ahmad:21718Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar > Shuʿbah > ʿAṭāʾ b. al-Sāʾib > Abū Isḥāq > Abū Ḥabībah

"A man made a will leaving some Dinars (to be spent) in the cause of Allah. Abu Ad-Darda' was asked about that, and he narrated that the Prophet said: 'The likeness of the one who frees a slave or gives some charity when he is dying, is that of a man who gives a gift after he has eaten his fill.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3614)   

أحمد:٢١٧١٨حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا إِسْحَاقَ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا حَبِيبَةَ قَالَ

أَوْصَى رَجُلٌ بِدَنَانِيرَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَسُئِلَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ فَحَدَّثَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَثَلُ الَّذِي يُعْتِقُ أَوْ يَتَصَدَّقُ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ مَثَلُ الَّذِي يُهْدِي بَعْدَمَا يَشْبَعُ قَالَ أَبُو حَبِيبَةَ فَأَصَابَنِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْءٌ
