حَدِيثُ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ٢٣٤٩٠ - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ قَالَ: كَانَ مَرْثَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ لَا يَجِيءُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ إِلَّا وَمَعَهُ شَيْءٌ يَتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ، قَالَ: فَجَاءَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ وَمَعَهُ بَصَلٌ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: أَبَا الْخَيْرِ، مَا تُرِيدُ إِلَى هَذَا يُنْتِنُ عَلَيْكَ ثَوْبَكَ قَالَ: يَا ابْنَ أَخِي، إِنَّهُ وَاللهِ مَا كَانَ فِي مَنْزِلِي شَيْءٌ أَتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ غَيْرُهُ إِنَّهُ حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " ظِلُّ الْمُؤْمِنِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ صَدَقَتُهُ " (١)، ،

Yazid bin Abi Habib says that whenever Mirthad bin Abdullah would come to the mosque, he would always bring something with him to give in charity. One day he came to the mosque bringing onions with him. I said to him, "O Abu al-Khair! Why have you brought this? It will make your clothes smell bad." He replied, "Nephew! Today there was nothing in my house to give in charity, and a companion (may Allah be pleased with him) told me that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: On the Day of Resurrection, the shade of a Muslim will be his charity."
