أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ وَاقِدٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ شَقِيقٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَأْمُرُنَا بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَمَا يَجِدُ أَحَدُنَا شَيْئًا يَتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ حَتَّى يَنْطَلِقَ إِلَى السُّوقِ فَيَحْمِلَ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ فَيَجِيءَ بِالْمُدِّ فَيُعْطِيَهُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُ الْيَوْمَ رَجُلًا لَهُ مِائَةُ أَلْفٍ مَا كَانَ لَهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ دِرْهَمٌ»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to command us to give charity, and none of us would find anything to give until he went to the market and carried a load on his back, then came with a mudd and gave it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I know today a man who has one hundred thousand, but on that day he did not have a dirham.
