حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مِسْكِينٌ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُهَاجِرِ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِي كَبْشَةَ السَّلُولِيِّ حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ ابْنُ الْحَنْظَلِيَّةِ قَالَ
قَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ حِصْنٍ وَالأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ فَسَأَلاَهُ فَأَمَرَ لَهُمَا بِمَا سَأَلاَ وَأَمَرَ مُعَاوِيَةَ فَكَتَبَ لَهُمَا بِمَا سَأَلاَ فَأَمَّا الأَقْرَعُ فَأَخَذَ كِتَابَهُ فَلَفَّهُ فِي عِمَامَتِهِ وَانْطَلَقَ وَأَمَّا عُيَيْنَةُ فَأَخَذَ كِتَابَهُ وَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَكَانَهُ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَتَرَانِي حَامِلاً إِلَى قَوْمِي كِتَابًا لاَ أَدْرِي مَا فِيهِ كَصَحِيفَةِ الْمُتَلَمِّسِ فَأَخْبَرَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بِقَوْلِهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ سَأَلَ وَعِنْدَهُ مَا يُغْنِيهِ فَإِنَّمَا يَسْتَكْثِرُ مِنَ النَّارِ

Uyaynah ibn Hisn and Aqra' ibn Habis came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. They begged from him. He commanded to give them what they begged. He ordered Mu'awiyah to write a document to give what they begged. Aqra' took his document, wrapped it in his turban, and went away. As for Uyaynah, he took his document and came to the Prophet ﷺ at his home, and said to him: Muhammad, do you see me? I am taking a document to my people, but I do not know what it contains, just like the document of al-Mutalammis. Mu'awiyah informed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ of his statement. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He who begs (from people) when he has sufficient is simply asking for a large amount of Hell-fire. (An-Nufayl (a transmitter) said elsewhere: "embers of Hell".) They asked: Messenger of Allah, what is a sufficiency? (Elsewhere an-Nufayl said: What is a sufficiency which makes begging unfitting?) He replied: It is that which would provide a morning and an evening meal. (Elsewhere an-Nufayl said: It is when one has enough for a day and night, or for a night and a day.) He (an-Nufayl) narrated to us this tradition briefly in the words that I have mentioned.
Notes
وَقَالَ النُّفَيْلِيُّ فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ مِنْ جَمْرِ جَهَنَّمَ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا يُغْنِيهِ وَقَالَ النُّفَيْلِيُّ فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ وَمَا الْغِنَى الَّذِي لاَ تَنْبَغِي مَعَهُ الْمَسْأَلَةُ قَالَ قَدْرُ مَا يُغَدِّيهِ وَيُعَشِّيهِ وَقَالَ النُّفَيْلِيُّ فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ شِبَعُ يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ أَوْ لَيْلَةٍ وَيَوْمٍ وَكَانَ حَدَّثَنَا بِهِ مُخْتَصِرًا عَلَى هَذِهِ الأَلْفَاظِ الَّتِي ذُكِرَتْ
machine translationAl-Nufaylī said in another place: "from the embers of Hell." They said: "O Messenger of Allah, and what is sufficiency for him?" Al-Nufaylī said in another place: "And what is the sufficiency after which asking is not appropriate?" He said: "The amount that provides him with his lunch and his dinner." Al-Nufaylī said in another place: "That he has enough to fill him for a day and a night, or a night and a day." And he had narrated it to us in abbreviated form, with these wordings that have been mentioned.
