Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ أَبُو صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي الْوَضَّاحِ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْمُؤَدِّبُ فِي ذِي الْقَعْدَةِ سَنَةَ سَبْعِينَ فَذَكَرَ حَدِيثًا وَذَكَرَ هَذَا عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا تَصَدَّقَ بِتَمْرَةٍ مِنْ الطَّيِّبِ وَلَا يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ إِلَّا الطَّيِّبَ وَقَعَتْ فِي يَدِ اللَّهِ فَيُرَبِّيهَا لَهُ كَمَا يُرَبِّي أَحَدُكُمْ فَلُوَّهُ أَوْ فَصِيلَهُ حَتَّى تَعُودَ فِي يَدِهِ مِثْلَ الْجَبَلِ.
English Translation
Ahmad Abu Salih told us, Muhammad ibn Muslim - meaning Ibn Abi al-Waddah, Abu Sa'id the tutor - told us, in Dhu al-Qa'dah of the year seventy, and he mentioned a hadith, and mentioned this from Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Alqamah, from Abu Salamah, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "When a man gives charity from good, lawful earnings - and Allah accepts only what is good - it falls into the hand of Allah, and He nurtures it for him as one of you nurtures his young foal or weaned camel-calf, until it returns to him grown like a mountain."
