حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ حَدَّثَنِي عُمَارَةُ بْنُ غَزِيَّةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ قَوْمِي عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ أُعْطِيَ عَطَائً فَوَجَدَ فَلْيَجْزِ بِهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَلْيُثْنِ بِهِ فَمَنْ أَثْنَی بِهِ فَقَدْ شَکَرَهُ وَمَنْ کَتَمَهُ فَقَدْ کَفَرَهُ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد رَوَاهُ يَحْيَی بْنُ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ غَزِيَّةَ عَنْ شُرَحْبِيلَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد وَهُوَ شُرَحْبِيلُ يَعْنِي رَجُلًا مِنْ قَوْمِي کَأَنَّهُمْ کَرِهُوهُ فَلَمْ يُسَمُّوهُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4813
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: The Prophet ﷺ said: If someone is given something, he should give a return for it provided he can afford; if he cannot afford, he should praise him. He who praises him for it, thanks him, and he who conceals it is ungrateful to him. Abu Dawud said: It has been transmitted by Yahya bin Ayyub, from Umarah bin Ghaziyyah, from Sharahbil on the authority of Jabir Abu Dawud said: In the chain of this tradition Umarah bin Ghaziyyah said: A man from my tribe said. The man referred by him is in Sharahbil. It is likely that they disliked him and, therefore, they did not blame him.
