٤٢۔ كتاب المساقاة

42.2 Giving water in charity, or as a gift, and whoever thinks that giving water in charity, or as a gift or by way of a testament is permissible, whether it is divided or not

٤٢۔٢ بَابٌ في الشُّرْبِ، وَمَنْ رَأَى صَدَقَةَ الْمَاءِ وَهِبَتَهُ وَوَصِيَّتَهُ جَائِزَةً، مَقْسُومًا كَانَ أَوْ غَيْرَ مَقْسُومٍ

[Machine] Uthman said, the Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever buys the well of Rumah and its bucket will serve as the buckets of the Muslims." So Uthman bought it.

وَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «مَنْ يَشْتَرِي بِئْرَ رُومَةَ فَيَكُونُ دَلْوُهُ فِيهَا كَدِلاَءِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ». فَاشْتَرَاهَا عُثْمَانُ ؓ .

A tumbler (full of milk or water) was brought to the Prophet ﷺ who drank from it, while on his right side there was sitting a boy who was the youngest of those who were present and on his left side there were old men. The Prophet ﷺ asked, "O boy, will you allow me to give it (i.e. the rest of the drink) to the old men?" The boy said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I will not give preference to anyone over me to drink the rest of it from which you have drunk." So, the Prophet ﷺ gave it to him.  

البخاري:٢٣٥١حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو غَسَّانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو حَازِمٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ؓ قَالَ

أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِقَدَحٍ فَشَرِبَ مِنْهُ وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ غُلاَمٌ أَصْغَرُ الْقَوْمِ وَالأَشْيَاخُ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ فَقَالَ يَا غُلاَمُ أَتَأْذَنُ لِي أَنْ أُعْطِيَهُ الأَشْيَاخَ قَالَ مَا كُنْتُ لأُوثِرَ بِفَضْلِي مِنْكَ أَحَدًا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ

Anas bin Malik said, that once a domestic sheep was milked for Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was in the house of Anas bin Malik. The milk was mixed with water drawn from the well in Anas's house. A tumbler of it was presented to Messenger of Allah ﷺ who drank from it. Then Abu Bakr was sitting on his left side and a bedouin on his right side. When the Prophet ﷺ removed the tumbler from his mouth, ʿUmar was afraid that the Prophet ﷺ might give it to the bedouin, so he said. "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Give it to Abu Bakr who is sitting by your side." But the Prophet ﷺ gave it to the bedouin, who was to his right and said, "You should start with the one on your right side."  

البخاري:٢٣٥٢حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ؓ

أَنَّهَا حُلِبَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ شَاةٌ دَاجِنٌ وَهْىَ فِي دَارِ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ وَشِيبَ لَبَنُهَا بِمَاءٍ مِنَ الْبِئْرِ الَّتِي فِي دَارِ أَنَسٍ فَأَعْطَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْقَدَحَ فَشَرِبَ مِنْهُ حَتَّى إِذَا نَزَعَ الْقَدَحَ مِنْ فِيهِ وَعَلَى يَسَارِهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ وَخَافَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهُ الأَعْرَابِيَّ أَعْطِ أَبَا بَكْرٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عِنْدَكَ فَأَعْطَاهُ الأَعْرَابِيَّ الَّذِي عَلَى يَمِينِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ الأَيْمَنَ فَالأَيْمَنَ
