أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُكْرَمٍ الْبِرْتِيُّ بِبَغْدَادَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنَ جَابِرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو كَبْشَةَ السَّلُولِيُّ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ سَهْلَ بْنَ الْحَنْظَلِيَّةِ صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
أَنَّ الْأَقْرَعَ وَعُيَيْنَةَ سَأَلَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ شَيْئًا فَأَمَرَ مُعَاوِيَةَ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ بِهِ لَهُمَا وَخَتَمَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَمَرَ بِدَفْعِهِ إِلَيْهِمَا فَأَمَّا عُيَيْنَةَ فَقَالَ مَا فِيهِ؟ فَقَالَ فِيهِ الَّذِي أَمَرْتَ بِهِ فَقَبَّلَهُ وَعَقْدَهُ فِي عِمَامَتِهِ وَكَانَ أَحْلَمَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ وَأَمَّا الْأَقْرَعُ فَقَالَ أَحْمِلُ صَحِيفَةً لَا أَدْرِي مَا فِيهَا كَصَحِيفَةِ الْمُتَلَمِّسِ فَأَخْبَرَ مُعَاوِيَةُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِقَوْلِهِمَا وَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي حَاجَتِهِ فَمَرَّ بِبَعِيرٍ مُنَاخٍ عَلَى بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ فِي أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ ثُمَّ مَرَّ بِهِ فِي آخِرِ النَّهَارِ وَهُوَ فِي مَكَانِهِ فَقَالَ «أَيْنَ صَاحِبُ هَذَا الْبَعِيرِ» فَابْتُغِيَ فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ فَقَالَ «اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ فِي هَذِهِ الْبَهَائِمِ ارْكَبُوهَا صِحَاحًا وَكُلُوهَا سِمَانًا كَالْمُتَسَخِّطِ آنِفًا إِنَّهُ مَنْ سَأَلَ شَيْئًا وَعِنْدَهُ مَا يُغْنِيهِ فَإِنَّمَا يَسْتَكْثِرُ مِنْ جَمْرِ جَهَنَّمَ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا يُغْنِيهِ؟ قَالَ «مَا يُغَدِّيهِ أَوْ يُعَشِّيهِ»

✧ Al-Aqra' and 'Uyaynah asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for something, so he ordered Mu'awiyah to write it for them, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sealed it and ordered it to be given to them. As for 'Uyaynah, he said: 'What is in it?' He replied: 'In it is what you requested.' So he kissed it and tied it to his turban, and he was the more forbearing of the two men. As for al-Aqra', he said: 'I carry a document I do not know what is in it, like the document of al-Mutalammis.' So Mu'awiyah informed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ of their words. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out for his need and passed by a camel kneeling at the door of the mosque at the beginning of the day, then he passed by it at the end of the day while it was still in its place. He said: 'Where is the owner of this camel?' It was searched for but he was not found. Then he said: 'Fear Allah concerning these animals. Ride them while they are healthy, and eat them while they are fat,' as if he was annoyed a short while before. 'Indeed, whoever asks for something while he has what suffices him, then he is only increasing in coals of Hell.' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what suffices him?' He said: 'What feeds him in the morning or in the evening.'
