حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: أَعْتَقَ أَبُو مَذْكُورٍ غُلَامًا لَهُ يُقَالَ لَهُ: يَعْقُوبُ الْقِبْطِيُّ عَنْ دُبُرٍ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: " أَلَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُ؟ " قَالَوا: لَا، قَالَ: " مَنْ يَشْتَرِيهِ مِنِّي؟ " فَاشْتَرَاهُ نُعَيْمُ بْنُ النَّحَّامِ خَتَنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ بِثَمَانِ مِائَةٍ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَنْفِقْهَا عَلَى نَفْسِكَ، فَإِنْ كَانَ فَضْلٌ، فَعَلَى أَهْلِكَ، فَإِنْ كَانَ فَضْلٌ، فَعَلَى أَقَارِبِكَ، فَإِنْ كَانَ فَضْلٌ، (١) فَهَاهُنَا وَهَاهُنَا وَهَاهُنَا " (٢)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the blessed era of the Prophet (ﷺ), an Ansari man whose name is mentioned freed his slave, whose name was Yaqub, saying, "After my death, you are free," and he had no other wealth besides him. When the Prophet (ﷺ) learned of his destitute condition, he said, "Who will buy this slave from me?" Na'eem bin Abdullah bought him for eight hundred dirhams. The Prophet (ﷺ) gave him that money and said, "When any of you is in difficulty, he should begin charity with himself; if anything remains, then on his children, then on his close relatives, and then spend on those to his right and left."
