( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ بِبَغْدَادَ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو عَمْرِو بْنُ السَّمَّاكِ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْمُنَادِي، ثَنَا أَبُو بَدْرٍ: شُجَاعُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، ثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ ؓ قَالَ:
قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ذَهَبَ الْأَغْنِيَاءُ بِالْأَجْرِ، فَقَالَ: أَلَسْتُمْ تُصَلُّونَ وَتَصُومُونَ وَتُجَاهِدُونَ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: بَلَى، وَهُمْ يَفْعَلُونَ كَمَا نَفْعَلُ يُصَلُّونَ وَيَصُومُونَ وَيُجَاهِدُونَ وَيَتَصَدَّقُونَ وَلَا نَتَصَدَّقُ، قَالَ: " إِنَّ فِيكَ صَدَقَةً كَثِيرَةً إِنَّ فِي فَضْلِ بَيَانِكَ عَنِ الْأَرْتَمِ تُعَبِّرُ عَنْهُ حَاجَتَهُ صَدَقَةٌ، وَفِي فَضْلِ سَمْعِكَ عَلَى السَّيِّئِ السَّمْعِ تُعَبِّرُ عَنْهُ حَاجَتَهُ صَدَقَةٌ، وَفِي فَضْلِ بَصَرِكَ عَلَى ضَرِيرِ الْبَصَرِ تَهْدِيهِ الطَّرِيقَ صَدَقَةٌ، وَفِي قُوَّتِكَ عَلَى الضَّعِيفِ تُعِينُهُ صَدَقَةٌ، وَفِي إِمَاطَتِكَ الْأَذَى عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ صَدَقَةٌ، وَفِي مُبَاضَعَتِكَ أَهْلَكَ صَدَقَةٌ "، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيَأْتِي أَحَدُنَا شَهْوَتَهُ وَيُؤْجَرُ ؟ قَالَ: " أَرَأَيْتُمْ لَوْ جَعَلْتَهُ فِي غَيْرِ حِلِّهِ أَكَانَ عَلَيْكَ وِزْرٌ ؟ " قَالَ: قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: " أَفَتَحْتَسِبُونَ بِالشَّرِّ وَلَا تَحْتَسِبُونَ بِالْخَيْرِ

I said: "O Messenger of Allah, the wealthy have gone off with the reward." He said: "Do you not pray, fast and strive?" He said: I said: "Yes, but they do as we do: they pray, fast and strive, and they give charity while we do not give charity." He said: "In you there is much charity. In the surplus of your eloquence for the one who is tongue-tied, expressing his need for him, there is charity; and in the surplus of your hearing for the one who is hard of hearing, expressing his need for him, there is charity; and in the surplus of your sight for the one who is blind, guiding him on the road, there is charity; and in your strength for the weak, helping him, there is charity; and in your removing harm from the road there is charity; and in your intimacy with your wife there is charity." He said: I said: "O Messenger of Allah, does one of us come to his desire and is rewarded?" He said: "Do you see that if you had put it in what is not lawful, would there have been a sin upon you?" He said: I said: "Yes." He said: "So you count the evil, but you do not count the good?"
