حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ وَحَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ حَمْدَانَ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ ثنا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سَرِيعٍ الْكُوفِيُّ قَالَا ثنا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ مُوسَى الصَّغِيرِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَابِطٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَامِرِ بْنِ حِذْيَمٍ قَالَ بَلَغَ عُمَرَ
أَنَّهُ لَا يَدَّخِرُ فِي بَيْتِهِ مِنَ الْحَاجَةِ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ بِعَشْرَةِ آلَافٍ فَأَخَذَهَا فَجَعَلَ يُفَرِّقُهَا صُرَرًا فَقَالَتْ لَهُ امْرَأَتُهُ أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُ بِهَذِهِ قَالَ أَذْهَبُ بِهَا إِلَى مَنْ يُرَجِّحُ لَنَا فِيهَا فَمَا أَبْقَى مِنْهَا إِلَّا شَيْئًا يَسِيرًا فَلَمَّا نَفَذَ الَّذِي كَانَ عِنْدَهُمْ قَالَتْ لَهُ امْرَأَتُهُ اذْهَبْ إِلَى بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِكَ الَّذِينَ أَعْطَيْتَهُمْ يُرَجِّحُونَ لَكَ فَخُذْ مِنْ أرْبَاحِهِمْ وَجَعَلَ يُدَافِعُهَا ويُمَاطِلُهَا حَتَّى طَالَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَوْ أَنَّ حُورًا أَطْلَعَتْ أُصْبُعًا مِنْ أَصَابِعِهَا لَوَجَدَ رِيحَهَا كُلُّ ذِي رُوحٍ» فَأَنَا أَدَعُهُنَّ لَكِنْ وَاللهِ لَأَنْتُنَّ أَحَقُّ أَنْ أَدَعَكُنَّ لَهُنَّ مِنْهُنَّ لَكُنَّ

✧ He (Sa'd) did not store up in his house anything of need. So [the Prophet] sent him ten thousand [dirhams], and he took it and began dividing it into portions. His wife said to him, 'Where are you going with this?' He said, 'I am taking it to one who will trade for us with it.' He left nothing of it except a little. When what they had was gone, his wife said to him, 'Go to some of your companions whom you gave it to so they may trade for you, and take from their profits.' He kept putting her off and delaying her until that went on for a long time. Then he said, 'I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: "If a houri were to look out with one of her fingers, every living being would find its scent." So I am leaving them for her. By God, you women are more deserving that I leave you for them than they are for you.'
