أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ سَأَلَ وَلَهُ مَا يُغْنِيهِ جَاءَتْ خُمُوشًا أَوْ كُدُوحًا فِي وَجْهِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " . قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَاذَا يُغْنِيهِ أَوْ مَاذَا أَغْنَاهُ قَالَ " خَمْسُونَ دِرْهَمًا أَوْ حِسَابُهَا مِنَ الذَّهَبِ " . قَالَ يَحْيَى قَالَ سُفْيَانُ وَسَمِعْتُ زُبَيْدًا يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ .
Ahmad ibn Sulayman reported: Yahya ibn Adam narrated to us: Sufyan al-Thawri narrated to us, from Hakim ibn Jubayr, from Muhammad ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Yazid, from his father, from Abd Allah ibn Masud, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Whoever asks while having enough to suffice him will come on the Day of Resurrection with scratches—or wounds—on his face. It was said: O Messenger of Allah, what is enough to suffice him? He said: Fifty dirhams, or the equivalent of that in gold. Yahya said: Sufyan also said: I heard Zubayd relate from Muhammad ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Yazid.
Translation notes
The report sets a threshold of fifty dirhams or its equivalent in gold and includes a second transmission note attributed by Yahya to Sufyan. The two Arabic injury terms are translated as alternatives and flagged for review.
قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ سَأَلَ وَلَهُ مَا يُغْنِيهِ جَاءَتْ خُمُوشًا أَوْ كُدُوحًا فِي وَجْهِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " .
Khumush and kuduh both refer to marks or injuries on the face, but their distinction and exact severity are unclear.
Should both terms be rendered as scratches, or should kuduh imply deeper wounds?
