98 – Suraij narrated to me; he said: “Yazid b. Harun related to us; he said: ‘Muhammad b. ʿAmr narrated from Muhammad b. al-Munkadir, who said:
Habib b. Maslama once sent Abu Dharr, while he was in Syria, three hundred dinars. Abu Dharr said, “Take them back to him. No one is more self-sufficient by Allah than we are. We own nothing but a patch of shade in which we seek cover, a small flock of sheep that returns to us in the evening, and a maidservant who has shown us charity through her service. Indeed, I fear surplus wealth.”’”
٩٨ - وَحَدَّثَنِي سُرَيْجٌ، قَالَ: ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، قَالَ: ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، قَالَ: بَعَثَ حَبِيبُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ إِلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ وَهُوَ بِالشَّامِ ثَلَاثَمِائَةِ دِينَارٍ، فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ: ارْجِعْ بِهَا إِلَيْهِ، مَا أَحَدٌ أَغْنَى بِاللَّهِ مِنَّا، مَا لَنَا إِلَّا ظِلٌّ نَتَوَارَى بِهِ، وَثُلَّةٌ مِنْ غَنَمٍ تَرُوحُ عَلَيْنَا، وَمَوْلَاةٌ لَنَا تَصَدَّقَتْ عَلَيْنَا بِخِدْمَتِهَا، ثُمَّ إِنِّي لَأَتَخَوَّفُ الْفَضْلَ
