964 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; Bayān ibn al-Ḥakam narrated to us; Muḥammad ibn Ḥātim narrated to us; Bishr ibn al-Ḥārith (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated to us. He said, “I heard al-Muʿafā ibn ʿImrān transmit from al-Awzāʿī, who said: It was once said, ‘A time will come upon people when the scarcest things will be: a congenial brother, a single dirham earned lawfully, and a deed performed in accordance with the Sunnah.’”
