(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ
الْأَخْضَرِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ ، حَدَّثَنِي
أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ ، عَنْ
أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَشَكَا إِلَيْهِ الْحَاجَةَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا عِنْدَكَ شَيْءٌ ؟ " فَأَتَاهُ بِحِلْسٍ وَقَدَحٍ ، وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ يَشْتَرِي هَذَا ؟ " ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ : أَنَا آخُذُهُمَا بِدِرْهَمٍ ، قَالَ : " مَنْ يَزِيدُ عَلَى دِرْهَمٍ ؟ " فَسَكَتَ الْقَوْمُ ، فَقَالَ : مَنْ يَزِيدُ عَلَى دِرْهَمٍ ؟ ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ : أَنَا آخُذُهُمَا بِدِرْهَمَيْنِ ، قَالَ : " هُمَا لَكَ " ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " إِنَّ الْمَسْأَلَةَ لَا تَحِلُّ إِلَّا لِأَحَدِ ثَلَاثٍ ذِي دَمٍ مُوجِعٍ ، أَوْ غُرْمٍ مُفْظِعٍ ، أَوْ فَقْرٍ مُدْقِعٍ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that an Ansari came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and complained about his poverty. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him, "Do you have anything?" He brought a bowl and a mat. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Who will buy these?" A man said, "I will buy both these things for one dirham." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Who will give more than one dirham?" The people remained silent. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated the announcement. Then a man said, "I will buy both these things for two dirhams." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Both these things are yours." Then he said, "Asking (begging) is only permissible in one of three cases: the person who is near death, the debt that shakes a person, and the poverty that makes one sit on the ground (destitute)."
