138/187 عن عبادة بن الوليد بن عبادة بن الصامت قال: خرجت انا وابي نطلب العلم في هذا الحي من الانصار، قبل ان يهلكوا، فكان اول من لقينا ابو اليسر(1)، صاحب النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ومعه غلام له، وعلى ابي اليسر بردة ومعافري، وعلى غلامه بردة ومعافري. فقلت له: يا عمي! لو اخذت بردة غلامك واعطيته معافريك؛ او اخذت معافريه واعطيته بردتك كانت عليك حلة او عليه حلة! فمسح راسي وقال: اللهم بارك فيه. يا ابن اخي! بصر عيني هاتين، وسمع اذني هاتين، ووعاه قلبي – واشار إلى نياط قلبه – النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول:" اطعموهم مما تاكلون، واكسوهم مما تلبسون"، وكان ان اعطيه من متاع الدنيا اهون علي من ان ياخذ حسناتي يوم القيامة.
It is narrated from ‘Ubadah bin Walid bin ‘Ubadah bin Samit: My father and I set out, seeking knowledge among the Ansar before they passed away. The first person we met was Abu Yasar, a companion of the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), and his slave was with him. Abu Yasar was wearing a striped Yemeni cloak and a Ma’afiri cloak, and his slave was also wearing a striped Yemeni cloak and a Ma’afiri cloak. I said to him: O uncle! If you took your slave’s cloak and gave him your Ma’afiri, or took his Ma’afiri and gave him your cloak, then both of you would have a matching set. He placed his hand on my head and said: O Allah! Bless him. O my nephew! These two eyes of mine have seen, these two ears of mine have heard, and my heart has well remembered—and he pointed to the middle of his chest—that the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) used to say: Feed them from what you eat, and clothe them from what you wear. And if I give him worldly goods, it is easier for me than that he should take my good deeds on the Day of Resurrection.
