Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ قَالَ: أَصَبْتُ جِرَابًا مِنْ شَحْمٍ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ فَالْتَزَمْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ: لَا أُعْطِي الْيَوْمَ أَحَدًا مِنْ هَذَا شَيْئًا فَالْتَفَتُّ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يبتسم إِلَيّ. مُتَّفق عَلَيْهِ. وَذكر الحَدِيث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ «مَا أُعْطِيكُمْ» فِي بَابِ «رِزْقِ الْوُلَاة»
