We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the early part of the day when a group of people came to him, barefoot and nearly naked, wrapped in striped woolen garments or cloaks, with swords slung over their shoulders. Most of them were from Mudar, indeed all of them were from Mudar. The face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ changed when he saw the destitution they were in. He went inside, then came out and ordered Bilal to give the call to prayer and the iqamah. He led the prayer, then delivered a sermon, saying, "People, fear your Lord who created you from a single soul," until the end of the verse, "Indeed, Allah is ever a watcher over you" [Nisa 4:1]. He also recited the verse from al-Hashr, "And let every soul look to what it has sent forth for tomorrow" [Hashr 59:18].Then he said, "Let a man give in charity from his dinar, from his dirham, from his garment, from a sa of his wheat, from a sa of his dates," until he said, "even if it be half a date."A man from the Ansar then came forward with a bag so heavy his hand could barely carry it, indeed it could not. Then the people followed in succession until I saw two heaps of food and clothing, and I saw the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ glowing, as if it were gilded with gold.The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "Whoever establishes a good practice in Islam will have its reward and the reward of all who act upon it after him, without their rewards being diminished in the least. And whoever establishes an evil practice in Islam will bear its burden and the burden of all who act upon it after him, without their burdens being diminished in the least."
حدثنا محمد بن جعفر حدثنا شعبة عن عون بن أبي جحيفة
كنا عند رسول الله ﷺ في صدر النهار قال فجاءه قوم حفاة عراة مجتابي النمار أو العباء متقلدي السيوف عامتهم من مضر بل كلهم من مضر فتغير وجه رسول الله ﷺ لما رأى بهم من الفاقة قال فدخل ثم خرج فأمر بلالا فأذن وأقام فصلى ثم خطب فقال {يا أيها الناس اتقوا ربكم الذي خلقكم من نفس واحدة} إلى آخر الآية {إن الله كان عليكم رقيبا} وقرأ الآية التي في الحشر {ولتنظر نفس ما قدمت لغد} تصدق رجل من ديناره من درهمه من ثوبه من صاع بره من صاع تمره حتى قال ولو بشق تمرة قال فجاء رجل من الأنصار بصرة كادت كفه تعجز عنها بل قد عجزت ثم تتابع الناس حتى رأيت كومين من طعام وثياب حتى رأيت رسول الله ﷺ يتهلل وجهه يعني كأنه مذهبة فقال رسول الله ﷺ من سن في الإسلام سنة حسنة فله أجرها وأجر من عمل بها بعده من غير أن ينتقص من أجورهم شيء ومن سن في الإسلام سنة سيئة كان عليه وزرها ووزر من عمل بها بعده من غير أن ينتقص من أوزارهم شيء
