حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَی بْنُ يُونُسَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَخْضَرُ بْنُ عَجْلَانَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ جَائَ إِلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْأَلُهُ فَقَالَ لَکَ فِي بَيْتِکَ شَيْئٌ قَالَ بَلَی حِلْسٌ نَلْبَسُ بَعْضَهُ وَنَبْسُطُ بَعْضَهُ وَقَدَحٌ نَشْرَبُ فِيهِ الْمَائَ قَالَ ائْتِنِي بِهِمَا قَالَ فَأَتَاهُ بِهِمَا فَأَخَذَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ يَشْتَرِي هَذَيْنِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَنَا آخُذُهُمَا بِدِرْهَمٍ قَالَ مَنْ يَزِيدُ عَلَی دِرْهَمٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا قَالَ رَجُلٌ أَنَا آخُذُهُمَا بِدِرْهَمَيْنِ فَأَعْطَاهُمَا إِيَّاهُ وَأَخَذَ الدِّرْهَمَيْنِ فَأَعْطَاهُمَا الْأَنْصَارِيَّ وَقَالَ اشْتَرِ بِأَحَدِهِمَا طَعَامًا فَانْبِذْهُ إِلَی أَهْلِکَ وَاشْتَرِ بِالْآخَرِ قَدُومًا فَأْتِنِي بِهِ فَفَعَلَ فَأَخَذَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَشَدَّ فِيهِ عُودًا بِيَدِهِ وَقَالَ اذْهَبْ فَاحْتَطِبْ وَلَا أَرَاکَ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْمًا فَجَعَلَ يَحْتَطِبُ وَيَبِيعُ فَجَائَ وَقَدْ أَصَابَ عَشْرَةَ دَرَاهِمَ فَقَالَ اشْتَرِ بِبَعْضِهَا طَعَامًا وَبِبَعْضِهَا ثَوْبًا ثُمَّ قَالَ هَذَا خَيْرٌ لَکَ مِنْ أَنْ تَجِيئَ وَالْمَسْأَلَةُ نُکْتَةٌ فِي وَجْهِکَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّ الْمَسْأَلَةَ لَا تَصْلُحُ إِلَّا لِذِي فَقْرٍ مُدْقِعٍ أَوْ لِذِي غُرْمٍ مُفْظِعٍ أَوْ دَمٍ مُوجِعٍ

It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that a man from among the Ansar came to the Prophet P.B.U.H and begged from him. He said, "Do you have anything in your house?" He said: "Yes, a blanket, part of which we cover ourselves with and part we spread beneath us, and a bowl from which we drink water." He said: "Give them to me." So he brought them to him, and the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H took them in his hand and said, "Who will buy these two things?" A man said: "I will buy them for one Dirham." He said: "Who will offer more than a Dirham?" two or three times. A man said: "I will buy them for two Dirham." So he gave them to him and took the two Dirham, which he gave to the Ansari and said: "Buy food with one of them and give it to your family, and buy an axe with the other and bring it to me." So he did that, and the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H took it and fixed a handle to it, and said: "Go and gather firewood, and I do not want to see you for fifteen days." So he went and gathered firewood and sold it, then he came back, and he had earned ten Dirham. (The Prophet P.B.U.H) said: "Buy food with some of it and clothes with some." Then he said: "This is better for you than coming with begging (appearing) as a spot on your face on the Day of Resurrection. Begging is only appropriate for one who is extremely poor or who is in severe debt, or one who must pay painful blood money." (Hasan)
