293 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; he said: Muhammad ibn Yazid narrated to us; he said: Abu Mus-hir narrated to us, from Yahya ibn Hamza; he said: al-Wadin ibn ʿAtaʾ told me that Yazid ibn Marthad related to him that a man said to Abu al-Dardaʾ:
“We used to acquire a little wealth, it benefited us, and we perceived blessing in it. Today we acquire much wealth, yet we find no benefit in it and sense no blessing at all.”
Abu al-Dardaʾ replied, “That is wealth amassed through ghulul (illicit appropriation), that is to say, wrongdoing.”
٢٩٣ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَمْزَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي الْوَضِينُ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ، أَنَّ يَزِيدَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ، حَدَّثَهُ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ لِأَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ: " كُنَّا نَأْخُذُ الْقَلِيلَ مِنَ الْمَالِ يَنْفَعُنَا وَنَعْرِفُ فِيهِ الْبَرَكَةَ، وَإِنَّا نَأْخُذُ الْيَوْمَ الْكَثِيرَ مِنَ الْمَالِ فَلَمْ نَجِدْهُ يَنْفَعُنَا وَلَا نَعْرِفُ فِيهِ الْبَرَكَةَ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ: ذَلِكَ مَالٌ جُمِعَ مِنَ الْغَلُولِ، يَعْنِي الظُّلْمَ "
