أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَأْمُرُنَا بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَمَا يَجِدُ أَحَدُنَا شَيْئًا يَتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ حَتَّى يَنْطَلِقَ إِلَى السُّوقِ فَيَحْمِلَ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ فَيَجِيءَ بِالْمُدِّ فَيُعْطِيَهُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِنِّي لأَعْرِفُ الْيَوْمَ رَجُلاً لَهُ مِائَةُ أَلْفٍ مَا كَانَ لَهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ دِرْهَمٌ .
Al-Husayn ibn Hurayth reported: al-Fadl ibn Musa informed us, from al-Husayn, from Mansur, from Shaqiq, from Abu Masud, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to command us to give charity. One of us would have nothing to give, so he would go to the market, carry goods on his back, and bring a mudd, which he would give to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Today I know a man who has one hundred thousand, though at that time he did not have even a dirham.
Translation notes
The report describes the effort of someone with no money who carried goods and brought a mudd. It does not identify the precise goods or wage, so none is supplied.
