حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا حَنْظَلَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الزُّرَقِيُّ الْمَدَنِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو حَزْرَةَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَادَةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ قَالَ
خَرَجْتُ مَعَ أَبِي وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ شَابٌّ، فَنَلْقَى شَيْخًا، قُلْتُ: أَيْ عَمِّ، مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تُعْطِيَ غُلَامَكَ هَذِهِ النَّمِرَةَ، وَتَأْخُذَ الْبُرْدَةَ، فَتَكُونُ عَلَيْكَ بُرْدَتَانِ، وَعَلَيْهِ نَمِرَةٌ؟ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَى أَبِي، فَقَالَ: ابْنُكَ هَذَا؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: فَمَسَحَ عَلَى رَأْسِي، وَقَالَ: بَارَكَ اللَّهُ فِيكَ، أَشْهَدُ لَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «أَطْعِمُوهُمْ مِمَّا تَأْكُلُونَ، وَاكْسُوهُمْ مِمَّا تَكْتَسُونَ». يَا ابْنَ أَخِي، ذَهَابُ مَتَاعِ الدُّنْيَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مِنْ مَتَاعِ الْآخِرَةِ. قُلْتُ: أَيْ أَبَتَاهُ، مَنْ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ؟ قَالَ: أَبُو الْيَسَرِ كَعْبِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو.

I went out with my father (Ubadah b. Samit) when I was a young boy, and we met an old man. I said, “Uncle, what kept you from giving your servant this long striped cloak and taking the mantle, so that you would have two mantles and he would have a striped cloak ˹so that he will be fully covered˺?” He turned to my father and said, “Is this your son?” He said, “Yes.” So he stroked my head and said, “May Allah bless you. I bear witness that I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ‘Feed them from what you eat, and clothe them from what you wear.’ O son of my brother, losing the goods of this world is dearer to me than that he should take from the goods of the Hereafter.” I said, “Father, who is this man?” He said, “Abu al-Yusr Ka‘b b. Amr.”
