Mukhtasar Muslim

‘Sayyiduna Umair, who was the freed slave of Sayyiduna Abi Al-Lahm (may Allah be pleased with him), says: My master (Abi Al-Lahm) ordered me to dry some meat. A poor man came, so I gave him an amount suitable for eating. When my master found out, he beat me. I went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him (Glory be to Allah, you were a refuge for orphans, widows, and the oppressed). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called him and asked: Why did you beat him? He replied: He gives away my food without my permission. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Both of you will have the reward for this charity.
