"عَنِ الأَحْوص، عَنْ أَبيه قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَرَرْتُ بِرَجُلٍ فَلَمْ يُضيِّفْني، وَلَمْ يقرنِي، ثُمَّ مَرَّ بِي فَأجْزِيه؟ قَالَ: بَلْ أَقْره".

ذِكْرُ مَا يَجِبُ عَلَى الْمَرْءِ مِنْ مُجَازَاةِ الْخَيْرِ لِأَخِيهِ الْمُسْلِمِ عَلَى أَعْمَالِهِ الصَّالِحَةِ وَالسَّيِّئَةِ

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَرَرْتُ بِرَجُلٍ فَلَمْ يُضَيِّفْنِي وَلَمْ يَقْرِنِي أَفَأَحْتَكِمُ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «بَلِ اقْرِهِ»
