Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35726 — The people of dhimmah and lodging
٣٥٧٢٦ - حدثنا ابن فضيل عن (وقاء) (١) الأسدي عن أبي ظبيان قال: كنا مع سلمان الفارسي في غزاة إما في جلولاء وإما في نهاوند، قال: فمر رجل وقد جنى فاكهة، قال: فجعل يقسمها بين أصحابه، فمر سلمان فسبه، فرد على سلمان وهو لا يعرفه، قال: فقيل له: هذا سلمان، فرجع إلى سلمان يعتذر إليه، فقال له الرجل: ما يحل لأهل الذمة يا أبا عبد اللَّه؟ فقال: ثلاث: من عماك إلى هداك، ومن فقرك إلى غناك، وإذا صحبت الصاحب منهم تأكل من طعامه ويأكل من طعامك، وتركب دابته ولا تصرفه عن وجه يريده (٢).
Abu Zabyan said: We were with Sayyiduna Salman al-Farisi (may Allah be pleased with him) on a campaign, either the battle of Jalula or the battle of Nahawand. A man passed by us who had picked some fruit, and he began to distribute it among his companions. Sayyiduna Salman passed by and rebuked him. The man answered Sayyiduna Salman harshly, not recognising him. He was told: "This is Sayyiduna Salman." So he went to Sayyiduna Salman to apologise. Then the man asked him: "O Abu Abdullah, what is lawful for the dhimmis?" Sayyiduna Salman said: "Three things: from your going astray until you are guided, and from your poverty until you are free of need; and when one of them accompanies you, you may eat from his food and he from yours, and you may ride his mount, but do not turn him away from the direction he wishes to go."
