English translation

2538. 'Umayr, the freed slave of Abi Al-Laḥm, said: "My master commanded me to cut up some meat, then a poor man came so I gave him some. When my master found out about that, he beat me, so I went to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and he came to him and said: 'Do not beat him.' He said: 'He gave away my food without me telling him to.' He said: 'The reward will be shared between you both.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

2537 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمٌ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُمَيْرًا مَوْلَى آبِي اللَّحْمِ، قَالَ: أَمَرَنِي مَوْلَايَ أَنْ أُقَدِّدَ لَحْمًا، فَجَاءَ مِسْكِينٌ، فَأَطْعَمْتُهُ مِنْهُ، فَعَلِمَ بِذَلِكَ مَوْلَايَ فَضَرَبَنِي، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَدَعَاهُ، فَقَالَ: «لِمَ ضَرَبْتَهُ» فَقَالَ: يُطْعِمُ طَعَامِي بِغَيْرِ أَنْ آمُرَهُ - وَقَالَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى: بِغَيْرِ أَمْرِي - قَالَ: «الْأَجْرُ بَيْنَكُمَا»

Commentary

“Abî al-Lahm”: This was his title. The phrase denotes “the refuser of meat”. His title was so because he did not eat meat. Some people of knowledge have stated that he did not eat the meat of those animals, which were sacrificed in the name of idols, during the period of ignorance.
