(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
إِسْمَاعِيلُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا
أَيُّوبُ ، عَنْ
أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ
جَابِرٍ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ ، يُقَالُ لَهُ : أَبُو مَذْكُورٍ أَعْتَقَ غُلَامًا لَهُ ، يُقَالُ لَهُ : يَعْقُوبُ ، عَنْ دُبُرٍ ، لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُ ، فَدَعَا بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " مَنْ يَشْتَرِيهِ ، مَنْ يَشْتَرِيهِ ؟ " فَاشْتَرَاهُ نُعَيْمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ النَّحَّامُ بِثَمَانِ مِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ ، فَدَفَعَهَا إِلَيْهِ ، وَقَالَ : " إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَقِيرًا ، فَلْيَبْدَأْ بِنَفْسِهِ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ فَضْلًا ، فَعَلَى عِيَالِهِ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ فَضْلًا فَعَلَى ذَوِي قَرَابَتِهِ ، أَوْ قَالَ : عَلَى ذِي رَحِمِهِ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ فَضْلًا ، فَهَهُنَا وَهَهُنَا " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the blessed era of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), an Ansari man whose name was "Madhkoor" freed his slave—whose name was Yaqub—saying, "After my death, you are free," and he had no other wealth except him. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) learned of his destitute condition, he said, "Who will buy this slave from me?" Na’eem bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) bought him for eight hundred dirhams. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave that money to the man and said: "When any of you is in difficulty, he should begin charity with himself; if anything remains, then on his children, then on his close relatives, and then spend on those to his right and left."
