[Machine] "So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered that his guests be addressed, and he did so. They did not leave anything for him. If anyone were to be left with someone's words, it would be left for Mu'adh with the words of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . So the Prophet ﷺ called him, and he did not leave until he sold his belongings and distributed them among his guests. Then Mu'adh stood up, having no wealth. When he performed Hajj, the Prophet ﷺ sent him to Yemen to collect taxes. Mu'adh was the first to engage in this matter of collecting taxes. He arrived to Abu Bakr from Yemen, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had passed away."  

الطبراني:١٧٢٤٢حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ كَانَ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ شَابًّا جَمِيلًا سَمْحًا مِنْ خَيْرِ شَبَابِ قَوْمِهِ لَا يُسْأَلُ شَيْئًا إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ حَتَّى ادَّانَ دَيْنًا أَغْلَقَ مَالَهُ قَالَ

«فَكَلَّمَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُكَلِّمَ غُرَمَاءَهُ فَفَعَلَ» فَلَمْ يَضَعُوا لَهُ شَيْئًا فَلَوْ تُرِكَ لِأَحَدٍ بِكَلَامِ أَحَدٍ لَتُرِكَ لِمُعَاذٍ بِكَلَامِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ «فَدَعَاهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَلَمْ يَبْرَحْ حَتَّى بَاعَ مَالَهُ وَقَسَّمَهُ بَيْنَ غُرَمَائِهِ» فَقَامَ مُعَاذُ لَا مَالَ لَهُ «فَلَمَّا حَجَّ بَعَثَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ لِيَجْبُرَهُ» قَالَ وَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ تَجِرَ فِي هَذَا الْمَالِ مُعَاذٌ فَقَدِمَ عَلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ وَقَدْ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ
