حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْأَزْهَرِ حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ الْمُعَلِّمُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ جَائَ رَجُلٌ إِلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَا أَجِدُ شَيْئًا وَلَيْسَ لِي مَالٌ وَلِي يَتِيمٌ لَهُ مَالٌ قَالَ کُلْ مِنْ مَالِ يَتِيمِکَ غَيْرَ مُسْرِفٍ وَلَا مُتَأَثِّلٍ مَالًا قَالَ وَأَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ وَلَا تَقِي مَالَکَ بِمَالِهِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 2718
It was narrated from' Amr bin Shu' aib, from his father, that his grandfather said: "A man came to the Prophet and said: 'I do not have anything and have no wealth, but have an orphan (under my care) who has wealth." He said: "Eat from the wealth of your orphan, without being extravagant or use it for trade." He (the narrator) said: "And think he said: 'Do not preserve your wealth using his instead:’"
