Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي جَدِّي أَبُو بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيِّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ الْخَازِنُ الأَمِينُ الَّذِي يُؤَدِّي مَا أُمِرَ بِهِ طَيِّبَةً نَفْسُهُ أَحَدُ الْمُتَصَدِّقَيْنِ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Yusuf narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us, from Abu Burda, who said: My grandfather Abu Burda informed me, from his father Abu Musa al-Ashari, may Allah be pleased with him, who said that the Prophet said: “The trustworthy treasurer who willingly delivers what he has been instructed to give is one of the two charitable givers.”

Translation notes
  • The Arabic calls the treasurer one of the two charitable givers without identifying the second person; the English witness identifies the owner.
