Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عِيسَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَجْلاَنَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ سَبَقَ دِرْهَمٌ مِائَةَ أَلْفٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَكَيْفَ قَالَ ‏"‏ رَجُلٌ لَهُ دِرْهَمَانِ فَأَخَذَ أَحَدَهُمَا فَتَصَدَّقَ بِهِ وَرَجُلٌ لَهُ مَالٌ كَثِيرٌ فَأَخَذَ مِنْ عُرْضِ مَالِهِ مِائَةَ أَلْفٍ فَتَصَدَّقَ بِهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Ubayd Allah ibn Saeed reported: Safwan ibn Isa narrated to us: Ibn Ajlan narrated to us, from Zayd ibn Aslam, from Abu Salih, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: One dirham surpassed one hundred thousand. They said: O Messenger of Allah, how so? He said: A man had two dirhams, took one of them, and gave it in charity; and another man had much wealth, took one hundred thousand from the breadth of his wealth, and gave it in charity.
