8. Shāmīs
٨۔ مسند الشاميين
[Machine] I came to the Prophet (PBUH) and he looked at me attentively and said, "Are you the owner of a herd of camels or sheep?" I replied, "From both, Allah has blessed me with abundance and excellence." He said, "Then you should give their offspring in charity, even with good eyesight and ears. Give them as charities, and Allah will reward you accordingly. Then Sufyan uttered a word that I did not understand and said, "May it be a blessing from Allah?" Then Allah's Messenger answered, "May Allah help you the most. Mousa (Moses) helped his family members the most. If you want, I can bring the offspring to you right now." I asked, "To whom should I call?" He replied, "Call them to Allah and to the ties of kinship." I said, "A man from my tribe came to me and I swore not to give him, should I still give it to him?" The Prophet said, "Make amends for your vow and give to the one who is better. What if you had two servants, one obeys you, does not betray you, does not lie to you, and the other betrays you and lies to you?" I said, "No, but the one who does not betray or lie to me and speaks the truth is more beloved to me." He said, "That is how you are in the sight of your Lord."
أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَصَعَّدَ فِيَّ النَّظَرَ وَصَوَّبَ وَقَالَ أَرَبُّ إِبِلٍ أَنْتَ أَوْ رَبُّ غَنَمٍ؟ قَالَ مِنْ كُلٍّ قَدْ آتَانِي اللهُ فَأَكْثَرَ وَأَطْيَبَ قَالَ فَتُنْتِجُهَا وَافِيَةً أَعْيُنُهَا وَآذَانُهَا فَتَجْدَعُ هَذِهِ فَتَقُولُ صَرْمَا ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ سُفْيَانُ بِكَلِمَةٍ لَمْ أَفْهَمْهَا وَتَقُولُ بَحِيرَةَ اللهِ ؟ فَسَاعِدُ اللهِ أَشَدُّ وَمُوسَاهُ أَحَدُّ وَلَوْ شَاءَأَنْ يَأْتِيَكَ بِهَا صَرْمَا أَتَاكَ قُلْتُ إِلَى مَا تَدْعُو؟ قَالَ إِلَى اللهِ وَإِلَى الرَّحِمِ قُلْتُ يَأْتِينِي الرَّجُلُ مِنْ بَنِي عَمِّي فَأَحْلِفُ أَنْ لَا أُعْطِيَهُ ثُمَّ أُعْطِيهِ؟ قَالَ فَكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ كَانَ لَكَ عَبْدَانِ أَحَدُهُمَا يُطِيعُكَ وَلَا يَخُونُكَ وَلَا يَكْذِبُكَ وَالْآخَرُ يَخُونُكَ وَيَكْذِبُكَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَا بَلِ الَّذِي لَا يَخُونُنِي وَلَا يَكْذِبُنِي وَيَصْدُقُنِي الْحَدِيثَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ قَالَ كَذَاكُمْ أَنْتُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّكُمْ ﷻ
[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a garment or two garments on me, and he asked me, "Do you have any wealth?" I said, "Yes, Allah has given me from all His wealth, from his horses and camels, and sheep and slaves." He said, "So when Allah has given you wealth, let his blessings be seen upon you." I rejoiced in it, wearing it with pride.
أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَعَلَيَّ شَمْلَةٌ أَوْ شَمْلَتَانِ فَقَالَ لِي هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ مَالٍ؟ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَدْ آتَانِي اللهُ ﷻ مِنْ كُلِّ مَالِهِ مِنْ خَيْلِهِ وَإِبِلِهِ وَغَنَمِهِ وَرَقِيقِهِ فَقَالَ فَإِذَا آتَاكَ اللهُ مَالًا فَلْيَرَ عَلَيْكَ نِعْمَتَهُ فَرُحْتُ إِلَيْهِ فِي حُلَّةٍ
فَغَدَوْتُ إِلَيْهِ فِي حُلَّةٍ حَمْرَاءَ
"I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! I stayed with a man who did not entertain me nor behave hospitably with me. Then he came to stay with me, shall I reciprocate the same to him?' He ( ﷺ said: 'No, entertain him." He said: 'He ( ﷺ saw me wearing tattered clothes and said:'(Do you have any wealth?' I said: 'Allah has given me various kinds of wealth through camels and goats.' He said: 'Then let it be seen on you.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2006)
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الرَّجُلُ أَمُرُّ بِهِ فَلَا يُضَيِّفُنِي وَلَا يَقْرِينِي فَيَمُرُّ بِي فَأَجْزِيهِ؟ قَالَ لَا بَلْ اقْرِهِ قَالَ فَرَآنِي رَثَّ الثِّيَابِ فَقَالَ هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ مَالٍ؟ فَقُلْتُ قَدْأَعْطَانِي اللهُ ﷻ مِنْ كُلِّ الْمَالِ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ وَالْغَنَمِ قَالَ فَلْيُرَ أَثَرُ نِعْمَةِ اللهِ عَلَيْكَ
The Prophet ﷺ said: Hands are of three types: Allah's hand is the upper one; the bestower's hand is the one near it; the beggar's hand is the lower one. So bestow what is surplus, and do not submit yourself to the demand of your soul. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1649)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْأَيْدِي ثَلَاثَةٌ فَيَدُ اللهِ الْعُلْيَا وَيَدُ الْمُعْطِي الَّتِي تَلِيهَا وَيَدُ السَّائِلِ السُّفْلَى فَأَعْطِيَنَّ الْفَضْلَ وَلَا تَعْجَزْ عَنْ نَفْسِكَ
