Hadith #503
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ عَنْ يَزِيدَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْهَادِ عَنْ يُحَنَّسَ مَوْلَى مُصْعَبِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ بَيْنَم
َا نَحْنُ نَسِيرُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْعَرْجِ إِذْ عَرَضَ شَاعِرٌ يُنْشِدُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خُذُوا الشَّيْطَانَ أَوْ أَمْسِكُوا الشَّيْطَانَ لَأَنْ يَمْتَلِئَ جَوْفُ الرَّجُلِ قَيْحًا خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَمْتَلِئَ شِعْرًا

English Translation
Yunus narrated to us, Layth narrated to us, from Yazid — meaning Ibn al-Had — from Yuhannas, the freed slave of Mus'ab ibn al-Zubayr, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (رضي الله عنه) who said: While we were traveling with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, a man came on a mount of his. He began looking right and left. the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever has an extra mount, let him give it to one who has no mount. And whoever has extra provisions, let him give them to one who has no provisions.' He mentioned various types of wealth until we thought that none of us had any right to surplus.
