قَالَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ كُدَيْرً الضَّبِّيَّ مُنْذُ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً، قَالَ شُعْبَةُ: وَسَمِعْتُ أَنَا مِنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ مُنْذُ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: وَسَمِعْتُهُ [أَنَا] مِنْ شُعْبَةَ مُنْذُ خَمْسٍ أَوْ سِتٍّ وَأَرْبَعِينَ [سَنَةً]، قَالَ:

أَتَى رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَخْبِرْنِي بِعَمَلٍ يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: قُلِ الْعَدْلَ وَأَعْطِ الْفَضْلَ، قَالَ: فَإِنْ لَمْ أُطِقْ [ذَلِكَ] ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: فَأَطْعِمِ الطَّعَامَ [وَ] أَفْشِ السَّلَامَ، قَالَ: فَإِنْ لَمْ أُطِقْ ذَلِكَ أَوْ أَسْتَطِعْ ذَلِكَ ؟، قَالَ ﷺ: [هَلْ [لَكَ] مِنْ إِبِلٍ ؟، قَالَ: نَعَمْ]. قَالَ: فَانْظُرْ بَعِيرًا مِنْ إِبِلِكَ وَسِقَاءً وَانْظُرْ أَهْلَ بَيْتٍ لَا يَشْرَبُونَ الْمَاءَ إِلَّا غِبًّا فَاسْقِهِمْ، فَإِنَّكَ [لَعَلَّكَ] لَا يَهْلِكَ بَعِيرُكَ، وَلَا يَنْخَرِقُ سِقَاؤُكَ حَتَّى تَجِبَ لَكَ الْجَنَّةُ

✧ A man came to the Messenger of Allah and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, tell me of a deed that will admit me into Paradise.' He ﷺ said: 'Speak justice and give surplus.' He said: 'What if I cannot do that?' He ﷺ said: 'Then feed food and spread peace.' He said: 'What if I cannot do that or am unable to do that?' He ﷺ said: 'Do you have any camels?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Then look for a camel from your camels and a waterskin, and look for a household that does not drink water except every other day, and give them water to drink. For perhaps your camel will not perish and your waterskin will not tear until Paradise becomes due for you.'
