حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الْجَزَرِيُّ عَنْ نَاصِحٍ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَأَنْ يُؤَدِّبَ الرَّجُلُ وَلَدَهُ أَوْ أَحَدُكُمْ وَلَدَهُ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَتَصَدَّقَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ بِنِصْفِ صَاعٍ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لَمْ يُخْرِجْهُ أَبِي فِي مُسْنَدِهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ نَاصِحٍ لِأَنَّهُ ضَعِيفٌ فِي الْحَدِيثِ وَأَمْلَاهُ عَلَيَّ فِي النَّوَادِرِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: For a man to teach his child manners and good character is better than giving half a sa’ in charity every day. Abdullah, the son of Imam Ahmad, said: My father did not include this hadith in his Musnad because of the narrator Nasih, as he is weak in hadith, and he dictated it to me in Nawadir.
