اُردوEn
وَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَشْبَهْتَ خَلْقِي وَخُلُقِي " .
And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to him that you resemble me more than anyone else in appearance and character.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ , حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ دِينَارٍ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْجُهَنِيُّ ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ : " أَنَّ النَّاسَ كَانُوا يَقُولُونَ : أَكْثَرَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَإِنِّي كُنْتُ أَلْزَمُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِشِبَعِ بَطْنِي حَتَّى لَا آكُلُ الْخَمِيرَ ، وَلَا أَلْبَسُ الْحَبِيرَ ، وَلَا يَخْدُمُنِي فُلَانٌ وَلَا فُلَانَةُ وَكُنْتُ أُلْصِقُ بَطْنِي بِالْحَصْبَاءِ مِنَ الْجُوعِ , وَإِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَسْتَقْرِئُ الرَّجُلَ الْآيَةَ هِيَ مَعِي كَيْ يَنْقَلِبَ بِي فَيُطْعِمَنِي وَكَانَ أَخْيَرَ النَّاسِ لِلْمِسْكِينِ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ كَانَ يَنْقَلِبُ بِنَا فَيُطْعِمُنَا مَا كَانَ فِي بَيْتِهِ حَتَّى إِنْ كَانَ لَيُخْرِجُ إِلَيْنَا الْعُكَّةَ الَّتِي لَيْسَ فِيهَا شَيْءٌ فَنَشُقُّهَا فَنَلْعَقُ مَا فِيهَا " .
Narrated Abu Huraira: The people used to say, "Abu Huraira narrates too many narrations." In fact I used to keep close to Allah's Apostle and was satisfied with what filled my stomach. I ate no leavened bread and dressed no decorated striped clothes, and never did a man or a woman serve me, and I often used to press my belly against gravel because of hunger, and I used to ask a man to recite a Qur'anic Verse to me although I knew it, so that he would take me to his home and feed me. And the most generous of all the people to the poor was Ja`far bin Abi Talib. He used to take us to his home and offer us what was available therein. He would even offer us an empty folded leather container (of butter) which we would split and lick whatever was in it.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) would remain constantly in the service of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and would be content with whatever food was available. He would devote himself to listening to and preserving the Prophetic hadiths.
➋
This hadith mentions the virtue of Ja’far ibn Abi Talib (radi Allahu anhu), that he had great love for the needy (masakin). The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) gave him the kunyah “Abu al-Masakin” (father of the needy) because he would often sit with the needy and busy himself in serving them.
In one narration, it is mentioned that whenever Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) would ask about a verse, Ja’far ibn Abi Talib (radi Allahu anhu) would take him to his house and say to his wife, Asma’ bint Umays (radi Allahu anha): “Give us something to eat.” When we had eaten, he would then explain the meaning of the verse to me.
(Jami’ al-Tirmidhi, al-Manaqib, Hadith: 3766)
In any case, Ja’far ibn Abi Talib (radi Allahu anhu) greatly valued the poor and needy, and never fell short in doing good for them.
