Musnad Ahmad 687 (Book 5, Hadith 120) #34346
Working Hard and Sharing Rewards

SUMMARY: The hadith is about 'Ali's experience of working in a garden and being rewarded with dates for his labor. He then shared some of the dates with the Prophet.

It was narrated that Mujahid said: 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: I set out and came to a garden and the owner hired me to draw water-a date for a bucket. I drew water until I filled my palm with dates. Then I went to the water and drank from it. Then I came to the Prophet and gave him some of the dates to eat, and I ate some of them.
حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ مُوسَى الصَّغِيرِ الطَّحَّانِ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ خَرَجْتُ فَأَتَيْتُ حَائِطًا قَالَ فَقَالَ دَلْوٌ بِتَمْرَةٍ قَالَ فَدَلَّيْتُ حَتَّى مَلَأْتُ كَفِّي ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ الْمَاءَ فَاسْتَعْذَبْتُ يَعْنِي شَرِبْتُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ فَأَطْعَمْتُهُ بَعْضَهُ وَأَكَلْتُ أَنَا بَعْضَهُ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith tells us about the importance of hard work and generosity. 'Ali was hired to draw water from a garden, and he was rewarded with dates for his labor. Instead of keeping all the rewards to himself, he shared some of them with Prophet Muhammad. This teaches us that we should always be generous when we are blessed with something, no matter how small it may be. We should also remember that hard work is important in order to achieve success in life; if we put effort into our tasks, then Allah will reward us accordingly.
