أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ بِبَغْدَادَ، أنبأ أَبُو عَمْرِو بْنُ السَّمَّاكِ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْمُنَادِي، ثنا أَبُو بَدْرٍ شُجَاعُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، ذَهَبَ الْأَغْنِيَاءُ بِالْأَجْرِ، فَقَالَ: " أَلَسْتُمْ تُصَلُّونَ وَتَصُومُونَ وَتُجَاهِدُونَ؟ " قَالَ: قُلْتُ: بَلَى، وَهُمْ يَفْعَلُونَ كَمَا نَفْعَلُ، يُصَلُّونَ وَيَصُومُونَ وَيُجَاهِدُونَ وَيَتَصَدَّقُونَ وَلَا نَتَصَدَّقُ، قَالَ: " إِنَّ فِيكَ صَدَقَةً كَثِيرَةً، إِنَّ فِي فَضْلِ بَيَانِكَ عَنِ الْأَرْتَمِ تُعَبِّرُ عَنْهُ حَاجَتَهُ صَدَقَةٌ، وَفِي فَضْلِ سَمْعِكَ عَلَى السَّيِّئِ السَّمْعِ تُعَبِّرُ عَنْهُ حَاجَتَهُ صَدَقَةٌ، وَفِي فَضْلِ بَصَرِكَ عَلَى ضَرِيرِ الْبَصَرِ تَهْدِيهِ الطَّرِيقَ صَدَقَةٌ، وَفِي قُوَّتِكَ عَلَى الضَّعِيفِ تُعِينُهُ صَدَقَةٌ، وَفِي إِمَاطَتِكَ الْأَذَى عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ صَدَقَةٌ، وَفِي مُبَاضَعَتِكَ أَهْلَكَ صَدَقَةٌ "، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَيَأْتِي أَحَدُنَا شَهْوَتَهُ وَيُؤْجَرُ؟ قَالَ: " أَرَأَيْتُمْ لَوْ جَعَلْتَهُ فِي غَيْرِ حِلِّهِ أَكَانَ عَلَيْكَ وِزْرٌ؟ " قَالَ: قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: " أَفَتَحْتَسِبُونَ بِالشَّرِّ وَلَا تَحْتَسِبُونَ بِالْخَيْرِ؟ " وَرُوِّينَا هَذَا مِنْ أَوْجُهٍ أُخَرَ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ.
Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I said: O Messenger of Allah! The wealthy have gone ahead in reward. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you not pray, fast and wage jihad?" I said: Of course, but they do just as we do: they pray, fast and wage jihad, and they also give charity, while we do not give charity. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There are countless charities in you: your speaking on behalf of one who cannot speak, so that his need is met, is a charity; your listening on behalf of one who cannot hear, so that a need of his is met, is a charity; showing a blind man the way is a charity; your strength being put to helping a weak man is a charity; your removing something harmful from the road is a charity; and even your intimacy with your wife is a charity." Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I said: O Messenger of Allah! Does one of us fulfil his desire and receive a reward for it? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What do you think: if you fulfilled it in an unlawful place, would you incur sin?" He said: I said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you count the evil and not count the good?"
