Arabic Text
أَخْبَرَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ أَنْ تَصَدَّقَ وَأَنْتَ صَحِيحٌ شَحِيحٌ تَأْمُلُ الْعَيْشَ وَتَخْشَى الْفَقْرَ
English Translation
Telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Mahmud bin Ghailan] dia berkata; Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Waki'] dia berkata; Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Sufyan] dari ['Umarah bin Al Qa'qa'] dari [Abu Zur'ah] dari [Abu Hurairah] dia berkata; Seseorang bertanya; "Wahai Rasulullah! Sedekah apa yang paling utama?" Beliau menjawab: 'Kamu bersedekah padahal saat itu kamu dalam keadaan sehat dan sangat berat untuk bersedekah (bakhil), kamu mendambakan kehidupan dan takut fakir.'
About Sunan an-Nasa'i
Born
215 AH / 829 CE — Nasa, Turkmenistan
Died
303 AH / 915 CE
Imam an-Nasa'i applied the strictest conditions of all Sunan compilers. He first wrote a larger collection (as-Sunan al-Kubra) then condensed it into al-Mujtaba. He was particularly rigorous in identifying weaknesses in narrator chains, resulting in a collection of very high reliability.
An-Nasa'i's conditions for accepting narrators were stricter than those of Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi, making al-Mujtaba one of the most critically refined of the Sunan collections.
