3356 - The goodness comes quicker to a house that is visited الْخَيْرُ أَسْرَعُ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي يُغْشَى

٣٣٥٦ - حَدَّثَنَا جُبَارَةُ بْنُ الْمُغَلِّسِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْخَيْرُ أَسْرَعُ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي يُغْشَى، مِنَ الشَّفْرَةِ إِلَى سَنَامِ الْبَعِيرِ»

[ش - (يغشى) أي يغشاه الأضياف. (الشفرة) السكين العظيم. (إلى سنام البعير) لأن العرب كانوا يبدءون به إذا نحروا الإبل للضيف.]

3356 - Jubarah ibn al-Mughlis narrated: Kathir ibn Sulaym narrated on the authority of Anas ibn Malik, who said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: " The goodness comes quicker to a house that is visited than the blade to the camel’s hump.” [Sh - (Yaghsha) means that guests visit it. (The blade) is the large knife. (To the camel’s hump) because the Arabs used to start with it when they slaughtered camels for a guest.]
