الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ
أَبي صَالِحٍ ذَكْوَانَ , عَنْ
بعْضِ أَصْحَاب النَّبيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ لِفُلَانٍ نَخْلَةً فِي حَائِطِي ، فَمُرْهُ فَلْيَبعْنِيهَا أَوْ لِيَهَبهَا لِي ، قَالَ : فَأَبى الرَّجُلُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :
" افْعَلْ ، وَلَكَ بهَا نَخْلَةٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ " ، فَأَبى ، فَقَالَ النَّبيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " هَذَا أَبخَلُ النَّاسِ " .
It is narrated from a Companion (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! So-and-so has a tree in my garden. Please tell him to either sell me that tree or gift it to me." But he refused to do so. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him, "Do this, and in exchange you will have a tree in Paradise." But he still did not agree. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "He is the most miserly of people."
