ahmad-zuhd:1042ʿAbdullāh from my father > Ismāʿīl b. Ibrāhīm > Ibn ʿAwn > Muḥammad

[Machine] Abu Mas'ud was approached by a man in need, so he went to his family and saw a gift. Ibn Awun believed that he said it was a sheep and chicken, so he asked, "What is this?" They said, "The man you spoke to sent it." Abu Mas'ud said, "Take it out, take it out. I will take the reward of my intercession in this world."  

الزهد لأحمد:١٠٤٢حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ

أَنَّ أَبَا مَسْعُودٍ كُلِّمَ لِرَجُلٍ فِي حَاجَةٍ فَجَاءَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَرَأَى هَدِيَّةً قَالَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ أَظُنُّهُ قَالَ بَطًّا وَدَجَاجًا فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا؟ فَقَالُوا أَرْسَلَ بِهِ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي كُلِّمْتَ لَهُ فَقَالَ أَخْرِجُوهُ أَخْرِجُوهُ آخُذُ أَجْرَ شَفَاعَتِي فِي الدُّنْيَا
