3387. Sālim bin 'Abdullāh narrated that his father said: "I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: 'Whoever among you can be like the one who had a Faraq[1] of rice, let him do so.' They said: 'What was the story of the man with the rice, O Messenger of Allāh?' He mentioned the Hadith of the cave, when the mountain fell upon them, and each of them said: 'Mention the best of your deeds.' He said: 'The third one said: "O Allāh, You know that I hired someone for a Faraq of rice, and when evening came I offered him his due, but he refused to take it and went away. I cultivated it for him until I had accumulated for him cattle and herds, then he met me and said: 'Give me my due.' I said: 'Go to those cattle and their herds' and take them.' So he went and drove them away." (Da'if)

3387 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَمْزَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَكُونَ مِثْلَ صَاحِبِ فَرْقِ الْأَرُزِّ، فَلْيَكُنْ مِثْلَهُ» قَالُوا: وَمَنْ صَاحِبُ فَرْقِ الْأَرُزِّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ فَذَكَرَ حَدِيثَ الْغَارِ حِينَ سَقَطَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْجَبَلُ، فَقَالَ: كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمُ اذْكُرُوا أَحْسَنَ عَمَلِكُمْ، قَالَ: " وَقَالَ الثَّالِثُ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي اسْتَأْجَرْتُ أَجِيرًا بِفَرْقِ أَرُزٍّ، فَلَمَّا أَمْسَيْتُ عَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِ حَقَّهُ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْخُذَهُ، وَذَهَبَ فَثَمَّرْتُهُ لَهُ حَتَّى جَمَعْتُ لَهُ بَقَرًا وَرِعَاءَهَا، فَلَقِيَنِي، فَقَالَ: أَعْطِنِي حَقِّي، فَقُلْتُ: اذْهَبْ إِلَى تِلْكَ الْبَقَرِ وَرِعَائِهَا فَخُذْهَا فَذَهَبَ فَاسْتَاقَهَا "

Commentary

If a person, inspired by a feeling of sincerity and well-wishing, and with a view to providing protection, and giving some profit to a Muslim brother in his wealth, invests it in business without the latter's express permission, it is permitted.
