Question

Please source this:

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas (radiyallahu ‘anhuma) said:

“Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) lived a simple life, but when it came to giving, he put a king to shame.”

 

Answer

I have not come across this statement of Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas (radiyallahu ‘anhuma).

Imam Tirmidhi (rahimahullah) has recorded a narration in his Shamail, regarding the generosity of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) on the authority of Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas (radiyallahu ‘anhuma). Under the commentary of this Hadith, ‘Allamah Bajuri (rahimahullah) states, “Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) would give like a king, but he himself lived the life of a pauper.”

(Shamail Tirmidhi with commentary of ‘Allamah Bajuri, pg. 571)

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.

التخريج من المصادر العربية

شرح الشمائل للباجوري: (ص: ٥٧١)
قوله: (كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أجود الناس بالخير) أي: كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في حد ذاته بقطع النظر عن أوقاته وأحواله الكريمة، أشد الناس جودا بكل خير من خيري الدنيا والآخرة، لله وفي الله، من بذل العلم والمال، وبذل نفسه لإظهاررر الدين وهداية العباد…وبالجملة فكان يعطي عطاء الملوك، ويعيش عيش الفقراء فكان يربط على بطنه الحجر من الجوع، وكان يمر عليه الشهر والشهران لا يوقد في بيته نار.
