حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُوحٍ أَخْبَرَنَا لَيْثٌ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ الْهَادِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ وَهُمْ فِي طَرِيقِ الْحَجِّ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ أَلَسْتَ فُلَانَ بْنَ فُلَانٍ قَالَ بَلَى قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى حِمَارٍ كَانَ يَسْتَرِيحُ عَلَيْهِ إِذَا مَلَّ رَاحِلَتَهُ وَعِمَامَةٍ كَانَ يَشُدُّ بِهَا رَأْسَهُ فَدَفَعَهَا إِلَى الْأَعْرَابِيِّ فَلَمَّا انْطَلَقَ قَالَ لَهُ بَعْضُنَا انْطَلَقْتَ إِلَى حِمَارِكَ الَّذِي كُنْتَ تَسْتَرِيحُ عَلَيْهِ وَعِمَامَتِكَ الَّتِي كُنْتَ تَشُدُّ بِهَا رَأْسَكَ فَأَعْطَيْتَهُمَا هَذَا الْأَعْرَابِيَّ وَإِنَّمَا كَانَ هَذَا يَرْضَى بِدِرْهَمٍ قَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ أَبَرَّ الْبِرِّ صِلَةُ الْمَرْءِ أَهْلَ وُدِّ أَبِيهِ بَعْدَ أَنْ يُوَلِّيَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 5653
It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn Dinar that a Bedouin passed by Ibn 'Umar when they were on the way to Hajj. Ibn 'Umar said to him: Aren't you So and so, the son of So and so? He said: Yes. He took a donkey that he would ride for a change when he got bored of riding his camel, and a piece of cloth that he used to wrap around his head, and gave them to the Bedouin. When he left, some of us said: You took your donkey that you would ride for a change and your cloth that you used to wrap around your head, and gave them to this Bedouin! Rather he would have been content with a dirham. He said: I fieard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) say: "The best act of righteousness is for a man o uphold ties with his fathers friends after (his father) dies.
