[Machine] Al-Qa'nabi narrated to us, Hatim ibn Isma'il narrated to us, Yazid ibn Abi 'Ubayd said: I heard Umair, the servant of Abu al-Lahm, saying: My master ordered me to prepare meat for him, so a poor man came to me and I fed him from it. My master struck me, so I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him about it. The Prophet ﷺ called my master and asked him: Why did you hit him? He replied: He fed my food without my permission. The Prophet ﷺ said: "The reward is between you both." Al-Dhahabi remained silent about it in his summary.
