حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَمْزَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَكُونَ مِثْلَ صَاحِبِ فَرْقِ الْأَرُزِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلْيَكُنْ مِثْلَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ وَمَنْ صَاحِبُ فَرْقِ الْأَرُزِّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ فَذَكَرَ حَدِيثَ الْغَارِ حِينَ سَقَطَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْجَبَلُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمُ اذْكُرُوا أَحْسَنَ عَمَلِكُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَقَالَ الثَّالِثُ:‏‏‏‏ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي اسْتَأْجَرْتُ أَجِيرًا بِفَرْقِ أَرُزٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا أَمْسَيْتُ عَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِ حَقَّهُ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْخُذَهُ وَذَهَبَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَثَمَّرْتُهُ لَهُ حَتَّى جَمَعْتُ لَهُ بَقَرًا وَرِعَاءَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَقِيَنِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَعْطِنِي حَقِّي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ اذْهَبْ إِلَى تِلْكَ الْبَقَرِ وَرِعَائِهَا فَخُذْهَا فَذَهَبَ فَاسْتَاقَهَا .

I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم say: If any of you can become like the man who had a faraq of rice, he should become like him. They (the people) asked: Who is the man who had a faraq of rice with him, Messenger of Allah ? Thereupon he narrated the story of the cave when a hillock fell on them (three persons), each of them said: Mention any best work of yours. The narrator said: The third of them said: O Allah, you know that I took a hireling for a faraq of rice. When the evening came, I presented to him his due (i. e. his wages). But he refused to take it and went away. I then cultivated it until I amassed cows and their herdsmen for him. He then met me and said: Give me my dues. I said (to him): Go to those cows and their herdsmen and take them all. He went and drove them away.
