جَاءَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سِنَانٍ فَقَالَ هَلْ عِنْدَكَ شَيْءٌ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَبَعَثْتُ ابْنِي فَأَعْطَيْتُهُ دِرْهَماً يَشْتَرِي بِهِ لَحْماً وَ بَيْضاً فَقَالَ لِي أَيْنَ أَرْسَلْتَ ابْنَكَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ رُدَّهُ رُدَّهُ عِنْدَكَ زَيْتٌ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ هَاتِهِ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ هَلَكَ امْرُؤٌ احْتَقَرَ لِأَخِيهِ مَا يَحْضُرُهُ وَ هَلَكَ امْرُؤٌ احْتَقَرَ لِأَخِيهِ مَا قَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, from Safwan Bin Yahya who said, ‘Abdullah Bin Sinan came over to me, so he said, ‘Is there anything with you?’ I said, ‘Yes’. So I sent my son and gave him one Dirham to buy some meat with it and some eggs. So he said to me, ‘Where did you send your son?’ So I informed him. So he said, ‘Return him, return him! Is there any oil with you?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He said, ‘Give it, for I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘Destroyed is a person who belittles to his brother what he offers to him, and destroyed is a person who belittles to his brother what he brings over to him’.
