ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِإكْثَارِ الْمَاءِ فِي مَرَقَتِهِ، وَالْغَرْفِ لِجِيرَانِهِ بَعْدَهُ

ابن حبّان:٥١٣أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا طَبَخْتَ قِدْرًا فَأَكْثِرْ مَرَقَتَهَا فَإِنَّهُ أَوْسَعُ لِلْأَهْلِ وَالْجِيرَانِ»
