[Machine] Sa'd went to his palace in Al-Aqiq and found a slave cutting a tree, so he took it from him. When he returned, the slave's people came to him and asked him to return what he took from their slave. He said, "I seek refuge in Allah from returning anything that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ left me as a charity, so he did not return anything to them." And Abu Abdullah informed us, and Abu Al-Fadl bin Ibrahim informed us, and Ahmad bin Salamah informed us, and Ishaq bin Ibrahim and Haroon bin Abdullah informed us, from Abu 'Aamir Al-'Aqadi, from Abdullah bin Ja'far, from the lineage of Al-Miswar bin Makhrama. He mentioned it in a similar manner except that he said, "He found a boy cutting or hitting a tree, so he took him and refused to return anything to them."  

أَنَّ سَعْدًا ؓ رَكِبَ إِلَى قَصْرِهِ بِالْعَقِيقِ فَوَجَدَ عَبْدًا يَقْطَعُ شَجَرًا فَاسْتَلَبَهُ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ جَاءَهُ أَهْلُ الْعَبْدِ يَسْأَلُونَهُ أَنْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ مَا أَخَذَ مِنْ عَبْدِهِمْ قَالَ مَعَاذَ اللهِ أَنْ أَرُدَّ شَيْئًا نَفَلَنِيهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ شَيْئًا 9973 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ أنا أَبُو الْفَضْلِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَهَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَامِرٍ الْعَقَدِيِّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ مِنْ وَلَدِ الْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ فَذَكَرَهُ بِنَحْوِهِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ فَوَجَدَ غُلَامًا يَقْطَعُ شَجَرًا أَوْ يَخْبِطُهُ فَسَلَبَهُ وَقَالَ فِي آخِرِهِ وَأَبَى أَنْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ
