حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، حَدَّثَنِي الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو كَبْشَةَ السَّلُولِيُّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ سَهْلَ ابْنَ الْحَنْظَلِيَّةِ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ، صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّ عُيَيْنَةَ، والْأَقْرَعَ سَأَلَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْئًا، فَأَمَرَ مُعَاوِيَةَ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ بِهِ لَهُمَا، فَفَعَلَ وَخَتَمَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَمَرَ بِدَفْعِهِ إِلَيْهِمَا، فَأَمَّا عُيَيْنَةُ فَقَالَ: مَا فِيهِ؟ قَالَ: فِيهِ الَّذِي أُمِرْتُ بِهِ، فَقَبَّلَهُ، وَعَقَدَهُ فِي عِمَامَتِهِ، وَكَانَ أَحْلَمَ (١) الرَّجُلَيْنِ، وَأَمَّا الْأَقْرَعُ، فَقَالَ: أَحْمِلُ صَحِيفَةً لَا أَدْرِي مَا فِيهَا كَصَحِيفَةِ الْمُتَلَمِّسِ، فَأَخْبَرَ مُعَاوِيَةُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِقَوْلِهِمَا، وَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حَاجَةٍ، فَمَرَّ بِبَعِيرٍ مُنَاخٍ عَلَى بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ مِنْ أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ، ثُمَّ مَرَّ بِهِ آخِرَ النَّهَارِ وَهُوَ عَلَى حَالِهِ، فَقَالَ: " أَيْنَ صَاحِبُ هَذَا الْبَعِيرِ؟ " فَابْتُغِيَ فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " اتَّقُوا اللهَ فِي هَذِهِ الْبَهَائِمِ، ثُمَّ ارْكَبُوهَا (٢) صِحَاحًا،، ، وَكُلُوهَا (١) سِمَانًا كَالْمُتَسَخِّطِ، آنِفًا، إِنَّهُ مَنْ سَأَلَ وَعِنْدَهُ مَا يُغْنِيهِ، فَإِنَّمَا يَسْتَكْثِرُ مِنْ جَمْرِ (٢) جَهَنَّمَ " قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَمَا يُغْنِيهِ؟ قَالَ: " مَا يُغَدِّيهِ أَوْ يُعَشِّيهِ " (٣)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Sahl bin Hanzalah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (ﷺ), Uyainah and Aqra’ asked for something. The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered Amir Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) to write it for them. He wrote it. The Prophet (ﷺ) sealed it and ordered that the letter be handed over to them. Uyainah asked, "What is written in it?" He replied, "What you had wished for." Uyainah kissed it and wrapped it in his turban. Uyainah was more intelligent than both of them, while Aqra’ said, "Should I go around carrying a document like a beggar, about which I do not know what is written in it?" Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) informed the Prophet (ﷺ) about what both of them had said. The Prophet (ﷺ) went out for some work and in the early part of the day passed by a camel tied at the door of the mosque. When he passed by there in the latter part of the day, the camel was still tied in the same way. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "Where is the owner of this camel?" Despite searching, its owner was not found. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Fear Allah regarding these animals. Ride them when they are healthy and strong." Then he said, "Whoever asks while he has enough to fulfill his need, as just now someone who showed displeasure did, then he is adding to the coals of Hell." The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), what is meant by need?" He replied, "Food."
