188 — One of our companions narrated to me, from Muhammad ibn Ubayd, who said: “We visited Muhammad ibn Sūqa and asked him to narrate to us. He wept and said, ‘My brothers shunned me when my wealth was gone.’” Someone other than Muhammad said: “He had purses containing money. Whenever his brothers visited him, he would say, ‘My brothers, whoever needs anything, let him take it.’ By Allah, they continued taking until every last purse was empty.”
١٨٨ - حَدَّثَنِي بَعْضُ، أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، قَالَ: " دَخَلْنَا عَلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُوقَةَ فَسَأَلْنَاهُ أَنْ يُحَدِّثَنَا، فَبَكَى وَقَالَ: جَفَانِي إِخْوَانِي حَيْثُ ذَهَبَ مَالِي قَالَ غَيْرُ مُحَمَّدٍ: كَانَتْ لَهُ صُرَرٌ فِيهَا مَالٌ فَإِذَا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ إِخْوَانُهُ قَالَ: إِخْوَانِي مِنْ يَحْتَاجُ إِلَى شَيْءٍ فَلْيَأْخُذْ قَالَ فَأَخَذُوا وَاللَّهِ حَتَّى نَفِدَتْ عَنْ آخِرِهَا "
