Bayhaqi 18567 — The virtue of spending in the way of Allah the Mighty

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أنبأ جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ، ثنا بَشَّارُ بْنُ أَبِي سَيْفٍ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ غُطَيْفٍ. قَالَ يَزِيدُ: وَأَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ، عَنْ وَاصِلٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ غُطَيْفٍ، قَالَ: دَخَلْنَا عَلَى أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ الْجَرَّاحِ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ وَعِنْدَهُ امْرَأَتُهُ تَحِيفُهُ، وَوَجْهُهُ مِمَّا يَلِي الْحَائِطَ، فَقُلْنَا: كَيْفَ بَاتَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ؟ فَقَالَتْ: بَاتَ بِأَجْرٍ، فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ: مَا بِتُّ بِأَجْرٍ، فَسَاءَنَا ذَلِكَ وَسَكَتْنَا، فَقَالَ: لَا تَسْأَلُونَ عَمَّا قُلْتُ؟ فَقُلْنَا: مَا سَرَّنَا ذَلِكَ فَنَسْأَلَكَ عَنْهُ. فَقَالَ: إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَنْ أَنْفَقَ نَفَقَةً فَاضِلَةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَسَبْعُمِائَةِ ضِعْفٍ، وَمَنْ أَنْفَقَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ، أَوْ أَمَاطَ أَذًى عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ، أَوْ تَصَدَّقَ بِصَدَقَةٍ فَحَسَنَةٌ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا، وَالصَّوْمُ جُنَّةٌ مَا لَمْ يَخْرِقْهَا، وَمَنِ ابْتَلَاهُ اللهُ بِبَلَاءٍ فِي جَسَدِهِ فَهُوَ لَهُ حِطَّةٌ "..
Al-Walid bin Abd al-Rahman narrates from Iyad bin Ghutayf: We visited Abu Ubaydah bin al-Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him) in his final illness; his wife was with him, and his face was turned towards the wall. We asked: "How did Abu Ubaydah spend the night?" His wife said: "He spent the night earning reward." Abu Ubaydah (may Allah be pleased with him) turned towards us and said: "I did not spend the night in reward." That troubled us, and we fell silent. Then he said: "Why do you not ask me about what I said?" We said: "It did not please us, so that we should ask you about it." He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever spends surplus wealth in the way of Allah will be given up to seven hundred times the reward; whoever spends on himself and his family, or removes something harmful from the road, or gives some charity, his good deed will be rewarded tenfold; fasting, when completed, serves as a shield; and whoever Allah, the Lord of Might, afflicts with a bodily illness, that illness will become a means of forgiveness of his sins."
