Sunan an-Nasa'i 2551
أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ، قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، أَنَّهَا جَاءَتِ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَتْ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ لَيْسَ لِي شَىْءٌ إِلاَّ مَا أَدْخَلَ عَلَىَّ الزُّبَيْرُ فَهَلْ عَلَىَّ جُنَاحٌ فِي أَنْ أَرْضَخَ مِمَّا يُدْخِلُ عَلَىَّ فَقَالَ " ارْضَخِي مَا اسْتَطَعْتِ وَلاَ تُوكِي فَيُوكِيَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَيْكِ " .
Al-Hasan ibn Muhammad reported from Hajjaj, who said: Ibn Jurayj said: Ibn Abi Mulaykah informed me, from Abbad ibn Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr, from Asma bint Abi Bakr, that she came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: O Prophet of Allah, I have nothing except what al-Zubayr brings to me. Would I be blameworthy if I gave small amounts from what he brings me? He said: Give as much as you can, and do not tie it up, lest Allah, Mighty and Majestic, withhold from you.
Translation notes
The verb about giving small amounts is rendered as giving in modest portions, and the closing image of not tying it up is preserved idiomatically as withholding.
