أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ الْفَقِيهُ، أَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْقَطَّانُ، نَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ،
قَالَ: ذَكَرَ سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ بْنِ فُرَافِصَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ، عَنْ بُدَيْلٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " لَأَنْ أُطْعِمَ أَخًا فِي اللهِ لُقْمَةً أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَتَصَدَّقَ بِدِرْهَمٍ، وَلَأَنْ أُعْطِيَ أَخًا فِي اللهِ دِرْهَمًا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَتَصَدَّقَ بِعَشَرَةِ دَرَاهِمَ، وَلَأَنْ أُعْطِيَ أَخًا فِي اللهِ عَشْرَةَ دَرَاهِمَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَعْتِقَ رَقَبَةً "، وَفِي مَعْنَاهُ رُوِيَ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ

He said: Sufyān mentioned, from al-Ḥajjāj b. Furāfiṣah, from Abū al-ʿAlāʾ, from Budayl, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "For me to feed a brother in Allah a morsel is dearer to me than to give a dirham in charity; and for me to give a brother in Allah a dirham is dearer to me than to give ten dirhams in charity; and for me to give a brother in Allah ten dirhams is dearer to me than to free a slave." And in the same sense it has been narrated from al-Shaʿbī as his own saying.
