Al-Nafaqa 'ala al-'IyalIbn Abi al-Dunya

101 – Muhammad ibn Saʿd narrated to us, Muhammad ibn ʿUmar narrated to us, from Ibn Abi al-Zinad, from his father, who said: Huwayṭib ibn ʿAbd al-ʿUzzā sold one of his houses for forty thousand dinars. Someone remarked to him, “Abu Muhammad, what burden can there be upon a man who has forty thousand dinars?” He replied, “And what are forty thousand dinars to a man who supports five dependants?”

١٠١ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: بَاعَ حُوَيْطِبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعُزَّى دَارًا لَهُ بِأَرْبَعِينَ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ مَا عَلَى رَجُلٍ لَهُ أَرْبَعُونَ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ؟ فَقَالَ: «وَمَا أَرْبَعُونَ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ لِرَجُلٍ لَهُ خَمْسَةٌ مِنَ الْعِيَالِ؟»
