ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ لِلْمَرْءِ إِذَا أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُرَى أَثَرُ نِعْمَتِهِ عَلَيْهِ

[Machine] "I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while I was in rags. He asked, 'Do you have any wealth?' I replied, 'Yes.' He asked, 'What kind of wealth?' I said, 'All kinds, Allah has blessed me with camels, slaves, and sheep.' He said, 'When Allah bestows wealth upon you, let it be apparent.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what if a man comes to live with me and does not show me any kindness or conjoin me, but when he leaves, he compensates me for what he has done?' He replied, 'No, refuse it.' Abu Al-Ahwas Awf bin Malik bin Nadlah was his father, and he was a companion."

[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while I was wearing a worn-out cloak. He said, "Do you have any wealth?" I said, "Yes." He asked, "From what?" I said, "From all kinds of wealth, from camels, slaves, horses, and sheep." He said, "If Allah gives you wealth, let Him see it on you." Then he said, "Do you have breeding camels?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Those which have healthy ears?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Then go to Musa (Moses) and learn from him what is lawful and unlawful for you regarding them." I said, "Yes." He said, "Then whatever Allah gives you, and whatever Moses teaches you, consider them both as good." I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Suppose I do not find him?" He said, "Then, act on what he did and send it (the charity, etc.) to the poor, for that is included in what has been said to you."

[Machine] "I came to the Prophet ﷺ while I was in a disheveled state and he said, 'Do you have any wealth?' I said, 'Yes.' He asked, 'Of what kind?' I said, 'Of all kinds, including camels, slaves, horses, and sheep.' He said, 'If Allah gives you wealth, let it be seen on you.' Then he said, 'Your people's camels will produce healthy offspring, so intentionally go to the one that belongs to Moosa and sever its ears, declaring it to be a Bahira, and slit its hump or cut its skin, declaring it to be a Surma, and thus prohibit it for you and your family?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Whatever Allah has given you is lawful, and Moosa repelled an act of aggression from Allah worse than what you did, and Moosa is no better than you.' I asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, what do you say about a man whom I visited, but he did not honor me nor host me, but then he was visited by me and I honored and hosted him?' He said, 'You should honor him.'"
