حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَارَةُ، حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ قَوْمِي، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ؓ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
« مَنْ أُعْطِيَ عَطَاءً فَوَجَدَ فَلْيَجْزِ بِهِ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ، فَلْيُثْنِ بِهِ، فَمَنْ أَثْنَى بِهِ فَقَدْ شَكَرَهُ، وَمَنْ كَتَمَهُ فَقَدْ كَفَرَهُ، وَمَنْ تَحَلَّ بِمَا لَمْ يُعْطَ كَانَ كَلَابِسِ ثَوْبَيْ زُورٍ

✧ “Whoever is given a gift and finds the means, let him repay it. If he does not find the means, let him praise the giver for it. Whoever praises it has thanked him, and whoever conceals it has been ungrateful. Whoever pretends to have been given what he was not given is like one who wears two garments of falsehood.”
