[Machine] I met Abu Darda and he said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'The example of the one who gives in charity at the time of death is like the example of the one who seeks guidance when he is full.'"  

أحمد:٢٧٥٣٣ – حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي حَبِيبَةَ الطَّائِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ

عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فِي حَدِيثِهِ فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَثَلُ الَّذِي يُعْتِقُ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ كَمَثَلِ الَّذِي يُهْدِي إِذَا شَبِعَ
