وَقَالَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُتْبَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ؓ قَالَ:
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ - لِأَصْحَابِهِ: أَيُّ النَّاسِ خَيْرٌ ؟ قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، رَجُلٌ يُعْطِي مَالَهُ وَنَفْسَهُ، قَالَ ﷺ: نِعْمَ الرَّجُلُ هَذَا، وَلَيْسَ بِهِ، وَلَكِنَّ أَفْضَلَ النَّاسِ رَجُلٌ يُعْطِي جُهْدَهُ
