5. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from al-Husayn ibn abu Sa‘id al-Mukariy from a man from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who said
"A delegate from Yemen once came to the Messenger of Allah (sw). Among them, there was a man who was the greatest among them in speaking and most intense in arguing with the Prophet (sw). The Prophet (sw) became angry and the sweat of anger appeared between his eyes, his complexion changed, and he began to look down on the ground. Jibril (Gabriel (AS)) came to him and said, ‘Your Lord sends you greetings of peace and says, “This is a generous man. He provides food (for people).” The anger of the Prophet (sw) calmed down. He raised his head and said to him, "Had it not been for Jibril informing me about Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, that you are generous, feeding food (to people), I would have driven you away and made you a subject of discussion for those who came after you." The man said to him, "Indeed, your Lord loves generosity." He (sw) replied, "Yes." He (the man) said, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that you are the Messenger of Allah, and by the One who sent you with the truth, I will not take back any my wealth from anyone."
5ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمُكَارِي عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ
أَتَى رَسُولَ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) وَفْدٌ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ وَفِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ كَانَ أَعْظَمَهُمْ كَلاماً وَأَشَدَّهُمْ اسْتِقْصَاءً فِي مُحَاجَّةِ النَّبِيِّ (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فَغَضِبَ النَّبِيُّ (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) حَتَّى الْتَوَى عِرْقُ الْغَضَبِ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَتَرَبَّدَ وَجْهُهُ وَأَطْرَقَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ فَأَتَاهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فَقَالَ رَبُّكَ يُقْرِئُكَ السَّلامَ وَيَقُولُ لَكَ هَذَا رَجُلٌ سَخِيٌّ يُطْعِمُ الطَّعَامَ فَسَكَنَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) الْغَضَبُ وَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَقَالَ لَهُ لَوْ لا أَنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَنِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنَّكَ سَخِيٌّ تُطْعِمُ الطَّعَامَ لَشَرَدْتُ بِكَ وَجَعَلْتُكَ حَدِيثاً لِمَنْ خَلْفَكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَيُحِبُّ السَّخَاءَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ الله وَأَنَّكَ رَسُولُ الله وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لا رَدَدْتُ مِنْ مَالِي أَحَداً.
