Hadith 2440
أَخْبَرَنَا
عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، أَخْبَرَنَا
هِشَامٌ، عَنْ
الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ
صَعْصَعَةَ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ، قَالَ: لَقِيتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ وَهُوَ يَسُوقُ جَمَلًا لَهُ، أَوْ يَقُودُهُ، فِي عُنُقِهِ قِرْبَةٌ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا
أَبَا ذَرٍّ، مَا مَالُكَ ؟ . قَالَ: لِي عَمَلِي، فَقُلْتُ: مَا مَالُكَ ؟ . قَالَ: لِي عَمَلِي . قُلْتُ: حَدِّثْنِي حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ:
"مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ أَنْفَقَ زَوْجَيْنِ مِنْ مَالٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا ابْتَدَرَتْهُ حَجَبَةُ الْجَنَّةِ" . قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ: هُوَ دِرْهَمَيْنِ أَوْ أَمَتَيْنِ أَوْ عَبْدَيْنِ أَوْ دَابَّتَيْنِ.
Sa’sa’ah bin Mu’awiyah said: I met Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) who was taking his camel and had a water-skin hanging from his neck. I asked, “O Abu Dharr! What is this? What has happened to you?” He replied, “This is my work.” I asked again, “What has happened to you?” He again replied, “This is my work.” I said, “Narrate to me a hadith which you heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).” He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: “Whoever among the Muslims spends a pair (of something) in the way of Allah, the gatekeepers of Paradise will hasten to welcome him.”
In the narration of Nasa’i, it is stated: “The gatekeepers of Paradise will call him towards themselves (to enter through their gate).” Imam Darimi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: By ‘pair’ is meant: two dirhams, or two slave girls, two slaves, or two riding animals.
