Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبَّادَ بْنَ شُرَحْبِيلَ وَكَانَ مِنَّا مِنْ بَنِي غُبَرَ قَالَ أَصَابَتْنَا سَنَةٌ فَأَتَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَدَخَلْتُ حَائِطًا مِنْ حِيطَانِهَا فَأَخَذْتُ سُنْبُلًا فَفَرَكْتُهُ وَأَكَلْتُ مِنْهُ وَحَمَلْتُ فِي ثَوْبِي فَجَاءَ صَاحِبُ الْحَائِطِ فَضَرَبَنِي وَأَخَذَ ثَوْبِي فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ مَا عَلَّمْتَهُ إِذْ كَانَ جَاهِلًا وَلَا أَطْعَمْتَهُ إِذْ كَانَ سَاغِبًا أَوْ جَائِعًا فَرَدَّ عَلَيَّ الثَّوْبَ وَأَمَرَ لِي بِنِصْفِ وَسْقٍ أَوْ وَسْقٍ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us, Shu'bah narrated to us, from Abu Bishr, who said: I heard Abbad ibn Shurahbil - who was one of us, from Banu Ghubar - say: A year of hardship struck us, so I came to Madinah and entered one of its walled orchards. I took an ear of grain, rubbed it, ate from it, and carried some in my garment. Then the owner of the orchard came, struck me, and took my garment. I went to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and he said [to the man]: You did not teach him when he was ignorant, nor did you feed him when he was hungry. Then he returned my garment to me and ordered that I be given half a wasq, or a wasq, of grain.
