ذِكْرُ الزَّجْرِ عَنْ تَرْكِ تَعَاهُدِ الْمَرْءِ ذَوَاتَ الْأَرْبَعِ بِالْإحْسَانِ إِلَيْهَا
[Machine] Uyunah and al-Aqra' asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for something, so he commanded Muawiyah to write it for them, and he did so. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sealed it and commanded for it to be delivered to them. As for Uyunah, he asked, "What is in it?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "It contains what I have commanded." Uyunah accepted it and tied it in his turban. As for al-Aqra', he said, "I am carrying a scroll, but I do not know its contents, like the scroll of Mutammis." Muawiyah informed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about their statements. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to attend to his needs and passed by a tied camel at the entrance of the mosque from early morning until later in the day, while it remained in the same condition. He asked, "Where is the owner of this camel?" When he was sought, he could not be found. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Fear Allah regarding these animals. Ride them in good health and slaughter them when they are fat like the animals that are neglected. Verily, whoever asks while having what is sufficient for him, it is as if he is accumulating embers from Hellfire." He asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is sufficient for him?" He replied, "What provides him with dinner and supper."
أَنَّ عُيَيْنَةَ وَالْأَقْرَعَ سَأَلَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ شَيْئًا فَأَمَرَ مُعَاوِيَةَ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ بِهِ لَهُمَا فَفَعَلَ وَخَتَمَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَمَرَهُ بِدَفْعِهِ إِلَيْهِمَا فَأَمَّا عُيَيْنَةُ فقَالَ مَا فِيهِ؟ فقَالَ فِيهِ مَا أُمِرْتُ بِهِ فَقَبَّلَهُ وَعَقَدَهُ فِي عِمَامَتِهِ وَأَمَّا الْأَقْرَعُ فقَالَ أَحْمِلُ صَحِيفَةً لَا أَدْرِي مَا فِيهَا كَصَحِيفَةِ الْمُتَلَمِّسِ؟ فَأَخْبَرَ مُعَاوِيَةُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِقَوْلِهِمَا فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي حَاجَتِهِ فَمَرَّ بِبَعِيرٍ مُنَاخٍ عَلَى بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ مِنْ أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ ثُمَّ مَرَّ بِهِ مِنْ آخِرِ النَّهَارِ وَهُوَ عَلَى حَالِهِ فقَالَ «أَيْنَ صَاحِبُ هَذَا الْبَعِيرِ؟ » فَابْتُغِيَ فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ فقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ فِي هَذِهِ الْبَهَائِمِ ارْكَبُوهَا صِحَاحًا وَكُلُوهَا سِمَانًا كَالْمُتَسَخِّطِ آنِفًا إِنَّهُ مَنْ سَأَلَ وَعِنْدَهُ مَا يُغْنِيهِ فَإِنَّمَا يَسْتَكْثِرُ مِنْ جَمْرِ جَهَنَّمَ» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا يُغْنِيهِ؟ قَالَ «مَا يُغَدِّيهِ وَيُعَشِّيهِ»
