Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1467 — he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mention
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، قَالَ : نَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الْجُبَيْرِيُّ قَالَ : نَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ أَبُو بِشْرٍ الطَّوِيلُ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنِ الْمُتَشَمِّسِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَمِّ الْأَحْنَفِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيَّ يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- ذَكَرَ الصَّدَقَةَ ، فَقَالَ : مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ عِتْقُ الرَّقَبَةِ وَفَكُّهَا ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ : أَلَيْسَتَا وَاحِدَةً ؟ فَقَالَ : I " لَا ، عِتْقُهَا : أَنْ تُعْتِقَهَا ، وَفَكُّهَا : أَنْ تُعِينَ فِيهَا I " قَالَ : فَإِنْ لَمْ أَفْعَلْ ؟ قَالَ : I " فَمِنْحَةٌ وَكُوفٌ ، أَوْ عَطْفٌ عَلَى ذِي رَحِمٍ . I " لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ يُونُسَ إِلَّا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ مُوسَى الطَّوِيلُ I " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mention charity, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Freeing a neck and releasing it (from slavery) is charity." A man said: "Are these two not one and the same?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No. Freeing the neck means that you free it yourself (alone), and releasing it means that you help in (paying) its price." The man said: "And if I cannot do that either?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then (it is charity) to give (on loan) a milk-giving animal that yields abundant milk, or to treat a close relative with compassion and kindness."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Yunus except Abd al-Malik bin Musa al-Tawil."
