وحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عُمَيْرًا مَوْلَى آبِي اللَّحْمِ ، قَالَ : أَمَرَنِي مَوْلَايَ أَنْ أُقَدِّدَ لَحْمًا ، فَجَاءَنِي مِسْكِينٌ فَأَطْعَمْتُهُ مِنْهُ ، فَعَلِمَ بِذَلِكَ مَوْلَايَ فَضَرَبَنِي ، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ ، فَدَعَاهُ فَقَالَ : " لِمَ ضَرَبْتَهُ " ، فَقَالَ : يُعْطِي طَعَامِي بِغَيْرِ أَنْ آمُرَهُ ، فَقَالَ : " الْأَجْرُ بَيْنَكُمَا " .
'Umair, the freed slave of Abi'l-Lahm, said: My master commanded me to cut some meat in strips; (as I was doing it) a poor man came to me and I gave him some of it to eat. My master came to know of that, and he beat me. I came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and narrated it to him. He (the Holy Prophet) summoned him and said: Why did you beat him? He (Abi'l-Lahm) said: He gives away my food without being commanded to do so. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: The reward would be shared by you two.
