أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ أَعْتَقَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي عُذْرَةَ عَبْدًا لَهُ
عَنْ دُبُرٍ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَلَكَ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُ؟» قَالَ لَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ يَشْتَرِيهِ مِنِّي؟» فَاشْتَرَاهُ نُعَيْمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْعَدَوِيُّ بِثَمَانِ مِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ فَجَاءَ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَدَفَعَهَا إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ابْدَأْ بِنَفْسِكَ فَتَصَدَّقْ عَلَيْهَا فَإِنْ فَضَلَ شَيْءٌ فَلِأَهْلِكَ فَإِنْ فَضَلَ عَنْ أَهْلِكَ شَيْءٌ فَلِذِي قَرَابَتِكَ فَإِنْ فَضَلَ عَنْ ذِي قَرَابَتِكَ شَيْءٌ فَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا يَقُولُ «بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَعَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَعَنْ شِمَالِكَ»

✧ From behind, and that reached the Prophet ﷺ, so he said: "Do you have any other wealth?" He said: "No." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Who will buy it from me?" Nu'aym b. 'Abd Allah al-'Adawi bought it for eight hundred dirhams. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ brought it and handed it to him, then said: "Begin with yourself and give charity to it. If anything remains, then for your family. If anything remains after your family, then for your relatives. If anything remains after your relatives, then like this and like this," saying: "in front of you, to your right, and to your left."
