ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ قَوْلَهُ ﷺ «ابْتَدَرَتْهُ خَزَنَةُ الْجَنَّةِ» أَرَادَ بِهِ حَجَبَةَ الْجَنَّةِ
[Machine] I met Abu Dhar wearing a cloak, and he had attached a pouch to it. He poured water into it, then he released it so that his camel could drink from it and give water to its companions. This is a characteristic of the Arabs' noble conduct. So I said, "O Abu Dhar, what is your situation?" He replied, "I have my own wealth." I asked, "O Abu Dhar, what have you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He said, "I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Whoever spends on two, his two sides will obstruct him from entering Paradise.'" I asked, "O Abu Dhar, what are these two sides?" He said, "If they are men, then it is two men, and if they are horses, then it is two horses, and if they are camels, then it is two camels." He counted all categories of wealth until he had mentioned all types. I said, "Yes, O Abu Dhar." He said, "I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'No two Muslims die, having three children, except that Allah admits them to Paradise through His mercy.'"
لَقِيتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ بِالرَّبَذَةِ وَقَدْ أَوْرَدَ رَوَاحِلَ لَهُ فَسَقَاهَا ثُمَّ أَصْدَرَهَا وَقَدْ عَلَّقَ قِرْبَةً فِي عُنُقِ رَاحِلَةٍ لَهُ مِنْهَا لِيَشْرَبَ مِنْهَا وَيَسْقِي أَصْحَابَهُ وَذَلِكَ خُلُقٌ مِنْ أَخْلَاقِ الْعَرَبِ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَا مَالُكَ؟ قَالَ مَالِي عَمَلِي قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَا سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ؟ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ أَنْفَقَ زَوْجَيْنِ مِنْ مَالِهِ ابْتَدَرَتْهُ حَجَبَةُ الْجَنَّةِ» قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَا هَذَانِ الزَّوْجَانِ؟ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ رِجَالًا فَرَجُلَانِ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ خَيْلًا فَفَرَسَانِ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ إِبِلًا فَبَعِيرَانِ حَتَّى عَدَّ أَصْنَافَ الْمَالِ كُلَّهُ قُلْتُ إِيهٍ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمَيْنِ يَمُوتُ لَهُمَا ثَلَاثَةُ أَوْلَادٍ إِلَّا أَدْخَلَهُمَا اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ بِفَضْلِ رَحْمَتِهِ»
