حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ ثنا دُحَيْمٌ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَسَّانَ ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ ثنا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ثنا خُبَيْبُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ
أَتَاهُ يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ يَسْتَفْتِيهِ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ مَا الَّذِي يَحِلُّ لَهُ؟ وَالَّذِي يَحْرُمُ عَلَيْهِ فِي مَالِهِ وَنُسُكِهِ وَمَاشِيَتِهِ وَعِتْرِهِ وَفَرْعِهِ مِنْ نِتَاجِ إِبِلِهِ وَعُقْمِهِ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أُحِلُّ لَكَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَأُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْكَ الْخَبَائِثَ إِلَّا أَنْ تَفْتَقِرَ إِلَى طَعَامٍ فَتَأْكُلَ مِنْهُ حَتَّى تَسْتَغْنِيَ عَنْهُ» وَأَنَّهُ سَأَلَهُ الرَّجُلُ حِينَئِذٍ فَقَالَ مَا فَقْرِيَ الَّذِي آكُلُ ذَلِكَ إِذَا بَلَغْتُهُ أَمْ غِنَايَ الَّذِي يُغْنِينِي عَنْهُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِذَا كُنْتَ تَرْجُو نِتَاجًا فَتَبْلُغُ بِلُحُومِ مَاشِيَتِكَ إِلَى نِتَاجِكَ أَوْ كُنْتَ تَرْجُو غَيْثًا فَتُصِيبُهُ مُدْرِكًا فَتَبْلُغُ إِلَيْهِ بِلُحُومِ مَاشِيَتِكَ إِلَى نِتَاجِكَ أَوْ كُنْتَ تَرْجُو فَائِدَةَ مَالِهَا فَتَبْلُغُهَا بِلُحُومِ مَاشِيَتِكَ وَإِذَا كُنْتَ لَا تَرْجُو مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا فَأَطْعِمْ أَهْلَكَ مَا بَدَا لَكَ حَتَّى تَسْتَغْنِيَ عَنْهُ» قَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ وَمَا غِنَايَ الَّذِي أَدَعُهُ إِذَا وَجَدْتُهُ؟ قَالَ «إِذَا رَوَيْتَ أَهْلَكَ غَبُوقًا مِنِ اللَّبَنِ فَاجْتَنِبْ مَا حُرِّمَ عَلَيْكَ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ وَأَمَّا مَالُكَ فَإِنَّهُ مَيْسُورٌ كُلُّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْهُ حَرَامٌ غَيْرَ أَنَّ فِي نِتَاجِكَ مِنْ إِبِلِكَ فَرَعًا وَفِي نِتَاجِكَ مِنْ غَنَمِكَ فَرَعًا تَغْدُوهُ مَاشِيَتُكَ حَتَّى تَسْتَغْنِيَ ثُمَّ إِنْ شِئْتَ فَأَطْعِمْهُ أَهْلَكَ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ تَصَدَّقَ بِلَحْمِهِ» وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَعْتِرَ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ مِنْ كُلِّ مِائَةٍ عَشْرًا

✧ A man from the Bedouins came to him—meaning the Prophet ﷺ—seeking his ruling about a man: what is lawful for him and what is forbidden for him regarding his property, his sacrificial rites, his livestock, his firstborn offerings, and the offspring of his camels and barren ones. The Messenger of God ﷺ said to him: “I make lawful for you the good things and forbid you the foul things, except that if you become poor and in need of food, you may eat of it until you are self-sufficient.” Then the man asked him: “What is my poverty that permits me to eat that when I reach it, or my self-sufficiency that makes me dispense with it?” The Messenger of God ﷺ said: “When you hope for offspring and can reach your offspring with the meat of your livestock, or you hope for rain and it comes in time so that you can reach your offspring with the meat of your livestock, or you hope for profit from its wealth and reach it with the meat of your livestock. But when you hope for none of that, then feed your family what seems good to you until you are self-sufficient from it.” The Bedouin said: “What is my self-sufficiency that I should leave when I find it?” He said: “When you have given your family an evening drink of milk, then avoid what is forbidden to you of food. As for your property, it is all permitted and none of it is forbidden, except that you owe a firstborn from the offspring of your camels and a firstborn from the offspring of your sheep; your livestock may graze until you are self-sufficient, then if you wish feed its meat to your family, or if you wish give its meat in charity.” And he commanded him to offer a tenth from every hundred sheep.
