وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، ثَنَا الْمِسْوَرُ بْنُ الصَّلْتِ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ؓ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ:
« مَا أَنْفَقَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ، وَوَلَدِهِ، وَمَالِهِ - كُتِبَ لَهُ بِهِ صَدَقَةٌ. وَمَا وَقَى بِهِ الْمَرْءُ عِرْضَهُ كُتِبَ لَهُ صَدَقَةٌ ». قَالَ: « وَكُلُّ نَفَقَةِ مُؤْمِنٍ فِي غَيْرِ مَعْصِيَةٍ فَعَلَى اللهِ تَعَالَى خَلَفُهَا ضَامِنًا إِلَّا نَفَقَةً فِي بُنْيَانٍ ». فَقُلْنَا لِجَابِرٍ ؓ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ، مَا أَرَادَ بِقَوْلِهِ: « مَا وَقَى بِهِ الْمَرْءُ عِرْضَهُ » ؟ قَالَ: يُعْطِي الشَّاعِرَ وَذَا اللِّسَانِ. قَالَ: كَأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ: الَّذِي يُتَّقَى لِسَانُهُ.

✧ "Whatever a man spends on his family, his children, and his wealth, it is recorded for him as charity. And whatever a person uses to protect his honor is recorded for him as charity." He said: "And every expenditure of a believer in other than disobedience is guaranteed by Allah, the Exalted, to be replaced, except an expenditure on building." So we said to Jabir ؓ: O Abu 'Abd Allah, what did he mean by his saying: "whatever a person uses to protect his honor"? He said: He gives to the poet and the one with a tongue. He said: It is as if he is saying: the one whose tongue is feared.
