أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَی عَنْ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ شَقِيقٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْمُرُنَا بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَمَا يَجِدُ أَحَدُنَا شَيْئًا يَتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ حَتَّی يَنْطَلِقَ إِلَی السُّوقِ فَيَحْمِلَ عَلَی ظَهْرِهِ فَيَجِيئَ بِالْمُدِّ فَيُعْطِيَهُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُ الْيَوْمَ رَجُلًا لَهُ مِائَةُ أَلْفٍ مَا کَانَ لَهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ دِرْهَمٌ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 2535
It was narrated that Abu Mas’ôd said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم used to tell us to give in charity, and one of us could not find anything to give until he went to the marketplace and hired himself out to carry loads for people. Then he would bring a Mudd and give it to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلمI know a man who has a hundred thousand now, but on that day he had (only) one Dirham.” (Sahih)
