Hadith 21718

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ , حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ , عن عطاء بن السائب , قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا إِسْحَاقَ يُحَدِّثُ , أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا حَبِيبَةَ , قَالَ : أَوْصَى رَجُلٌ بِدَنَانِيرَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ , فَسُئِلَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ , فَحَدَّثَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " مَثَلُ الَّذِي يُعْتِقُ أَوْ يَتَصَدَّقُ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ , مَثَلُ الَّذِي يُهْدِي بَعْدَمَا يَشْبَعُ " , قَالَ أَبُو حَبِيبَةَ : فَأَصَابَنِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْءٌ.
Abu Habibah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that a man, at the time of his death, made a bequest to spend some of his wealth in the way of Allah. Hazrat Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about this, so he narrated this hadith from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him): Whoever, at the time of his death, frees a slave or gives charity, his example is like that of a person who gives away what is left over after he has quenched his own thirst.
