أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، وَالْقَعْقَاعِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " سَبَقَ دِرْهَمٌ مِائَةَ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ " . قَالُوا وَكَيْفَ قَالَ " كَانَ لِرَجُلٍ دِرْهَمَانِ تَصَدَّقَ بِأَحَدِهِمَا وَانْطَلَقَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى عُرْضِ مَالِهِ فَأَخَذَ مِنْهُ مِائَةَ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ فَتَصَدَّقَ بِهَا " .
Qutaybah reported: al-Layth narrated to us, from Ibn Ajlan, from Saeed ibn Abi Saeed and al-Qaqa, from Abu Hurayrah, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: One dirham surpassed one hundred thousand dirhams. They said: How so? He said: A man had two dirhams and gave one of them in charity, while another man went to his considerable wealth, took out one hundred thousand dirhams, and gave them in charity.
Translation notes
The contrast between the two donors and their amounts is retained. The phrase ard malihi is rendered as his considerable wealth.
