51 – Ishaq ibn Ibrahim narrated to us; he said: Abu Dawud al-Hafari informed us, from Sufyan ibn Saʿid, who said:

Jesus, upon him be peace, used to say, “Attachment to this world is the root of every sin, and wealth in it is a grave disease.” They asked, “What is its disease?” He replied, “It never escapes pride and self-conceit.” They said, “And if it does escape?” He answered, “Its very upkeep then distracts one from the remembrance of Allah.”
