أَخْبَرَنَا
أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلانَ ، بِأَذَنَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحِيَى الزِّمَّانِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا
عَبْدُ الُوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ ، عَنْ
أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ
أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ
جَابِرٍ ، أَنَّ رَجُلا يُقَالُ لَهُ : أَبُو مَذْكُورٍ ، دَبَّرَ غُلامًا لَهُ ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُ ، وَكَانَ يُقَالُ لِلْغُلامِ : يَعْقُوبُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ يَشْتَرِي هَذَا ؟ " فَاشْتَرَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي عَدِيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ بِثَمَنِ مِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ مُحْتَاجًا ، فَلِيَبْدَأْ بِنَفْسِهِ ، فَإِنْ كَانَ لَهُ فَضْلٌ فَبِأَهْلِهِ ، فَإِنْ كَانَ لَهُ فَضْلٌ فَبِأَقْرِبَائِهِ ، فَإِنْ كَانَ لَهُ فَضْلٌ فَهَا هُنَا وَهَاهُنَا وَهَاهُنَا " .
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: There was a man named Abu Mazkoor who freed his slave as a Mudabbar. That man had no wealth except for that slave. The slave's name was Yaqub. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) inquired: Who will buy him? So a man from Banu Adi bought him for eight hundred dirhams. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: When a person is poor, he should begin with himself; if he has surplus wealth, he should spend on his wife; if he has surplus wealth, he should spend on his close relatives; if there is still surplus, then he should spend here and there.
