أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الضَّبِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ رَجَاءٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ كُدَيْرٍ الضَّبِّيِّ،
قَالَ: أَتَى أَعْرَابِيٌّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: نَبِّئْنِي بِعَمَلٍ يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ وَيُبَاعِدُنِي مِنَ النَّارِ؟ قَالَ: " تَقُولُ الْعَدْلَ وَتُعْطِي الْفَضْلَ " قَالَ: هَذَا شَدِيدٌ لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَقُولَ الْعَدْلَ كُلَّ سَاعَةٍ، وَلَا أَنْ أُعْطِي فَضْلَ مَالِي، قَالَ: " فَأَطْعِمِ الطَّعَامَ وَأَفْشِ السَّلَامَ "، قَالَ: وَهَذَا شَدِيدٌ وَاللهِ، قَالَ: " هَلْ لَكَ إِبِلٌ؟ " قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: " انْظُرْ بَعِيرًا مِنْ إِبِلِكَ، وَسِقَاءً فَاسِقِ أَهْلَ بَيْتٍ لَا يَشْرَبُونَ الْمَاءَ إِلَّا غِبًّا فَلَعَلَّكَ أَنْ لَا يَهْلِكَ بَعِيرُكَ، وَلَا أَنْ يَنْخَرِقَ سِقَاؤُكَ حَتَّى تَجِبَ لَكَ الْجَنَّةُ "، قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقَ يُكَبِّرُ ثُمَّ أَنَّهُ بَعْدُ اسْتُشْهِدَ

He said: A Bedouin came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "Inform me of a deed that will admit me to Paradise and keep me far from the Fire." He said: "You speak justice and you give of your surplus." He said: "This is hard; I cannot speak justice at every moment, nor give away the surplus of my wealth." He said: "Then feed food and spread the greeting of peace." He said: "This too is hard, by God." He said: "Do you have camels?" He said: "Yes." He said: "Look to a camel from your camels, and a waterskin, and give drink to a household who drink water only every other day. Perhaps your camel will not perish, and your waterskin will not tear, until Paradise becomes due for you." He said: So he went off saying "Allāhu akbar"; then afterwards he was martyred.
