أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو صَالِحٍ ابْنُ بِنْتِ يَحْيَى بْنِ مَنْصُورٍ الْقَاضِي أنبأ جَدِّي ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ثنا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ ثنا حَاتِمٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْمَدَنِيَّ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُمَيْرًا مَوْلَى أَبِي اللَّحْمَ قَالَ أَمَرَنِي مَوْلَايَ أَنْ أُقَدِّدَ لَحْمًا فَجَاءَنِي مِسْكِينٌ فَأَطْعَمْتُهُ مِنْهُ فَعَلِمَ بِذَلِكَ مَوْلَايَ فَضَرَبَنِي فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَدَعَاهُ فَقَالَ لِمَ ضَرَبْتَهُ؟ فَقَالَ يُعْطِي طَعَامِي بِغَيْرِ أَنْ آمُرَهُ فَقَالَ الْأَجْرُ بَيْنَكُمَا
English Translation
Umayr, the freed slave of Abu al-Lahm, said: 'My master ordered me to cut meat into strips. A poor person came to me, and I gave him some of it. My master found out and beat me. So I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and mentioned it to him. He called him and said: "Why did you beat him?" He said: "He gives away my food without my command." The Prophet said: "The reward is shared between you."'
