مُوسَى بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الزَّمْعِيُّ ، حَدَّثَتْنِي عَمَّتِي
قُرَيْبَةُ بِنْتُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ أُمَّهَا
كَرِيمَةَ بِنْتَ الْمِقْدَادِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو أَخْبَرَتْهَا ، عَنِ
ضُبَاعَةَ بِنْتِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنِ
الْمِقْدَادِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ إِلَى الْبَقِيعِ وَهُوَ : الْمَقْبَرَةُ لِحَاجَتِهِ ، وَكَانَ النَّاسُ لَا يَذْهَبُ أَحَدُهُمْ فِي حَاجَتِهِ إِلَّا فِي الْيَوْمَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثَةِ ، فَإِنَّمَا يَبْعَرُ كَمَا تَبْعَرُ الْإِبِلُ ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ خَرِبَةً ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ لِحَاجَتِهِ ، إِذْ رَأَى جُرَذًا أَخْرَجَ مِنْ جُحْرٍ دِينَارًا ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ فَأَخْرَجَ آخَرَ حَتَّى أَخْرَجَ سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ دِينَارًا ، ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَ طَرَفَ خِرْقَةٍ حَمْرَاءَ . قَالَ الْمِقْدَادُ : فَسَلَلْتُ الْخِرْقَةَ ، فَوَجَدْتُ فِيهَا دِينَارًا ، فَتَمَّتْ ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ دِينَارًا ، فَخَرَجْتُ بِهَا حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ بِهَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ خَبَرَهَا ، فَقُلْتُ : خُذْ صَدَقَتَهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " ارْجِعْ بِهَا ، لَا صَدَقَةَ فِيهَا بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ فِيهَا " ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " لَعَلَّكَ أَتْبَعْتَ يَدَكَ فِي الحُجْرِ " قُلْتُ : لَا وَالَّذِي أَكْرَمَكَ بِالْحَقِّ . قَالَ : فَلَمْ يَفْنَ آخِرُهَا حَتَّى مَاتَ .
´It was narrated from Miqdad bin 'Amr:` That he went out one day to Al-Baqi', which is the graveyard, to relieve himself. People used to go out to relieve themselves only every two or three days, and their faces was like that of a camel (because of hunger and rough food). Then he entered a ruin and while he was squatting to relieve himself, he saw a rat bringing a Dinar out of a hole, then it went in and brought out another, until it had brought out seventeen Dinars. Then it brought out a piece of red rag.Miqdad said: “I picked up the rag and found another Dinar inside it, thus completing eighteen Dinar. I took them out and brought them to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and told him what had happened. I said, 'Take its Sadaqah (charity), O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).' He said: 'Take them back, for no Sadaqah is due on them. May Allah (SWT) bless them for you.' Then he said: 'Perhaps you put your hand in the hole?' I said: 'No, by the One Who has honored you with the truth.”
