عن وهب بن جابر قال ابن مولى لعبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص رضي الله عنهما قال له إني اريد ان اقيم هذا الشهر هاهنا ببيت المقدس فقال له تركت لاهلك ما يقوتهم هذا الشهر قال لا قال فارجع إلى اهلك فاترك لهم ما يقوتهم سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم يقول كفى بالمرء إثما ان يضيع من يقوت
Wahb bin Jabir narrates that the son of a slave of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with them) said to him: I intend to spend this month of Ramadan here in Bayt al-Maqdis. He said: Have you left provisions for your wife and children for this blessed month? He replied: No. He said: Then return to your family and arrange for their provisions, because I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that it is sufficient sin for a man that he neglects those whose provision is his responsibility.
