٣٧٦٠٩ - حدثنا أبو أسامة عن الأعمش (١) عن مسروق قال: خرج رجل صالح بصرة من دراهم في ظلمة الليل، فأراد أن يتصدق بها، فلقي رجلًا كثير المال فأعطاها إياه، فلما (أصبح) (٢) (قال) (٣): ألا تعجبون لفلان وكثرة ماله، جاءه رجل بصرة دراهم (فأعطاها) (٤) إياه، فبلغ ذلك الرجل فشق عليه وقال: ما أراه تقبل مني حين أعطيتها هذا الرجل الغني، قال: وخرج ليلة أخرى بصرة فأعطاها امرأة بغيًا، فلما أصبحوا (قالوا) (٥): ألا تعجبون إلى فلانة! جاءها فلان بصرة فأعطاها، وهي لا تمنع (رجلها) (٦) من أحد، فبلغه ذلك فشق عليه وقال: ما أراه تقبل مني، قال: فأتي في المنام فقيل له: قد (تقبل) (٧) منك ما أعطيت هذا الغني، فإنا أردنا أن نريه ⦗٤٥٠⦘ أن في الناس من يتصدق، فيرغب في ذلك، وأما المرأة فإنها إنما تبغي من الحاجة فأردنا أن نعفها.
It is narrated from Hazrat Masruq that he says: A righteous man went out in the darkness of the night with a bag of dirhams. He wanted to give it in charity, when he met a very wealthy person. He gave this bag of dirhams to him. When morning came, people said: People said: Are you not amazed at such-and-such a man and his wealth? Someone came to him with a bag of dirhams and he gave it to him. When this news reached the man, it was very hard on him. He said: I do not think that it was accepted from me when I gave the bag to that wealthy person.
2. The narrator says: That man went out again one night with a bag and gave this bag to a prostitute woman. When morning came, people said: Are you not amazed at such-and-such a woman? So-and-so came to her and gave her a bag, even though this woman does not prevent anyone from coming to her. When this news reached the man, it was very hard on him. He said: I do not think that this charity was accepted from me.
3. The narrator says: Then that man saw a dream and it was said to him: The charity you gave to the rich man has also been accepted from you, because Our intention was to show him that there are people who give charity, so that he too may develop a desire for it. And as for the woman, she only committed adultery out of necessity. Our intention was to make her chaste.
