know what is written in it; this is like the matter of Mutalammis’s scroll.” Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) informed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) of what both of them had said. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went out for some work. Early in the day, he passed by a camel that had been made to sit at the door of the mosque. When he passed by that place at the end of the day, the camel was still sitting there in the same way. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, “Where is the owner of this camel?” He was searched for, but not found. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Fear Allah regarding these animals. When you ride them, they should be healthy, and when you dismount, they should be well-fed.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said these words in a state of anger. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Whoever asks (begs) despite being self-sufficient, he is increasing the fire of Hell for himself.” The companions asked, “How much (wealth) will suffice him?” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, “That which is enough for his morning and evening meals.”
