وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، ثَنَا زَائِدَةُ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:

« إِنَّ مِنْ أُمَّتِي مَنْ لَوْ قَامَ عَلَى بَابِ أَحَدِكُمْ فَسَأَلَهُ دِينَارًا مَا أَعْطَاهُ، أَوْ دِرْهَمًا مَا أَعْطَاهُ، أَوْ فِلْسًا مَا أَعْطَاهُ، وَلَوْ سَأَلَ اللهَ تَعَالَى الدُّنْيَا مَا أَعْطَاهُ، وَمَا يَمْنَعُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ كَرَامَتِهِ عَلَيْهِ، وَلَوْ سَأَلَ اللهَ تَعَالَى الْجَنَّةَ لَأَعْطَاهُ، وَلَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَى اللهِ لَأَبَرَّهُ

✧ “Among my ummah are some who, if one of them were to stand at the door of any of you and ask him for a dinar, he would not give it to him; or for a dirham, he would not give it to him; or for a fils, he would not give it to him. Yet if he were to ask Allah, the Exalted, for the whole world, He would not give it to him. And He only withholds it from him because of His honoring him. But if he were to ask Allah, the Exalted, for Paradise, He would give it to him. And if he were to swear by Allah, He would fulfill his oath.”
