Chapter 9 · Zakat (Kitab Al-Zakat)حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مِسْكِينٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُهَاجِرِ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي كَبْشَةَ السَّلُولِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ ابْنُ الْحَنْظَلِيَّةِ، قَالَ: قَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ حِصْنٍ وَ الْأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ فَسَأَلَاهُ، فَأَمَرَ لَهُمَا بِمَا سَأَلَا، وَأَمَرَ مُعَاوِيَةَ فَكَتَبَ لَهُمَا بِمَا سَأَلَا، فَأَمَّا الْأَقْرَعُ فَأَخَذَ كِتَابَهُ فَلَفَّهُ فِي عِمَامَتِهِ وَانْطَلَقَ، وَأَمَّا عُيَيْنَةُ فَأَخَذَ كِتَابَهُ وَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَكَانَهُ، فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، أَتُرَانِي حَامِلًا إِلَى قَوْمِي كِتَابًا لَا أَدْرِي مَا فِيهِ كَصَحِيفَةِ الْمُتَلَمِّسِ ؟ فَأَخْبَرَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بِقَوْلِهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَنْ سَأَلَ وَعِنْدَهُ مَا يُغْنِيهِ فَإِنَّمَا يَسْتَكْثِرُ مِنَ النَّارِ ، وَقَالَ النُّفَيْلِيُّ فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ: مِنْ جَمْرِ جَهَنَّمَ، فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، وَمَا يُغْنِيهِ ؟ وَقَالَ النُّفَيْلِيُّ فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ: وَمَا الْغِنَى الَّذِي لَا تَنْبَغِي مَعَهُ الْمَسْأَلَةُ، قَالَ: قَدْرُ مَا يُغَدِّيهِ وَيُعَشِّيهِ ، وَقَالَ النُّفَيْلِيُّ فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ: أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ شِبْعُ يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ أَوْ لَيْلَةٍ وَيَوْمٍ ، وَكَانَ حَدَّثَنَا بِهِ مُخْتَصَرًا عَلَى هَذِهِ الْأَلْفَاظِ الَّتِي ذَكَرْتُ.

The Arabic text and the translations come from our previous collection: English from hadithapi.com, German and Turkish machine-translated (Gemini) and unreviewed. A new translation from the Arabic with the chain of narration will follow.
Uyaynah Ibn Hisn and Aqra Ibn Habis came to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. They begged from him. He commanded to give them what they begged. He ordered Muawiyah رضی اللہ عنہ to write a document to give what they begged. Aqra took his document, wrapped it in his turban, and went away. As for Uyaynah, he took his document and came to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم at his home, and said to him: Muhammad, do you see me? I am taking a document to my people, but I do not know what it contains, just like the document of al-Mutalammis. Muawiyah informed the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم of his statement. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: He who begs (from people) when he has sufficient is simply asking for a large amount of Hell-fire. (An-Nufayl (a transmitter) said elsewhere: embers of Hell . ) They asked: Messenger of Allah, what is a sufficiency? (Elsewhere an-Nufayl said: What is a sufficiency which makes begging unfitting?) He replied: It is that which would provide a morning and an evening meal. (Elsewhere an-Nufayl said: It is when one has enough for a day and night, or for a night and a day. ) He (an-Nufayl) narrated to us this tradition briefly in the words that I have mentioned.
