ذِكْرُ الِاسْتِحْبَابِ لِلْمَرْءِ أَنْ تُرَى عَلَيْهِ أَثَرُ نِعْمَةِ اللَّهِ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ تِلْكَ النِّعْمَةُ فِي رَأْيِ الْعَيْنِ قَلِيلَةً؛ إِذِ الْقَلِيلُ مِنْ نِعَمِ اللَّهِ كَثِيرٌ

[Machine] We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the Battle of Banu Anmar. While I was descending beneath a tree, suddenly the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, so I said, "O Messenger of Allah, come to the shade." So, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came down and Jabir said, "I then went to gather some grass for us, and I found a worn-out camel rug among it, so I broke it and brought it close to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Where did you get this from?" I said, "We brought it, O Messenger of Allah, from Al-Madinah." Jabir said, "We have a companion with us whom we are preparing for, so he can take care of our needs." He said, "So, I prepared it for him, then he turned while hiding during the hottest part of the day, wearing two worn-out sheets that he inherited." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then looked at him and said, "Doesn't he have any other clothes besides these two?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, he has two clothes for the time of hardship which I dressed him in." He said, "Let him call him, and instruct him to wear them." So, I called him, and he wore them. Then, he proceeded to leave while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Doesn't he strike his neck out for the sake of Allah? Isn't this better?" The man heard this and said, "O Messenger of Allah, in the path of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "In the path of Allah." So, the man was killed in the path of Allah.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam that Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari said, "We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the raid on the Banu Ammar tribe." Jabir said, "I was resting under a tree when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came. I said, 'Messenger of Allah; come to the shade.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat down, and I stood up and went to a sack of ours. I looked in it for something and found a small cucumber and broke it. Then I brought it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said, 'From where did you get this?' I said, 'We brought it from Madina, Messenger of Allah.' " Jabir continued, "We had a friend of ours with us whom we used to equip to go out to guard our mounts. I gave him what was necessary and then he turned about to go to the mounts and he was wearing two threadbare cloaks of his. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked at him and said, 'Does he have two garments other than these?' I said, 'Yes, Messenger of Allah. He has two garments in the bag.' I gave them to him. He said, 'Let him go and put them on.' I let him go to put them on. As he turned to go, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ exclaimed, 'May Allah strike his neck. Isn't that better for him?' He said (taking him literally), 'Messenger of Allah, in the way of Allah.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'In the way of Allah.' " Jabir added, "The man was killed in the way of Allah."
