ahmad:13559Muḥammad b. Yazīd > Abū Salamah Ṣāḥib al-Ṭaʿām

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me to a Christian tailor to have him send some clothes to Maysarah. So, I went to him and said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has sent me to you to send clothes to Maysarah." He asked, "What is Maysarah? And when is Maysarah?" I swear by Allah, Muhammad has never lied or betrayed. So, I returned and went to the Prophet ﷺ . When he saw me, he said, "The enemy of Allah has lied. I am better than anyone who would wear a garment made of various pieces stitched together. It is better for him to hold on to his trust or what is entrusted to him."  

أحمد:١٣٥٥٩حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ صَاحِبُ الطَّعَامِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي جَابِرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ وَلَيْسَ بِجَابِرٍ الْجُعْفِيِّ عَنِ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ

بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى حَلِيقٍ النَّصْرَانِيِّ لِيَبْعَثَ إِلَيْهِ بِأَثْوَابٍ إِلَى الْمَيْسَرَةِ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ بَعَثَنِي إِلَيْكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِتَبْعَثَ إِلَيْهِ بِأَثْوَابٍ إِلَى الْمَيْسَرَةِ فَقَالَ وَمَا الْمَيْسَرَةُ؟ وَمَتَى الْمَيْسَرَةُ؟ وَاللهِ مَا لِمُحَمَّدٍ ثَاغِيَةٌ وَلَا رَاغِيَةٌ فَرَجَعْتُ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَلَمَّا رَآنِي قَالَ كَذَبَ عَدُوُّ اللهِ أَنَا خَيْرُ مَنْ بَايَعَ لَأَنْ يَلْبَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ ثَوْبًا مِنْ رِقَاعٍ شَتَّى خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ بِأَمَانَتِهِ أَوْ فِي أَمَانَتِهِ مَا لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ
