أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، ثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنِ الْكَوْثَرِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ، قَالَ: بَلَغَنِي عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ -:
أَلَا إِنَّ زَمَانَكُمْ هَذَا زَمَانٌ عَضُوضٌ، يَعَضُّ الْمُؤْمِنُ عَلَى مَا فِي يَدِهِ حَذَارَ الْإِنْفَاقِ. قَالَ اللهُ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ -: وَمَا أَنْفَقْتُمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَهُوَ يُخْلِفُهُ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَ. قَالَ - وَشَهِدَ شِرَارَ النَّاسِ يُبَايِعُونَ كُلَّ مُضْطَرٍّ: أَلَا إِنَّ بَيْعَ الْمُضْطَرِّينَ حَرَامٌ، إِنَّ بَيْعَ الْمُضْطَرِّينَ حَرَامٌ، الْمُسْلِمُ أَخُو الْمُسْلِمِ، لَا يَظْلِمُهُ، وَلَا يَخْذُلُهُ، إِنْ كَانَ عِنْدَكَ مَعْرُوفٌ فَعُدْ بِهِ عَلَى أَخِيكَ، وَإِلَّا فَلَا تَزِدْهُ هَلَاكًا عَلَى هَلَاكِهِ

✧ Indeed, this time of yours is a time of hardship, in which the believer clings to what is in his hand out of fear of spending. Allah - Mighty and Majestic - said: 'And whatever you spend of anything, He will replace it; and He is the best of providers.' He said: 'And the worst of people will be witnessed selling to every distressed person. Indeed, selling to the distressed is unlawful; indeed, selling to the distressed is unlawful. The Muslim is the brother of the Muslim; he does not wrong him nor forsake him. If you have any kindness, then bestow it upon your brother; otherwise, do not add destruction to his destruction.'
