Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَا نِسَاءَ الْمُسْلِمَاتِ لَا تَحْقِرَنَّ جَارَةٌ لِجَارَتِهَا وَلَوْ فِرْسِنَ شَاةٍ»

Translation

Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him, said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ‘Muslim women, let no woman consider too insignificant what she gives her neighbor, even if it is a sheep’s trotter.’

Translation notes
  • The Arabic uses firsin, the hoof or lower leg of a sheep, as an example of a small gift; no collection attribution is given in the source passage.
