1. We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan bin Ahmad bin Waleed, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan al-Saffar, from Abbas bin Ma’ruf, from Ali bin Mahziyar, from Fadala, from Aban bin Uthman, from Abdul-Rahman bin Abi Abdillah, from Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, with regards to the saying of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He: «and when they fall on their sides» (22:36). He said
If they fall (lifeless) on the ground, then eat from it. «and feed the needy and the beggar» (22:36). He said: The needy is the one who is pleased with what you give him, and who is not raged, nor frowns nor makes scum fill his mouth corner out of anger. The beggar is the one who passes by you whom you feed.
حدثنا محمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد - رضي الله عنه - قال: حدثنا محمد بن الحسن الصفار، عن العباس بن معروف، عن علي بن مهزيار، عن فضالة، عن أبان بن عثمان، عن عبد الرحمن بن أبي عبد الله، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام في قول الله عز وجل: " فإذا وجبت جنوبها " قال
إذا وقعت على الأرض فكلوا منها " وأطعموا القانع والمعتر " قال: القانع: الذي يرضى بما أعطيته ولا يسخط ولا يكلح ولا يزبد شدقه غضبا ، والمعتر المار بك تطعمه.
