1218 – ‘Abd Allah narrated to us; Abū Bakr narrated to me; Abū Khālid al-Aḥmar narrated to us; from ʿAmr ibn Qays—meaning al-Mulāʾī—who said: “They used to regard it as reprehensible for a man to give his small child something and let him go out with it, for a poor person might see him and weep over what his family lacks, and an orphan might see him and weep over what his family lacks as well.”
١٢١٨ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ قَيْسٍ يَعْنِي الْمُلَائِيَّ، قَالَ: كَانُوا يَكْرَهُونَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَ الرَّجُلُ صَبِيَّهُ الشَّيْءَ فَيَخْرُجَ بِهِ فَيَرَاهُ الْمِسْكِينُ فَيَبْكِي عَلَى أَهْلِهِ وَيَرَاهُ الْيَتِيمُ فَيَبْكِي عَلَى أَهْلِهِ "
