ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ غَرْفَ الْمَرْءِ مِنْ مَرَقَتِهِ لِجِيرَانِهِ إِنَّمَا يَغْرِفُ لَهُمْ مِنْ غَيْرِ إِسْرَافٍ، وَلَا تَقْتِيرٍ

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, "When you prepare a broth, add plenty of water to it, then share some of it with the people of your neighbors, and treat them kindly."  

ابن حبّان:٥١٤أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي مَعْشَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا صَنَعْتَ مَرَقَةً فَأَكْثِرْ مَاءَهَا ثُمَّ انْظُرْ أَهْلَ بَيْتٍ مِنْ جِيرَانِكَ فَاحْسُهُمْ مِنْهَا بِمَعْرُوفٍ»
