أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنِ الْكَوْثَرِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ، قَالَ: بَلَغَنِي، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ -:
أَلَا إِنَّهُ سَيَأْتِي عَلَيْكُمْ زَمَانٌ عَضُوضٌ، يَعَضُّ الْمُؤْمِنُ عَلَى مَا فِي يَدِهِ حَذَارَ الْإِنْفَاقِ، وَاللهُ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ: وَمَا أَنْفَقْتُمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَهُوَ يُخْلِفُهُ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَ
