Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَقُوتُ أَهْلَهُ قُوتًا فِيهِ سَعَةٌ وَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَقُوتُ أَهْلَهُ قُوتًا فِيهِ شِدَّةٌ فَنَزَلَتْ ‏‏{مِنْ أَوْسَطِ مَا تُطْعِمُونَ أَهْلِيكُمْ}‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Yahya narrated to us; ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn Mahdi narrated to us; Sufyan ibn ʿUyaynah narrated to us, from Sulayman ibn Abi al-Mughirah, from Saʿid ibn Jubayr, from Ibn ʿAbbas, who said: ‘One man would provide his family with ample sustenance, while another would provide his family with meager sustenance. Then this was revealed: “from the average of what you feed your families.”’
