2535 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «تَصَدَّقُوا» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عِنْدِي دِينَارٌ، قَالَ: «تَصَدَّقْ بِهِ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ» قَالَ: عِنْدِي آخَرُ، قَالَ: «تَصَدَّقْ بِهِ عَلَى زَوْجَتِكَ» قَالَ: عِنْدِي آخَرُ، قَالَ: «تَصَدَّقْ بِهِ عَلَى وَلَدِكَ» قَالَ: عِنْدِي آخَرُ، قَالَ: «تَصَدَّقْ بِهِ عَلَى خَادِمِكَ» قَالَ: عِنْدِي آخَرُ، قَالَ: «أَنْتَ أَبْصَرُ»
