Muwatta Malik 1029

Authentic graded by Salim al-Hilali Muwatta Malik 1029

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ حَفْصِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ خَلْدَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ أَبَا لُبَابَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْمُنْذِرِ، حِينَ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَهْجُرُ دَارَ قَوْمِي الَّتِي أَصَبْتُ فِيهَا الذَّنْبَ وَأُجَاوِرُكَ وَأَنْخَلِعُ مِنْ مَالِي صَدَقَةً إِلَى اللَّهِ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏

"‏ يُجْزِيكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الثُّلُثُ ‏"

Yahya related to me from Malik from Uthman ibn Hafs ibn Umar ibn Khalda that Ibn Shihab had heard that Abu Lubaba ibn Abd al-Mundhir, when Allah turned to him said, "Messenger of Allah, should I leave my people's house in which I committed wrong action and keep your company, and give away all my property as sadaqa for Allah and His Messenger? "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Giving away a third of it is enough for you."

Abu al-Walid al-Baji — Al-Muntaqa

( ش ) : قَوْلُهُ إِنَّ أَبَا لُبَابَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْمُنْذِرِ قَالَ حِينَ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ : أَهْجُرُ دَارَ قَوْمِي الَّتِي أَصَبْت فِيهَا الذَّنْبَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْمُبَالَغَةِ فِي الْإِقْلَاعِ عَنْ الذَّنْبِ وَتَرْكِ كُلِّ مَا كَانَ سَبَبًا إِلَيْهِ فَقَدْ يَكُونُ مَقَامُهُ بِبَلَدِهِ أَوْ مَالُهُ بِهَا مِنْ مَالِ الْمَسَاكِينِ وَالْمَالُ سَبَبُ ذَلِكَ الذَّنْبِ وَقَدْ يَكُونُ سَبَبُهُ بُعْدَهُ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ لَمْ يُجَاوِرْهُ فَيَعِظُهُ وَيَنْهَاهُ وَيُعَلِّمُهُ وَلِذَلِكَ قَالَ وَأُجَاوِرُك ( فَصْلٌ ) وَقَوْلُهُ ( وَأَنْخَلِعُ مِنْ مَالِي صَدَقَةً إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ) يُرِيدُ التَّقَرُّبَ بِذَلِكَ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَالشُّكْرَ لَه…
