Hadith 514
۞
1. It was narrated to me by Ja’far b. Muhammad from ’Ubayd-Allah from Abdillah b. Maymun al-Qadah from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said
“Nothing in this universe except Allah, knows the reward of feeding a Muslim to satiation. Feeding a Muslim is one of the deeds of being forgiven of one’s sins.” Imam recited the verse: ‘…Or the giving of food in a day of hunger to an orphan, having relationship, or to the poor man lying in the dust.”13
حَدَّثَنِی جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عُبَیْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَیْمُونٍ الْقَدَّاحِ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ
مَنْ أَطْعَمَ مُسْلِماً حَتَّی یُشْبِعَهُ لَمْ یَدْرِ أَحَدٌ مِنْ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ مَا لَهُ مِنَ الْأَجْرِ فِی الْآخِرَهِ لَا مَلَکٌ مُقَرَّبٌ وَ لَا نَبِیٌّ مُرْسَلٌ إِلَّا رَبُّ الْعَالَمِینَ- ثُمَّ قَالَ مِنْ مُوجِبَاتِ الْمَغْفِرَهِ إِطْعَامُ الْمُسْلِمِ السَّغْبَانِ ثُمَّ تَلَا قَوْلَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- أَوْ إِطْعامٌ فِی یَوْمٍ ذِی مَسْغَبَهٍ. یَتِیماً ذا مَقْرَبَهٍ أَوْ مِسْکِیناً ذا مَتْرَبَهٍ
