ahmad:22739Yaḥyá b. Ādam > Ibn Mubārak > Ḥaywah And ʿAttāb > ʿAbdullāh > Ḥaywah > ʿUmar b. Mālik al-Maʿāfirī > a man from Qawmih > Ḥaḍar Dhalik ʿĀm al-Maḍīq > ʿUbādah b. al-Ṣāmit Akhbar Muʿāwiyah Ḥīn Saʾalah

[Machine] About the man who asked the Prophet ﷺ for a rope before it was distributed, the Prophet ﷺ said to leave it until it is distributed, and he said that it is reproachful until we distribute, then if you wish, we will give you a rope, and if you wish, we will give you a sum.  

أحمد:٢٢٧٣٩حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ مُبَارَكٍ عَنْ حَيْوَةَ وَعَتَّابٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ أَخْبَرَنَا حَيْوَةُ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْمَعَافِرِيِّ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ قَوْمِهِ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ حَضَرَ ذَلِكَ عَامَ الْمَضِيقِ أَنَّ عُبَادَةَ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ أَخْبَرَ مُعَاوِيَةَ حِينَ سَأَلَهُ

عَنِ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عِقَالًا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقْسِمَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اتْرُكْهُ حَتَّى يُقْسَمَ وَقَالَ عَتَّابٌ حَتَّى نَقْسِمَ ثُمَّ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَعْطَيْنَاكَ عِقَالًا وَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَعْطَيْنَاكَ مِرَارًا
