حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَبِيبَةَ الطَّائِيِّ، قَالَ: أَوْصَى إِلَيَّ أَخِي بِطَائِفَةٍ مِنْ مَالِهِ، قَالَ: فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ، فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّ أَخِي أَوْصَانِي بِطَائِفَةٍ مِنْ مَالِهِ، فَأَيْنَ أَضَعُهُ، فِي الْفُقَرَاءِ، أَوْ فِي الْمُجَاهِدِينَ، أَوْ فِي الْمَسَاكِينَ؟ قَالَ: أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَوْ كُنْتُ، لَمْ أَعْدِلْ بِالْمُجَاهِدِينَ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَثَلُ الَّذِي يُعْتِقُ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ مَثَلُ الَّذِي يُهْدِي إِذَا شَبِعَ " (١)، ،
Translation
English translation
Abu Habibah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that a man, at the time of his death, made a bequest to spend some dinars from his wealth in the way of Allah. Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about this, so he narrated this hadith from the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ): Whoever, at the time of death, frees a slave or gives charity, his example is like that of a person who gives away what is left over after he has quenched his own thirst.
