996 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; my father narrated to me; Kathir narrated to us; Jaʿfar narrated to us; Yazid ibn al-Asamm narrated to us, saying: I heard Abu Hurayrah say, “Those who heap up much (wealth) will be in the Fire—except the one who does like this and like this.” He then moved both hands, gesturing in front of him, behind him, to his right, and to his left. After that he added, “Yet such people are few indeed.”

Yazid went on: “If I did not hear this from Abu Hurayrah”—and he pointed with two fingers to his ears—“then may they be struck with deafness.”
