أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ وَمَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ الثَّقَفِيِّ قَالَ جَائَ رَجُلٌ إِلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ کِدْتُ أُقْتَلُ بَعْدَکَ فِي عَنَاقٍ أَوْ شَاةٍ مِنْ الصَّدَقَةِ فَقَالَ لَوْلَا أَنَّهَا تُعْطَی فُقَرَائَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ مَا أَخَذْتُهَا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 2472
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah bin Hilal Ath-Thaqafi said: “A man came to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and said: ‘I feared that I might be killed after you are gone for the sake of a goat or sheep of the Sadaqah.’ He said: ‘Were it not that it will be given to the poor Muhajirin I would not have taken it.” (Da’if)
