قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ سَالِمٍ، ثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْقُرَشِيُّ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ؓ

أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ الْمُتَوَضَّأَ فَأَصَابَ لُقْمَةً أَوْ كِسْرَةً فِي مَجْرَى الْغَائِطِ وَالْبَوْلِ، فَأَخَذَهَا، فَأَمَاطَ عَنْهَا الْأَذَى، وَغَسَلَهَا غَسْلًا نِعِمَّا، ثُمَّ دَفَعَهَا إِلَى غُلَامِهِ، فَقَالَ: يَا غُلَامُ ذَكِّرْنِي بِهَا إِذَا تَوَضَّأْتُ، فَلَمَّا تَوَضَّأَ قَالَ: نَاوِلْنِي اللُّقْمَةَ - أَوْ قَالَ: الْكِسْرَةَ - فَقَالَ: يَا مَوْلَايَ أَكَلْتُهَا، قَالَ: اذْهَبْ فَأَنْتَ حُرٌّ لِوَجْهِ اللهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ الْغُلَامُ: يَا مَوْلَايَ لِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ أَعْتَقْتَنِي ؟ قَالَ: لِأَنِّي سَمِعْتُ أُمِّي فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ تَذْكُرُ عَنْ أَبِيهَا رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، قَالَ: مَنْ وَجَدَ لُقْمَةً أَوْ كِسْرَةً فِي مَجْرَى الْغَائِطِ أَوِ الْبَوْلِ، فَأَخَذَهَا أَمَاطَ عَنْهَا الْأَذَى وَغَسَلَهَا غَسْلًا نِعِمَّا ثُمَّ أَكَلَهَا لَمْ تَسْتَقِرَّ فِي بَطْنِهِ حَتَّى يُغْفَرَ لَهُ، فَمَا كُنْتُ لِأَسْتَخْدِمَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ

✧ He entered the lavatory and found a morsel or a piece of bread in the channel for feces and urine. He took it, removed the filth from it, washed it thoroughly, and then handed it to his servant, saying: 'O boy, remind me of it when I perform ablution.' When he performed ablution, he said: 'Hand me the morsel'—or he said: 'the piece of bread.' The boy said: 'O my master, I ate it.' He said: 'Go, for you are free for the sake of Allah.' The boy said to him: 'O my master, why did you set me free?' He said: 'Because I heard my mother Fatimah, daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, mention from her father, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, that he said: "Whoever finds a morsel or a piece of bread in the channel for feces or urine, takes it, removes the filth from it, washes it thoroughly, then eats it—it will not settle in his stomach until he is forgiven." So I would not employ a man from the people of Paradise.'
