[Machine] There was a righteous man, ﷺ , from a good people who had harmed them. They said, "O Prophet of Allah, invoke Allah against him." He said, "Go, for you have sufficed him." He said, "And every day he would go out to gather firewood." He said, "So he went out that day with two loaves of bread." He said, "He ate one of them and gave in charity the other." He said, "And he gathered firewood and brought it back safely." He said, "So they came to the righteous man, ﷺ , and said, 'He brought back his firewood safely, without any harm coming to him?' " He said, "So the righteous man, ﷺ , called him and said, 'What did you do today?' " He said, "So he said, 'I went out and had two loaves of bread with me. I gave charity with one of them and ate the other.' " He said, "So the righteous man, ﷺ , said, 'Unravel your firewood.' So he unraveled it, and there was a black snake like the trunk coiled around a branch of the firewood. He said, 'By this, he was protected.' "  

كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قَوْمِ صَالِحٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قَدْ آذَاهُمْ فَقَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ اذْهَبُوا فَقَدْ كُفِيتُمُوهُ قَالَ «وَكَانَ يَخْرُجُ كُلَّ يَوْمَ يَحْتَطِبُ» قَالَ «فَخَرَجَ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَمَعَهُ رَغِيفَانِ» قَالَ «فَأَكَلَ أَحَدَهُمَا وَتَصَدَّقَ بِالْآخَرِ» قَالَ «وَاحْتَطَبَ وَجَاءَ بِحَطَبِهِ سَالِمًا» قَالَ فَجَاءُوا إِلَى صَالِحٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قَالُوا قَدْ جَاءَ بِحَطَبِهِ سَالِمًا لَمْ يُصِبْهُ شَيْءٌ؟ قَالَ فَدَعَاهُ صَالِحٌ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَقَالَ أَيَّ شَيْءٍ صَنَعْتَ الْيَوْمَ؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ خَرَجْتُ وَمَعِيَ قُرْصَانِ فَتَصَدَّقْتُ بِأَحَدِهِمَا وَأَكَلْتُ الْآخَرَ قَالَ فَقَالَ صَالِحٌ حُلَّ حَطَبَكَ فَحَلَّ حَطَبَهُ فَإِذَا فِيهِ أَسْوَدٌ مِثْلُ الْجِذْعِ عَاضًّا عَلَى جِذْلٍ مِنَ الْحَطَبِ قَالَ فَقَالَ بِهَا دُفِعَ عَنْهُ «يَعْنِي بِالصَّدَقَةِ»
