Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ سَمِعْتُ وَهْبَ بْنَ جَابِرٍ يَقُولُ إِنَّ مَوْلًى لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ لَهُ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُقِيمَ هَذَا الشَّهْرَ هَاهُنَا بِبَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ فَقَالَ لَهُ تَرَكْتَ لِأَهْلِكَ مَا يَقُوتُهُمْ هَذَا الشَّهْرَ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَارْجِعْ إِلَى أَهْلِكَ فَاتْرُكْ لَهُمْ مَا يَقُوتُهُمْ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ كَفَى بِالْمَرْءِ إِثْمًا أَنْ يُضِيعَ مَنْ يَقُوتُ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us: Shu'bah narrated from Abu Ishaq, I heard Wahb ibn Jabir saying: A freed slave of Abdullah ibn Amr said to him: "I wish to stay here in Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem) for this month." He said to him: "Have you left enough to sustain your family for this month?" He said: "No." He said: "Then go back to your family and leave them what will sustain them, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) saying: 'It is sufficient sin for a person to neglect those whom he feeds.'"
