ahmad:6747ʿAbd al-Wahhāb al-Khaffāf > Ḥusayn > ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb from his father from his grandfather

[Machine] A man asked the Prophet ﷺ, "I don't have any money and I have an orphan. Should I spend from my orphan's wealth?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Spend from your orphan's wealth in a moderate way, without being extravagant. Or he said, do not use his wealth to enhance your own wealth, for surely Husain will come."  

أحمد:٦٧٤٧حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الْخَفَّافُ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ

أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ لِي مَالٌ وَلِي يَتِيمٌ؟ فَقَالَ كُلْ مِنْ مَالِ يَتِيمِكَ غَيْرَ مُسْرِفٍ أَوْ قَالَ وَلَا تَفْدِي مَالَكَ بِمَالِهِ شَكَّ حُسَيْنٌ

“A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'I do not have anything and I have no wealth, but I have an orphan (under my care) who has wealth.” He said: “Eat from the wealth of your orphan, without being extravagant or use it for trade.” He (narrator) said: “And I think he said: 'Do not preserve your wealth using his instead.'”  

ابن ماجة:٢٧١٨حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الأَزْهَرِ حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ الْمُعَلِّمُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لاَ أَجِدُ شَيْئًا وَلَيْسَ لِي مَالٌ وَلِي يَتِيمٌ لَهُ مَالٌ قَالَ كُلْ مِنْ مَالِ يَتِيمِكَ غَيْرَ مُسْرِفٍ وَلاَ مُتَأَثِّلٍ مَالاً قَالَ وَأَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ وَلاَ تَقِي مَالَكَ بِمَالِهِ  

ahmad:7022ʿAbd al-Wahhāb > Ḥusayn > ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb from his father from his grandfather

[Machine] A man asked the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I do not have any wealth, but I have an orphan under my care." The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Every amount you spend from the wealth of the orphan, as long as you do not exceed the necessary expenses or waste the money, will be rewarded. And spending your wealth on him is considered an act of charity. Even if you were to mix your wealth with his, it would still be a means of virtue." Thereupon, a man named Husayn asked, expressing doubt.
