What they said on a man given a horse to ride who then falls in need: may he sell it?
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35210 — What they said on a man given a horse
٣٥٢١٠ - حدثنا معتمر بن سليمان عن أبي (المنبه) (١) قال: أوصى رجل من أهل اليمامة بفرس في سبيل اللَّه، فقدم ابن عم لي فقلت: أحمل عليه أخي، فإن أخي رجل صالح، قال: حتى أسأل الحسن، فسأل الحسن فقال، احمل عليه رجلا ولا (تحاب) (٢) فيه أحدًا، قال: قلت للحسن: فإن احتاج إليه؟ قال: (فليبعه) (٣) من الجند ولا (تعطه) (٤) هذه الموالي فيتركه أحدهم نفقة لأهله.
Abu al-Munabbih (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A man from the people of al-Yamamah bequeathed a horse in the way of Allah. Then a cousin of mine arrived, and I said to that person: "Mount my brother on it, for my brother is a righteous man." He said: "Let me ask al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him)." He asked al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him), who said: "Mount a man on it, and do not show favoritism to anyone in this matter." The narrator said: I asked al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him): "What if he needs it?" He (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Let him sell it to someone in the army, and do not give it to any of these mawali, for one of them would leave it as maintenance for his family."
