[6515] 13 - (...) It was narrated from 'Abdullâh bin Dînâr that when Ibn 'Umar set out for Makkah, he had a donkey with him that he would ride for a change when he was tired of riding his camel, and he had a turban that he tied on his head. One day while he was riding that donkey, a Bedouin passed by him and he said: 'Aren't you so-and-so the son of so-and-so?' He said: 'Yes.' He gave him the donkey and said: 'Ride this,' and he gave him the turban and said: 'Tie this around your head.' Some of his companions said to him: 'May Allâh forgive you, you have given this Bedouin a donkey that you were riding for a change and a turban that you had tied around your head.' He said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say: "One of the best acts of Birr is for a man to uphold ties with the friends of his father after he (the father) dies." And his father was a friend of 'Umar's.

13 - (2552) حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْحُلْوَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، وَاللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ الْهَادِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا خَرَجَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ، كَانَ لَهُ حِمَارٌ يَتَرَوَّحُ عَلَيْهِ، إِذَا مَلَّ رُكُوبَ الرَّاحِلَةِ وَعِمَامَةٌ يَشُدُّ بِهَا رَأْسَهُ، فَبَيْنَا هُوَ يَوْمًا عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْحِمَارِ، إِذْ مَرَّ بِهِ أَعْرَابِيٌّ، فَقَالَ: أَلَسْتَ ابْنَ فُلَانِ بْنِ فُلَانٍ، قَالَ: بَلَى، فَأَعْطَاهُ الْحِمَارَ، وَقَالَ: ارْكَبْ هَذَا وَالْعِمَامَةَ، قَالَ: اشْدُدْ بِهَا رَأْسَكَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ غَفَرَ اللهُ لَكَ أَعْطَيْتَ هَذَا الْأَعْرَابِيَّ حِمَارًا كُنْتَ تَرَوَّحُ عَلَيْهِ، وَعِمَامَةً كُنْتَ تَشُدُّ بِهَا رَأْسَكَ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ مِنْ أَبَرِّ الْبِرِّ صِلَةَ الرَّجُلِ أَهْلَ وُدِّ أَبِيهِ بَعْدَ أَنْ يُوَلِّيَ وَإِنَّ أَبَاهُ كَانَ صَدِيقًا لِعُمَرَ»
