أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْعَقَدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا قُرَّةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي صَعْصَعَةُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ
لَقِيتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ بِالرَّبَذَةِ وَقَدْ أَوْرَدَ رَوَاحِلَ لَهُ فَسَقَاهَا ثُمَّ أَصْدَرَهَا وَقَدْ عَلَّقَ قِرْبَةً فِي عُنُقِ رَاحِلَةٍ لَهُ مِنْهَا لِيَشْرَبَ مِنْهَا وَيَسْقِي أَصْحَابَهُ وَذَلِكَ خُلُقٌ مِنْ أَخْلَاقِ الْعَرَبِ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَا مَالُكَ؟ قَالَ مَالِي عَمَلِي قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَا سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ؟ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ أَنْفَقَ زَوْجَيْنِ مِنْ مَالِهِ ابْتَدَرَتْهُ حَجَبَةُ الْجَنَّةِ» قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَا هَذَانِ الزَّوْجَانِ؟ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ رِجَالًا فَرَجُلَانِ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ خَيْلًا فَفَرَسَانِ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ إِبِلًا فَبَعِيرَانِ حَتَّى عَدَّ أَصْنَافَ الْمَالِ كُلَّهُ قُلْتُ إِيهٍ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمَيْنِ يَمُوتُ لَهُمَا ثَلَاثَةُ أَوْلَادٍ إِلَّا أَدْخَلَهُمَا اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ بِفَضْلِ رَحْمَتِهِ»

✧ I met Abu Dharr at al-Rabadhah while he had brought his riding camels to water, so he gave them to drink, then he brought them back. He had hung a water skin on the neck of one of his riding camels to drink from it and to give his companions drink. That is a trait from the traits of the Arabs. I said: O Abu Dharr, what is your wealth? He said: My wealth is my deeds. I said: O Abu Dharr, what did you hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say? He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "Whoever spends a pair from his wealth, the gatekeepers of Paradise hasten to him." I said: O Abu Dharr, what are these two pairs? He said: If they are men, then two men; if they are horses, then two horses; if they are camels, then two camels, until he enumerated all types of wealth. I said: Tell me more, O Abu Dharr. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "There are no two Muslims for whom three children die but that Allah admits them into Paradise by His abundant mercy."
