Chapter: A Man Who Fights For The Wages Of His Service.

باب فِي الرَّجُلِ يَغْزُو بِأَجِيرٍ لِيَخْدُمَ

English narration

Narrated by يعلى بن منية التميمي

Narrated Yala ibn Munyah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ announced an expedition, and I was a very old man and I had no servant. I, therefore, sought a hireling who would serve instead of me, and I would give him his portion. So I found a man. When the time of departure arrived, he came to me and said: I do not know what would be the portions, and how much would be my portion. So offer something (as wages) to me, whether there would be any portion or not. I offered three dinars (as his wages) for him. When some booty arrived, I wanted to offer him his portion. But I remembered the dinars, so I went to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned the matter to him. He said: All I can find for him regarding this expedition of his in this world and the next is three dinars which were offered him.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَاصِمُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرٍو السَّيْبَانِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الدَّيْلَمِيِّ ، أَنَّ يَعْلَى ابْنَ مُنْيَةَ ، قَالَ : آذَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْغَزْوِ وَأَنَا شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ لَيْسَ لِي خَادِمٌ ، فَالْتَمَسْتُ أَجِيرًا يَكْفِينِي وَأُجْرِي لَهُ سَهْمَهُ ، فَوَجَدْتُ رَجُلًا فَلَمَّا دَنَا الرَّحِيلُ أَتَانِي فَقَالَ : مَا أَدْرِي مَا السُّهْمَانِ وَمَا يَبْلُغُ سَهْمِي فَسَمِّ لِي شَيْئًا ؟ كَانَ السَّهْمُ أَوْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فَسَمَّيْتُ لَهُ ثَلَاثَةَ دَنَانِيرَ ، فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتْ غَنِيمَتُهُ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُجْرِيَ لَهُ سَهْمَهُ فَذَكَرْتُ الدَّنَانِيرَ ، فَجِئْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرْتُ لَهُ أَمْرَهُ فَقَالَ : "

مَا أَجِدُ لَهُ فِي غَزْوَتِهِ هَذِهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا دَنَانِيرَهُ الَّتِي سَمَّى
