حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي عُذْرَةَ يُقَالَ لَهُ: أَبُو مَذْكُورٍ، وَكَانَ لَهُ عَبْدٌ قِبْطِيٌّ فَأَعْتَقَهُ عَنْ دُبُرٍ مِنْهُ، وَكَانَ ذَا حَاجَةٍ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ ذَا حَاجَةٍ، فَلْيَبْدَأْ بِنَفْسِهِ "، قَالَ: فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَسْتَنْفِعَ بِهِ، فَبَاعَهُ مِنْ نُعَيْمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ النَّحَّامِ الْعَدَوِيِّ بِثَمَانِ مِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ (١)، ،

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 was 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."
