Hadith #2402
حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، وَيُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو، بْنُ الْحَارِثِ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، مَوْلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لأَنْ يَحْتَزِمَ أَحَدُكُمْ حُزْمَةً مِنْ حَطَبٍ فَيَحْمِلَهَا عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ فَيَبِيعَهَا خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ رَجُلاً يُعْطِيهِ أَوْ يَمْنَعُهُ " .
Abu Taher told me, and Jonah, the son of the highest servant, said, "We spoke to the son of Wahhab, and he told me about 'Amr, the son of al-Hārith, the son of Shehab, the son of Abi' Ubayd, the master of the Most Gracious, the son of 'Uf, that he heard Abu Hurayrah, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say," Let one of you decide on a package From wood, he carries it on his back and sells it for good, rather than asking a man to give it or prevent it."
