قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ بَعْضِ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ:
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ لِفُلَانٍ نَخْلَةً فِي حَائِطِي، فَمُرْهُ فَلْيَبِعْهَا، أَوْ لِيَهَبْهَا لِي. قَالَ: فَأَتَى الرَّجُلُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: افْعَلْ، لَكَ بِهَا نَخْلَةٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، فَأَبَى، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: هَذَا أَبْخَلُ النَّاسِ

✧ A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, so-and-so has a palm tree in my garden. Order him to sell it to me or give it to me.' He said: The man came to the Prophet ﷺ and he said: 'Do so, and you will have a palm tree in Paradise for it.' But he refused. Then the Prophet ﷺ said: 'This is the most miserly of people.'
