Mishkat al-Masabih 1885
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ عَلَى بِلَالٍ وَعِنْدَهُ صُبْرَةٌ مِنْ تَمْرٍ فَقَالَ: «مَا هَذَا يَا بِلَالُ؟» قَالَ: شَيْءٌ ادَّخَرْتُهُ لِغَدٍ. فَقَالَ: «أَمَا تَخْشَى أَنْ تَرَى لَهُ غَدًا بخارا فِي نَار جَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَنْفِقْ بِلَالُ وَلَا تَخْشَ من ذِي الْعَرْش إقلالا»
Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him, said: The Prophet ﷺ came to Bilal while he had a heap of dates. He said, ‘What is this, Bilal?’ He replied, ‘Something I have saved for tomorrow.’ He said, ‘Do you not fear that tomorrow you will see it as vapor in the Fire of Hell on the Day of Resurrection? Spend, Bilal, and do not fear poverty from the Lord of the Throne.’
Translation notes
The Arabic compares the stored dates’ consequence with vapor in the Fire of Hell. The English witness gives a collection attribution that does not appear in the Arabic source.
