اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الزَّاهِدُ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ بَحْرٍ الْبَرِّيُّ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ السَّيْلَحِينِيُّ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ غَزِيَّةَ، عَنْ شُرَحْبِيلَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ أُوتِيَ إِلَيْهِ مَعْرُوفٌ فَوَجَدَ فَلْيُكَافِئْهُ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَلْيُثْنِ بِهِ؛ فَإِنَّ مَنْ أَثْنَى بِهِ فَقَدْ شَكَرَهُ، وَمَنْ كَتَمَهُ فَقَدْ كَفَرَهُ، وَمَنْ تَحَلَّى بِمَا لَمْ يُعْطَ كَانَ كَلَابِسِ ثَوْبَيْ زُورٍ ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever is given something good, let him accept it and then also repay it; and whoever does not have the means to repay it, let him praise him. Whoever praises him has, as it were, thanked him, and whoever conceals it has, as it were, been ungrateful; and whoever displays something as a gift when it was not given to him is like one who wears two garments of falsehood."
