حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ قَالَ أَصَابَتْنِي سَنَةٌ فَدَخَلْتُ حَائِطًا مِنْ حِيطَانِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَفَرَکْتُ سُنْبُلًا فَأَکَلْتُ وَحَمَلْتُ فِي ثَوْبِي فَجَائَ صَاحِبُهُ فَضَرَبَنِي وَأَخَذَ ثَوْبِي فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَا عَلَّمْتَ إِذْ کَانَ جَاهِلًا وَلَا أَطْعَمْتَ إِذْ کَانَ جَائِعًا أَوْ قَالَ سَاغِبًا وَأَمَرَهُ فَرَدَّ عَلَيَّ ثَوْبِي وَأَعْطَانِي وَسْقًا أَوْ نِصْفَ وَسْقٍ مِنْ طَعَامٍ ِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2620
Narrated Abbad ibn Shurahbil: I suffered from drought; so I entered a garden of Madina, and rubbed an ear-corn. I ate and carried in my garment. Then its master came, he beat me and took my garment. He came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who said to him: You did not teach him if he was ignorant; and you did not feed him if he was hungry. He ordered him, so he returned my garment to me, and gave me one or half a wasq (sixty or thirty sa's) of corn.
