Hadith 2445
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُمَرَ حَفْصُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَلِيمُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ ، سَمِعْتُ أَبِي ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، يَقُولُ : " نَشَأْتُ يَتِيمًا وَهَاجَرْتُ مِسْكِينًا وَكُنْتُ أَجِيرًا لِابْنَةِ غَزْوَانَ بِطَعَامِ بَطْنِي وَعُقْبَةِ رِجْلِي ، أَحْطِبُ لَهُمْ إِذَا نَزَلُوا وَأَحْدُو لَهُمْ إِذَا رَكِبُوا ، فَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ الدِّينَ قِوَامًا وَجَعَلَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ إِمَامًا " .
´Salim bin Hayyan said:` I heard Abu Hurairah say: “I grew up an orphan, and I emigrated as a poor man, and I was hired by the daughter of Ghazwan in return for food and a turn riding the camel. I would gather firewood for them when they stopped to camp and urge their camels along for them by singing when they rode. Praise is to Allah (SWT) who has caused His religion to prevail and has made Abu Hurairah an Imam.”
Hadith 2511
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِسْحَاق الْحَضْرَمِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْم بْنُ حَيَّانَ ، سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " كَانَ فِيمَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ رَجُلٌ اشْتَرَى عَقَارًا ، فَوَجَدَ فِيهَا جَرَّةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ ، فَقَالَ : اشْتَرَيْتُ مِنْكَ الْأَرْضَ وَلَمْ أَشْتَرِ مِنْكَ الذَّهَبَ ، فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ : إِنَّمَا بِعْتُكَ الْأَرْضَ بِمَا فِيهَا فَتَحَاكَمَا إِلَى رَجُلٍ ، فَقَالَ : أَلَكُمَا وَلَدٌ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا : لِي غُلَامٌ ، وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ : لِي جَارِيَةٌ ، قَالَ : فَأَنْكِحَا الْغُلَامَ الْجَارِيَةَ وَلْيُنْفِقَا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمَا مِنْهُ وَلْيَتَصَدَّقَا " .
´Sulaiman bin Hayyan said:` “I heard my father narrate from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'Among those who came before you there was a man who bought some property and found therein a jar of gold. He said: “I bought land from you, but I did not buy the gold from you.” The man said: “Rather I sold you the land with whatever is in it.” They referred their case to (a third) man who said: “Do you have children?” One of them said: “I have a boy.” The other said: “I have a girl.” He said: “Marry the boy to the girl, and let them spend on themselves from it and give in charity.”
