Majma al-Zawaid 6446 — Payment for teaching the Quran and other things

وَعَنِ الطُّفَيْلِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الدُّوسِيِّ قَالَ : أَقْرَأَنِي أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ الْقُرْآنَ ، فَأَهْدَيْتُ لَهُ قَوْسًا فَغَدَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، وَقَدْ تَقَلَّدَهَا ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " تَقَلَّدْهَا مِنْ جَهَنَّمَ " . قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّا إِنَّمَا حَضَرْنَا طَعَامَهُمْ فَأَكَلْنَا مِنْهُ ؟ قَالَ : " أَمَّا مَا عُمِلَ لَكَ ، فَإِنَّمَا تَأْكُلُهُ بِخَلَاقِكَ ، وَأَمَّا مَا عُمِلَ لِغَيْرِكَ فَحَضَرْتَهُ فَأَكَلْتَ مِنْهُ فَلَا بَأْسَ بِهِ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَفِيهِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ، وَلَمْ أَجِدْ مَنْ تَرْجَمَهُ ، وَلَا أَظُنُّهُ أَدْرَكَ الطُّفَيْلَ .
Sayyiduna al-Tufayl bin Amr al-Dawsi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) taught me the Qur'an, and I gave him a bow as a gift. The next morning he went to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), wearing the bow hung around his neck. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "You have hung it on yourself from Hell." I submitted: "O Messenger of Allah! We are people who, when we are present at a meal, eat from it." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whatever is prepared for you, you eat it in exchange for your share (of the Hereafter); but whatever is prepared for someone else and you are present there, then eat from it; there is no harm in that."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains Abdullah bin Sulayman bin Umayr, and I have not found anyone who has written his biography, and I do not think he met Sayyiduna al-Tufayl (may Allah be pleased with him).
